One thing all men can agree on is this: male organ pain is awful. Every man has taken a shot to the family jewels once or twice in his lifetime. When this happened, he likely doubled over in pain with an instant stomach ache, or maybe even threw up or passed out.  A man wouldn’t wish male organ pain on his worst enemy – okay – maybe his worst enemy, but it is not something to be taken lightly.  When it comes to a nut shot, the cause of the pain is clear, but sometimes a man is less certain about why he is experiencing pain.  Below are some common Q & A’s about male organ pain and tips for a healthy male organ. So grab an icepack, and read on.

Q: What causes male organ pain during urination?

A: Painful urination is a common problem experienced by men; this issue can be caused by several different problems.  It is often necessary to make a trip to the doctor when this occurs, as a round of antibiotics or other treatment is probably necessary.  Common culprits of pain during urination include: bladder infection, urinary tract infection, prostatitis, bladder stones, or a partner-transmitted infection.

Q: Is it normal to have pain on release?

A: No! Next question… Seriously though, pain on release is not a normal occurrence and should be followed up by a trip to the urologist.  A painful release could indicate any number of problems in a man’s plumbing including: urethritis, prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, and prostate cancer.  One painful release may just be a fluke or the result of delaying the release too long, but persistently occurring pain warrants a phone call to the doctor.

Q: What causes sheath pain?

A: Just like any other body part, the sheath is subject to pain as well.  One common cause for pain of the sheath is infection resulting from poor hygiene.  Men who neglect to fully retract the sheath and clean under it, or who have difficulty retracting the skin, may experience infection known as balanitis from bacteria becoming trapped under the skin flap. Other conditions of the sheath include: phimosis, when the skin will not retract over the head of the male organ; and paraphimosis, when the sheath is stuck in the retracted position causing swelling and pain.

Q: What causes a painful tumescence?

A:  Known as priapism, some men experience painful and often prolonged tumescence in spite of no physiological stimulation. Meaning they don’t want to have relations at the moment, but for some reason the male organ didn’t get the memo.  This is one of those times when immediate care is needed – persistent, unwanted tumescence may be caused by medication side effects or alcohol use, or spinal cord injury.  The condition can cause permanent damage to the male organ as the excessive amount of blood flow for a long time may lead to nerve damage.

Q: Can the male organ be broken?

A: Though not actually a bone, the male organ can sustain damage from contact that causes an injury to the male organ, similar to a broken bone.  For instance, if an stiff male organ is injured during overly acrobatic or enthusiastic coupling, it may create scar tissue on the male organ that eventually causes the male organ to curve to one side.  This plaque build up can develop from abrupt injuries that cause the male organ to bend or snap, or from subtle injuries such as forceful or aggressive self-pleasuring.  The condition is known as Peyronie’s Disease, and in extreme conditions can make penetration painful and even impossible.

Q: Does the male organ need any special care?

A: Absolutely.  Men take special care of all other vital parts of the body, so why should the male organ be any different?  Luckily, it takes little effort to keep the manhood up and running.  Simply begin daily use of a male organ health formula (most professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) to keep the male organ healthy and thriving. A specially formulated male organ oil can help fight infection causing bacteria that can lead to pain while also reducing plaque buildup that can lead to Peyronie’s disease.  A man need only apply the male organ oil after taking a shower and continue about his day, simple as that.
