A Sore Manhood After Intimacy is Just One Sign of Phimosis
by John Dugan OwnerWhen a man has a sore manhood after intimacy, or suffers from
member irritation anytime he tries to clean underneath the prepuce, he might
have something known as phimosis. Phimosis is a condition in which a man will
have difficulty pulling the prepuce of the member back from the head. In some
cases, phimosis can be severe, with the prepuce so tight that it causes pain to
even become hard. In other cases, it might be mild enough that a man can deal
with it, but he’s left with that sore, painful feeling after intimacy and
irritation at other times, too.
Understanding what phimosis
is can help a man determine what to do about it.
What is Phimosis?
When the prepuce is too
tight to be pulled back over the head of the member – or when pulling it back
causes discomfort or even intense pain – that’s phimosis. Sometimes it can come
along with other conditions that make the situation worse, such as
inflammation, scarring, itching or bleeding. It might also lead to issues with
hygiene, as smegma can build up underneath the prepuce, leading to infections
and member irritation.
To make matters worse,
phimosis can occasionally lead to paraphimosis. That’s when the prepuce is
pulled back behind the head, but is so tight that it gets stuck there. A
situation like this calls for immediate medical attention.
What Causes Phimosis?
There are two types of
phimosis; pathological and congenital.
Pathological phimosis
happens when a medical condition occurs that affects the member, such as
inflammation or infection. It can also result from trauma to the member,
especially that which ends up leaving scar tissue. This type of phimosis can be
tough to treat, and might require surgery to fix.
Congenital phimosis occurs
when a man has a naturally tight prepuce that stays that way as he ages. This
type of phimosis can be treated in a variety of ways, and many non-surgical
methods are successful.
How to Treat Phimosis
When it comes to treating
phimosis, there are three primary ways to remedy the situation:
- Medication. Though
it’s a newer possibility, medication for phimosis has begun to gain some
traction. The tablets betamethasone and hyaluronidase have been found to loosen
the skin of about 54% of those who use a combination of the two, and the
medications are considered safe for all ages who might suffer from phimosis.
- Manual
therapy. Before going the surgery route, many doctors will recommend
manual therapy for stretching the prepuce and thus easing the pain and problems
associated with phimosis. In some cases, self-pleasuring can be used to achieve
this goal, by routinely moving the prepuce up and down while using plenty of creme
in an effort to gradually loosen the skin. Another option is gentle manual
stretching with a balloon catheter, or a smooth Q-tip type of device that
gently moves underneath the prepuce and allows for gradual stretching. This
treatment can take several months for a man to see results.
- Circumcision. As
a final approach to phimosis, circumcision is the surgical procedure that
removes the prepuce either completely or partially. A total circumcision
removes the prepuce completely; a partial circumcision might consist of
several incisions that allow the prepuce to heal with
a broader space between the head and the prepuce.
Use a Good Member
Health Creme
When a man suffers from
member irritation or a sore manhood after intimacy, whether he suffers from
phimosis or not, it pays to reach for a high-quality member health creme (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil,
which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin). A good crème
should contain things like Shea butter, which is great for keeping skin smooth
and supple, as well as vitamin E, an antioxidant that can help with healing; it
can also help reduce the appearance and toughness of scars. Vitamin A is also a
great ingredient, as it helps with repairing damaged cells.
