While most men are not comfortable talking to their doctor about problems related to the manhood, failure to deal with problems related to male organ appearance and function can significantly impair a man’s quality of life. Issues such as male organ atrophy and loss of function can affect a man’s self-esteem, as well as causing problems such as depression and anxiety.

By understanding the potential problems that may develop, men can tackle issues like these head-on, significantly improving male function and appearance and boosting their overall well-being.

What is male organ atrophy?

The manhood often changes in size and shape due to environmental factors such as heat and cold, not to mention stimulation. These changes are normal and do not affect the overall size of the manhood. In addition, the accumulation or redistribution of body fat can make the manhood appear smaller than normal, although there may be no change in its actual size.

On the other hand, male organ atrophy refers to actual reduction of manhood tissue; atrophy of the manhood may also affect its ability to function normally. Atrophy is generally a condition of older age; men over the age of 60 are more likely to experience shrinkage. However, in certain cases, younger men may also notice a long-term change in the size and shape of their manhood.

What causes manhood shrinkage?

Male organ atrophy may be caused by a number of factors:

·        Reduced blood flow – A reduction in blood flow to the male organ tissue can eventually cause a reduction in size. Health problems such as atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and even poor circulation caused by tight clothing or excessive body weight can deprive the manhood of the blood it needs to nourish the male organ tissue. Men with circulatory problems may also experience a loss of male function, as the blood that is needed to flood the male organ chambers is not adequate.

·        Low male hormone – Men who have significantly reduced male hormone levels may have accompanying shrinkage of the manhood; when low male hormone is to blame, men also may notice a reduction in size of the reproductive sack. Male hormone levels may drop as a result of aging, as well as systemic disease and chemotherapy or radiation therapy, particularly when used for treating prostate cancer.

·        Connective tissue problems – Problems such as Peyronie’s disease which affect the connective tissue of the manhood may cause an overall loss in size, as well as extreme bending or curving of the manhood and loss of male function.

Treating male organ tissue loss

Treating loss of manhood size depends on the underlying cause; men who are experiencing tissue loss are urged to talk to their doctors in order to get to the source of the problem. In the case of reduced blood flow, lifestyle changes such as losing weight, eating healthy, and taking medications for cardiovascular disease may help to restore depleted tissue. Men with low male hormone may opt for hormone therapy, although there are considerable side effects that should be weighed in this case. There are also numerous options for treating problems related to the connective tissue. In some cases, men have experienced considerable improvement from treatment with vitamin E, while in others, surgical repair or implants may be recommended.

Nourishing the manhood from the outside in

Along with any medical procedures and/or lifestyle changes suggested for dealing with male organ atrophy, a male organ nutrient creme (most health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) may provide additional benefits. Applying a nourishing vitamin formula targeting manhood health may help to support healthy tissue growth and regeneration. By including a health cream as part of the daily manhood care regimen, men can receive the full advantages of important nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E, D, and B, as well as tissue-building amino acids, antioxidants and moisturizers.
