The reproductive organs of a man face several technical difficulties. Here is your guide to solve the most common problems.
Men feel somewhat uncomfortable with our genitals.Women can wear a skirt without underwear (thank you, Britney!), But most men do not dare to walk without boxers. Adult movies show the pink parts of the woman, but cover the man’s appendix with a black rectangle. And, while women have an entire area of medicine dedicated to the health of their private parts, if not for the test to detect a hernia, men would rarely attend a doctor’s office. The result? When it comes to taking care of our most critical team, what we need to conserve the species, we are practically alone. And that is not good, because many things can happen to the penis, testicles and prostate: itching, infection, pain, bumps, irritation, tumors, rash, sagging, swelling, clotting and, worse, cancer. If you don’t pay attention, you can end up sick, sterile or dead. However, with a little knowledge, you can eliminate much of the dangers. Start with this article. These nine scenarios may seem shocking, but at least you’ll know what to do if they happen to happen to you.
I HAVE A TERRIBLE PAIN IN THE SCROT.
The cause Assuming you did not receive a kick, it is likely that one of your testicles is wrapped around the so-called spermatic cord, obstructing blood flow. “He thinks it’s like a ball hanging on a rope,” explains Dr. Tony Makhlouf, a urology surgeon at the University of Minnesota medical center in the United States. “When the rope turns, it gets tangled and the ball goes up.” This knot (known as testicular torsion) instantly causes very sharp pain.
The cure: go to the emergency room of a hospital. “If you don’t receive treatment in four hours, you could lose your testicle,” warns Dr. Larry Lipshultz, professor of urology at the Baylor School of Medicine in the United States. Why take a chance? Emergency doctors will do an ultrasound to assess whether the testicle and cord are actually entangled; if so, they will call a urologist surgeon to untangle them. Then, he will suture each testicle within the scrotum to prevent the torsion from coming back.
I FEEL AN INTENSE PAIN IN THE TESTILES
The cause The spiral tube that carries sperm from the testicles is likely to be inflamed due to a bacterial infection. The most common culprits are gonorrhea, chlamydia and, in men over 40, a urinary tract infection that has migrated. The testicles also infl love each other.
The cure Don’t just take an Advil and try to forget the matter. “If you don’t treat yourself, the tubes can get hurt and blocked,” explains Dr. Makhlouf. “You could become infertile.” So you should consult your doctor, who will probably prescribe an oral antibiotic for at least two weeks to attack the bacteria. The swelling and pain should begin to subside within three days, but the symptoms may take months to disappear.
I AM SORROWING THE PENIS, THE TESTILES AND THE LOW PART OF THE ABDOMEN, THE PAIN EXTENDS ME TO THE LEGS AND I FEEL IT WHEN I PRAY OR EJACULATE.
The cause Chronic pain syndrome in the pelvis, which is usually the result of inflammation in the prostate. “It’s a set of symptoms that originates from a wound, often an infection, and problems caused by the way the body responds to that infection,” says Dr. Daniel Shoskes, a urologist at the Cleveland Clinic in the United States. .
The cure Two thirds of men will improve with antibiotics during the early stages. For those who retain inflammation beyond the initial infection, Dr. Shoskes prescribes herbal bioflavonoid preparations, which reduce inflammation. Other agents that block an important receptor in the region also reduce pain and improve urinary flow. There are men who suffer from nervous and muscular spasms, so they need muscle relaxants and physical therapy. In either case, you should consult a urologist, but you can help relieve pain by taking hot baths and avoiding alcohol, heavily spiced foods and caffeine; It also helps to use a donut-shaped cushion if you are going to sit for long periods.
MY SCROT LOOKS LIKE A SACK OF Worms AND MY TESTICLES ARE FALLER THAN SOFIA BORNS LOREN.
The cause Sometimes, the valves inside the veins of the scrotum do not close properly, so that the blood accumulates and swells. The resulting group of enlarged veins, or varicoceles, does not always hurt, but excess blood causes the testicles to warm up. This jeopardizes sperm production (which requires temperatures below 22.7 ° C) and causes the testicles to move away from the body. About 20% of men experience a varicocele at some time in their life.
