A Sore manhood and Sleep Apnea? It Happens
by John Dugan OwnerA sore manhood can be a bother, but when it happens only
occasionally, it’s something a guy lives with. Besides, a sore manhood is often
a result of some very enthusiastic and/or lengthy play (whether with a partner
or with one’s own hand), and the enjoyment a guy experiences may be worth the
occasional minor deviation from proper male organ care. But sometimes a sore
manhood is a common thing – and it may occur without the benefits of aggressive
intimate contact. If that’s the case, finding out the cause becomes important –
and in some instances, sleep apnea may be behind that pain.
Sleep
apnea
In
recent years, sleep apnea has moved a bit closer into the public consciousness,
but many people still are not necessarily aware of exactly what it is. As
Wikipedia explains it, sleep apnea is “a sleep disorder characterized by pauses
in breathing or periods of shallow breathing during sleep.” These pauses can
vary in length – some are only a couple of second, others may last a few
minutes – and they tend to happy several times during the course of what should
be a good night’s sleep. Many people with sleep apnea also exhibit bouts of
very loud snoring (often to their partners’ annoyance.) because of the
interrupted breathing, many people with sleep apnea feel very tired during the
day, even after sleeping for a regular amount of time.
Men
are about twice as likely to have sleep apnea as women, and people who are
overweight also have a higher risk. Treatment typically involves lifestyle
changes (such as losing weight or stopping smoking.) Many people now use what
is called a CPAP machine, which is intended to help keep airway passages open
while sleeping and so lessen the chance of breathing interruptions.
And
the sore manhood?
So
why is a sore manhood sometimes associated with sleep apnea? Basically,
researchers have discovered a greater likelihood of sleep-related painful
tumescence and sleep apnea.
Sleep-related
painful tumescence is a fairly rare condition, with only about one percent of
men estimated to be affected by it (however, it should be noted that some
researchers believe the condition is under-reported). As the name
implies, the disorder is marked by the presence of a very painful engorgement
while sleeping.
With
this condition, the pain is such that it awakens the man – and he often has
difficulty returning to sleep for some time afterward. Thus, not only is the
man dealing with a sore manhood but also with interrupted sleep.
Doctors
are not sure why some men experience these painful engorgements as a result of
sleep apnea. But the use of CPAP machines, while it treats the apnea, does not
seem to have an impact on the painful tumescence. Use of beta blockers has had
some success in treating the condition, as had use of selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors.
Since
there is still much that is not known about the connection between the
conditions, individuals with sleep apnea who find themselves with a sore
manhood should consult with their doctor to determine what strategies they
should follow to address the issue.
When
a sore manhood comes from regular overuse instead of sleep apnea, soothing help
can be found in a first class male organ health creme (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe
for skin). A crème that contains both a high-end emollient (like shea
butter) and a natural moisturizer (such as vitamin E), can help a man recover
from everyday soreness. It also helps to find a crème with L-carnitine. Why?
Because overuse often diminishes sensitivity, and L-carnitine can help restore
lost sensation in the manhood.
