Psoriasis Can Impact Reproductive Function
by John Dugan OwnerPsoriasis is one of the more well-known skin disorders, and it can
cause discomfort for many who suffer from it. It also can be something of a
male organ health concern as, surprisingly, many men with psoriasis also suffer
from reproductive function issues.
What is psoriasis?
The National Psoriasis Foundation defines psoriasis as “an
immune-mediated disease that causes raised, red, scaly patches to appear on the
skin.” It most often presents on the knees, elbows or scalp, but it can occur
anywhere on the body (including the member). The rash is often itchy and in
some cases it can also sting and crate a burning sensation.
The exact cause of psoriasis is not known, although it appears to
have a genetic connection that somehow affects the immune system. People with
psoriasis grow skin cells at a much faster rate than is typical, which is what
brings about the scaly skin rashes.
Study
A recent article published in JAMA Dermatology looked at 28
previously published studies. Entitled “Association Between Psoriasis and
Sensual and Tumescence Dysfunction in Epidemiologic Studies,” the article
sought to examine evidence for any links between psoriasis and sensual health.
The 28 studies reviewed involved more than 52,000 people with
psoriasis. (It also compared them to more than 1,800,000 people without
psoriasis, so that they had a large control group.)
After completing the study, the authors determined that men with
psoriasis may be up to four times as likely to have tumescent male organ issues
than men who do not suffer from psoriasis.
Not the disease itself
The study did not seem to indicate that the disease itself caused
the tumescence dysfunction; it was more that having the disease created
situations in which a tumescent male organ issue was more likely to occur. For
example, the study found that many men with psoriasis exhibited signs of
increased anxiety and depression, and that it was these factors which were
ultimately more responsible for the tumescence dysfunction.
In some cases, the presence of psoriasis on the manhood and/or
sacks could also be likely to increase tumescence issues. Again, this seems to
be less a result of the disease itself and more a result of the feelings that
it arouses in the victim.
Because the disease has an impact beyond the visible presence on
the skin, the study authors suggest that doctors need to take this into
consideration when treating psoriasis. For example, in addition to prescribing
medications designed to treat the skin eruption, a doctor may want to try to
ascertain if anxiety or depression is being fueled by the disease. If so, they
may suggest a visit to a mental health professional or, if they are qualified,
suggest strategies for dealing with these emotional issues.
The age of the individual was also seen as a factor;
often men experience more tumescent male organ challenges as they approach
their older years.
Men with psoriasis who also experience tumescence issues should
discuss this with their doctors and seek assistance in resolving this issue.
Even with no tumescent male organ issues, psoriasis on the manhood
can cause discomfort to a man. Maintaining expert male organ health may help,
so men should regularly apply a top notch male organ health
creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically
proven mild and safe for skin). Achieving proper
skin moisturization is crucial, so the chosen crème should include both a high
end emollient (such as shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E).
Additional vitamins, such as C and D, can also help to benefit delicate member
skin. Finally, if the crème also contains alpha lipoic acid, so much the
better. This potent antioxidant fights excess free radicals and thereby reins
in potential oxidative stress.
