Can Tumescence Dysfunction Really Be Due to a Cat Scratch?
One of the major reasons a man devotes
time and attention to proper male
organ care is to reduce the likelihood of tumescence dysfunction.
Since sensual pleasure and satisfaction tend to revolve around the ability of
the member to attain and maintain a tumescent state, it’s understandable that
tumescence dysfunction avoidance is uppermost in a man’s mind. Recently, the
internet has been abuzz with a rumor that cat scratches can make a guy unable
to get it up. Is this just a rumor, or is there truth in this claim?
The
facts
Although
the claim sounds kind of far-fetched, it actually is true: science has recorded
at least one incidence in which a man experienced tumescence dysfunction as a
result of being scratched by a cat. However, that doesn’t mean every guy who
gets nipped by a tabby needs to worry about whether he will be able to rise to
the occasion when in bed.
The
case in question involved a 23-year-old man who went to the emergency room
because he had been experiencing fever, chills and sweating for several days.
In addition, he had lost more than 20 pounds over about a six-month period, and
was suffering from pains in his back, pelvis, manhood glands and sacks, as well
as swollen lymph nodes. And yes, he reported that he had been having
significant trouble in the tumescence department as well.
The
doctors of course tested him for obvious culprits, such as socially shared
infections, but those tests came back negative. He also (fortunately) was not
suffering due to lymphoma, which often presents with many of the symptoms he
had listed.
The
cat connection
However,
the doctors did note the presence of a kind of bacteria known as Bartonella
henselae. This is the bacteria responsible for cat scratch disease. Many men
are familiar with the phrase “cat scratch fever” because of the classic Ted
Nugent song – but not many people know anything about the actual sickness.
Having thus made this diagnosis, the doctors were able to prescribe an
appropriate antibiotic treatment, and in about three weeks, the patient had
made a decisive recovery.
So
yes, a cat did cause this man’s tumescence dysfunction, but it’s important to
know that this is an extremely rare result. In the first place, most cats do
not carry the bacteria in question. In the second, even when they do, not
everyone who gets scratched develops a sickness. And even when they do get
sick, there can be a huge variation in how severe it is.
This
unfortunate gentleman just suffered an extreme reaction to the bacteria. In his
case, the bacteria caused nerve damage in the manhood, making it difficult for
those nerves to send and receive the signals needed for the tumescence process
to function properly. In the overwhelming majority of cases of cat scratch, the
member is unaffected. (If the scratch is directly on the member, of course,
there will be definite manhood pain and discomfort, but hopefully no
bacteria-related nerve damage and subsequent tumescence dysfunction.)
Care
So
what should a guy do if he is scratched by a cat? Most doctors recommend
cleaning it with soap and water and perhaps applying a mild disinfectant. But
if he does develop symptoms, such as swollen lymph nodes, seeing a doctor is
advised.
Tumescence
dysfunction due to a cat scratch is very rare, but it always pays to keep the
manhood in its bets possible health – and regular application of a top
notch male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1
Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) can
help in this regard. Look for a crème with both L-arginine and L carnitine. The
latter is an aid in the process whereby male organ blood vessels remain
receptive to increased blood volume. The latter is a neuroprotective ingredient
that can help protect against diminished sensation due to overuse or aggressive
use.
