Dealing with Male Organ Atrophy: Causes, Treatment, and Prevention

by John Dugan Owner

Male organ atrophy, two words no man wants to hear together. Unfortunately, it happens. Not completely sure what male organ atrophy is? Also known as male organ shrinkage, it's the decrease in the length and/or girth of the member caused by extensive loss of male organ tissue. This condition can be temporary, or in more severe cases, the tissue loss may be permanent. In either case, there are several ways to either reverse it (in the case of temporary atrophy) or to compensate. Let's get up-to-date on what can cause male organ shrinkage, as well as the potential treatments and how to protect against it.

Male Organ Atrophy Causes

There are several different causes of male organ atrophy. Here are a few of the most common:

1) More Candles on the Birthday Cake. As a man ages, his member can be the victim of many small sports- or romance-related injuries that cause an accumulation of scar tissue. This can affect the spongy reproductive tissue, eventually leading to male organ shrinkage.

2) Putting on the lbs. Weight gain, specifically around the stomach, can make the member appear smaller. This occurs because the member is attached to the abdominal wall, and when the stomach expands, it pulls the member inward, making it appear smaller.

3) Peyronie’s Disease. This is where fibrous scar tissue develops within the member, causing it to become curved during tumescence. This can be very painful for men. Peyronie’s can cause a reduction in both the length and girth of a man’s member.

4) Medication. Some meds can cause male organ shrinkage. They include but are not limited to certain antipsychotics and antidepressants, as well as medications that are prescribed for treating an enlarged prostate.

5) Smoking. Smoking injures blood vessels in the body, including those in the member. This can prevent the member from filling with blood to create rigidity, leading to a smaller appearance. Smoking also causes overall tissue loss, and men who can’t kick the habit may find that, over time, the length of their member may decrease by an inch or more.

Male organ Atrophy Treatments

No matter the cause of male organ atrophy, there’s a treatment that can help. Here are a few treatments and tips for reversing or lessening the effects of male organ shrinkage.

1) Lose Weight. Get down to a healthy weight with a sensible diet, regular exercise, and optimal sleep.

2) Quit Smoking. Men who quit smoking should stop (for many reasons), but especially to help out their fledgling members! Find a program, grab a patch, or quit cold turkey to get the blood flowing!

3) Male Enhancers. Pop the little blue tablet to boost blood flow and experience a stronger, firmer manhood. Heart patients should be careful when using performance enhancing meds. Always see a doctor for a script to confirm it’s a safe option and won’t interfere with other medications.

4) Surgery. For men with scar tissue or Peyronie’s Disease, there are surgical and ultrasound technology options to remove scar tissue. While shrinkage is permanent in this case, it can enhance feeling and sensual performance.

Preventing Male organ Atrophy

While age is inevitable, there are some ways to prevent male organ atrophy. Maintain a healthy weight and stay away from smoking. Also, be sure to have frequent relations to exercise the member and keep the blood vessels fit and primed for action. See a doctor regularly and don’t be shy about discussing any new member issues going on.

Be sure to keep the member clean and well moisturized as well. After cleansing the skin with a mild cleanser, rinsing, and drying gentle, use a specially formulated male organ health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) on the member. These crèmes contain vital nutrients and minerals for the member to not only keep skin supple but also strong and vital.