The cure “If you notice that your testicles are very droopy, consult a urologist specializing in infertility,” advises Dr. Harry Fisch, director of the male reproductive center of the Presbyterian Hospital in New York, United States, and author of The Male Biological Clock. The doctor can prevent blood from accumulating by tying or blocking the veins. It is a minor outpatient surgery and you can have sex again in three weeks, although you must schedule a semen analysis at three or four months. In 60% of infertile men, semen quality improves after surgery, says Dr. Fisch. Even if you don’t want to have children, he adds, it is necessary to correct the problem if it causes pain or causes a difference in size between the testicles.
MY SEMEN HAS A RED TONE AND, INSTEAD OF LEAVING WITH FORCE, JUST DRIP DURING THE EJACULATION.
The cause When infections begin to subside, a scar can form and create a blockage in the ejaculation channel. “It’s like a five-lane highway that suddenly comes down to two,” exemplifies Dr. Fisch. The reddish tone is due to bleeding caused by the initial infection. It is likely that the volume of ejaculation is below the average of half a tablespoon and continues to drip after reaching orgasm.
The cure You can work with drip ejaculation, but fortunately there is a solution through surgery. The term of the operation is “transurethral resection of the ejaculation channels”, but it is simpler than it seems. “All we do is remove the scar tissue and with that we open the channels,” adds Dr. Fisch. You can resume sexual activity over a period of seven to 10 days.
I AM 25 YEARS OLD AND I AM VERY GOOD, BUT I HAVE ERECTION PROBLEMS
The cause According to the American Urological Association, about 25% of cases of erectile dysfunction are psychological, and can be caused by situations as diverse as relationship problems or performance anxiety. For example, a man may have a sexual experience after excessive drinking and not achieve an erection. “In later sexual relations, even if he does not consume alcohol, he will remember that episode, he will think that something is wrong with him and will not perform well,” says Dr. Karen Boyle, director of Medicine and Reproductive Surgery at the Johns Hopkins Brady Urological Institute, in U.S.
The cure Once the physical factors have been discarded, try to seduce her after a romantic breakfast. Your testosterone levels reach their maximum level around 7:00 a.m., so your hormones and your penis will be well concentrated. In many cases, like the alcohol scenario we mentioned before, a pharmaceutical option can help. “A little confidence in yourself represents many advantages in this area,” says Dr. Andrew McCullough, of the medical center of the University of New York, in the United States. If all else fails, seek advice to solve the underlying psychological problems.
I HAVE AN ERUPTION THAT BEGINS ME IN THE AREA OF THE INGLE.
The cause If the rash is located on the thighs, it is often tinea cruris (aka itching caused by the trusa), a fungus that grows in hot and humid environments, such as when the shorts you use to do gymnastics have not been washed since Vicente Fox’s six-year term. If the rash is red, bright, and is located right on the penis, it could be a fungal infection that women transmit to men by having unprotected sex.
The cure As a preventive measure wash your shorts, bathe immediately after exercising and dry the area very well before dressing. Regarding treatment, a medication that is sold without a prescription, such as Lotrimin, can work wonders. “Keep using it a week or two after the rash disappears, in order to eradicate it completely and prevent it from reappearing,” advises dermatologist Peter Kopelson of the Kopelson Clinic in Beverly Hills, California, United States. For a fungal infection, try a fungicidal cream and apply twice a day for a week. Do not try with hydrocortisone cream. By suppressing the immune system, “hydrocortisone will make the fungus worse,” concludes Dr. Kopelson.
I HAVE GROWTHS IN THE FORM OF COLIFLOR IN THE PENIS, FROM THIS DRINK A LIQUID LIKE WATER; IN MY GENITALS PAINFUL BLISTER APPEARED AND IN OCCASIONS I NOTE THAT A YELLOW LIQUID DROPS. IN ADDITION I ALSO LIKE RED IRRITATIONS IN THE GENITALS AND PROTUBERANCES IN THE INGLE.
The causes In order, it could be chlamydia, genital herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis and moluscum. You haven’t used a condom, right?
PriestsWe are not here to give you a chair of sexual medicine, but there are some things you should know. First, according to one study, 8.2% of men between 16 and 24 years of age are infected with chlamydia, but only 2.4% of them have symptoms. And analyzes by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found that one in eight women who received chlamydia treatment were infected again over a period of one year. On the other hand, “moluscum (a viral infection) is the newest scourge we observe,” says Dr. Joel Schlessinger, president of the American Society of Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetic Surgery. “The bumps are very contagious and, although they represent little or no risk, they can be a nuisance and require several treatments to completely eradicate them. ” You must be alert.
