An Itchy Member Can Result from Diabetes
by John Dugan OwnerOne of the (many) reasons a guy should pay
attention to his male organ
health is that sometimes, a manhood health issue may be a sign of a
more general problem. By the same token, a general health issue may have an
effect on member health, even when the two don’t seem related. Such is the case
with an itchy member and diabetes.
In
some cases, an itchy member may let a man know he might have diabetes. And a
man with diabetes may find that it results in an itchy member condition.
Whichever comes first – the itchy member or the diabetes – it’s important to be
aware that the two can be connected.
Not
always diabetes
Just
because a man has an itchy member, it does not mean he has diabetes. There are
numerous other causes of an itchy member, including skin conditions such as
eczema; use of a too-strong skin cleanser or laundry detergent; scabies or
midsection lice; an allergic reaction to a latex protective covering; or
herpes. But sometimes that itchiness is related to a diabetic condition.
How?
Just
how might diabetes be behind that need to scratch the manhood? Well, the
hallmark of diabetes is an inability to properly maintain appropriate blood
sugar levels. Sugar levels can spike or plummet, and either one of these can
cause considerable problems for a person.
Often
a person with diabetes – especially undiagnosed and therefore unmanaged
diabetes – will experience frequent periods in which their blood sugar is
simply too high. Studies have shown that high blood sugar encourages the
production of yeast infections in general. And yeast infections prefer a warm,
moist, dark place in which to grow – which is a perfect description of most
men’s midsections. Hidden away beneath a layer of trousers and underwear, the
manhood presents an ideal breeding ground for yeast. The high blood sugar associated
with diabetes just makes it that much more likely that the yeast will populate
and infect the area.
And,
to complete the picture, a yeast infection is known for the extreme itchiness
it creates. So diabetes can make a yeast infection more likely, which can lead
to an itchy member.
Other
symptoms
Men
who are not diagnosed with diabetes may wonder what else they should look for
in addition to an itchy member. Some other common symptoms of diabetes include:
-
Increased thirst
-
Increased appetite (sometimes even shortly after eating)
-
Need to urinate frequently
- Dry
mouth
-
Blurry vision
-
Tiredness
-
Nausea
-
Numbness in the extremities (hands or feet)
Treatment
Diabetes
is a serious illness, so if a man suspects he may have it, he should definitely
consult with a doctor and get a diagnosis. Management involves trying to keep
blood sugar and insulin levels balanced. Lifestyle changes are
usually required; for example, a person needs to be careful about what he eats,
how much he eats and when he eats. Getting appropriate exercise and keeping
weight down is also necessary.
In
addition, most people with diabetes must monitor their blood sugar level and
take medications when necessary. In some cases medications can be taken orally,
but in other cases insulin must be injected into the body.
For
most men, an itchy member is likely due to something other than diabetes. In
such cases, regularly applying a first class male organ health crème (health
professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and
safe for skin) often helps to keep the itchiness at bay. By using a
crème with a combination of hydrators (such as vitamin E and Shea butter), the
manhood skin stays moisturized, which often helps prevent itching. It’s also
important that the crème contains a potent antioxidant (such as alpha lipoic
acid), which can keep the skin healthy and less prone to itching by fighting
free radicals and the damage they cause.
