Sometimes Male Organ Bumps Signify HSV
by John Dugan OwnerIf a
guy takes a close look at his manhood, he may notice the presence of male organ
bumps. Not all men have them, but male organ bumps are fairly common. Many
times – as with Fordyce spots, little light raised bumps – they are completely
benign. But other times they can be a sign that a male organ health issue may
be present. For example, mid-section HSV is sometimes accompanied by the
presence of male organ bumps.
About
HSV
HSV
in or around the male member in men (or the vulva in women) are known as
midsection HSV and are caused by either HSV-1 (HSV simplex virus-1) or HSV-2
(HSV simplex virus-2). Midsection HSV is a common social disease; some 775,000
people in the United States acquire it every year.
This
form of HSV is almost always transmitted through sensual contact. It may be
spread from the midsection of an infected person coming in contact with those
of a non-infected partner. Similarly, it can be passed on if a non-infected
person performs oral sensual activity on the midsection of a person who is
infected, or it could be obtained through fastidious sensual activity as well.
Symptoms
There
are several symptoms that are classically associated with midsection HSV. The
most common are the male organ bumps, which in this case usually take the form
of blisters or lesions. These show up from 2 to 12 days after a person has
become infected with the HSV virus. When these blisters appear, a person is
said to have an “outbreak” of HSV. There usually is pain associated with the
blisters. Sometimes there may also be fever, headaches, body aches, or swollen
lymph nodes; these tend to be more pronounced during the first outbreak and
less intense during subsequent outbreaks. Some people state that they can tell
when a subsequent outbreak is coming because they experience pain in the
midsection, posterior, or legs.
However,
it is important to note that many people who become infected with HSV
experience absolutely no symptoms. Unfortunately, that does NOT mean that they
cannot pass the HSV virus on to someone else. And since they do not show any
symptoms, it means they can do so with neither partner having any knowledge
that the virus is being transmitted.
There
can be complications associated with HSV. For example, a woman who is pregnant
may pass HSV on to the child during childbirth, and this can lead to a
potentially deadly infection in the child. HSV can also be especially
problematic for a person with HIV.
Prevention
The
most effective way to avoid HSV is to be in a monogamous relationship in which
both partners tested negative for HSV. However, this situation is not easily
available for all people. Using latex protection when coupling helps
significantly, but it is not foolproof, especially if the virus is present on
areas not covered by the latex protection. Individuals who know they have HSV
should avoid sensual activity when an outbreak is present or if they suspect
one is imminent.
HSV
cannot be cured, but it can be managed. Suppressive medications can help to
reduce the number and/or severity of recurrent outbreaks.
Fortunately,
most male organ bumps are not caused by HSV – and many are helped by
maintaining proper male organ health. This is made easier by the regular use of
a first class male organ health creme (health professionals
recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which
is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Men should seek out crèmes
that can maintain appropriate manhood skin care, such as those that contain not
only a natural hydrator (vitamin E is one) but also a high-end emollient (such
as shea butter). In addition, male organ skin can be strengthened if the crème
contains a potent antioxidant, such as alpha lipoic acid, which can fight off
oxidative stress by attacking excess free radicals.
