Men
who develop male organ cuts or tears in the sheath are understandably concerned
about their cause, especially when they seem to appear out of nowhere, or
overnight. While it may often make sense to assume the worst about a recent
partner, in most cases, these tears and fissures have a fairly innocent cause.
A red male organ that has a sore, cracked or raw appearance may be healed by
following a few simple male organ care pointers.
Where
do male organ cuts come from?
Many
men who experience tears or cuts in their male organ skin find that they appear
quite suddenly, without any obvious cause. Often, they occur in the hours after
intimacy or self-pleasuring, even when no rough play or aggressive handling
took place.
The
appearance of a red male organ, as well as swelling and a whitish, paste-like
substance often accompany the cuts. In most cases, the explanation for these
symptoms is simply a Candida yeast overgrowth. Yeast infection is common in
men, as well as women, and the tears may be one of the first symptoms to
appear.
Is
it a communicable disease?
Short
answer: No. Long answer: Well, a yeast infection can be transferred by intimate
contact, but it is not a communicable disease per se. Yeast infections can also
develop without any intimate contact at all; the warm, moist environment of the
pelvic area is highly conducive to yeast overgrowth. With that said, any person
who develops a yeast infection should alert his/her intimate partner so that
both members of the couple can be treated; otherwise, they run the risk of
re-infecting one another repeatedly.
How
are male organ cuts treated? Is professional medical care needed?
Men
who are experiencing this problem for the first time are advised to seek
professional medical treatment to rule out any other potential causes aside
from yeast infection. In most cases, doctors can diagnose a yeast infection on
sight, or using a simple swab test. Men who often develop yeast infections
should also see their doctor, because an underlying health issue such as
diabetes may play a role.
The
conventional treatment for yeast infection is to apply an antifungal cream to
the area. These can be purchased without a prescription; patients should take
care to use the cream for the full recommended time period, as yeast infections
can be stubborn and tend to recur if they are not fully eradicated.
Is
there any way to prevent them from coming back?
While
there is no magic formula that can guarantee to keep away unpleasant male organ
problems like yeast infection, dryness, redness and/or chafing, men can greatly
reduce their chances of running into problems like this by taking some
precautionary measures:
