How the Thyroid Affects Male Organ Health
by John Dugan OwnerFor
most men, maintaining an appropriate level of both male organ health and
overall physical health is a worthy goal. And since overall health often has a
significant impact on specific male organ health, that desire to achieve in
both areas is a good one. Sometimes even a tiny part of the body can have an
impact on the manhood. Take, for example, the thyroid gland.
The
thyroid
Shaped
like a butterfly or a bow tie, the thyroid gland is located right at the front
of the neck. It’s made up of two little structures (referred to as lobes) that
are connected by a thinner structure that’s often called an isthmus. It’s
not very big, weighing only about 5/100 of a pound (less than an ounce) and measuring
a few inches long. (It is somewhat bigger in women, especially when they’re
pregnant.)
The
thyroid is part of the endocrine system, which means that it’s involved in
getting hormones where they need to go. A lot of the thyroid hormones are
involved in metabolism, so they help determine how fast or slow things work in
your body. This effect is felt throughout the body, including in how fast
or slow your heart beats, how easily you gain or lose weight, how hot or cold
you feel, etc.
Thyroid
issues
Typically,
there are two kinds of thyroid issues: hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.
Although they sound very similar, they actually are opposites. Hyperthyroidism
refers to a thyroid that operates at too high a level; hypothyroidism refers to
one that operates at too low a level. In the first case, the body works too
hard; in the second, it isn’t able to work hard enough.
The
thyroid and the male organ
So
how does all this affect male organ health? It can have an impact on
reproductive function.
In
hypothyroidism, this seems to make some sense. The body feels sluggish when it
has hypothyroidism, and that sluggishness would also lower a man’s drive,
making reproductive function problematic.
But
it’s also an issue with hyperthyroidism. A 2012 study looked specifically at
hyperthyroidism and confirmed its connection to male dysfunction. In this
study, men with hyperthyroidism were 14 times more likely to have such issues
compared to “typical” men.
An
earlier 2008 study found that men with either condition also had other male
organ health issues, including an increased likelihood of early on release and
low drive (Interestingly, some men in this group also had a problem with
delayed release).
Treatment
Men
with thyroid issues shouldn’t despair, however; most men respond favorably to
treatment, and often the male organ health issues related to thyroid problems
are resolved when the thyroid gets back to working “normally.” Of
course, sometimes patience is required, as the treatment does not always
produce results overnight. Treatment typically involves medication. In some
instances, especially with hyperthyroidism, it may involve surgery. After
an examination and tests, a doctor can determine the best course of action to
take.
Keeping
the thyroid healthy is good common sense, as is keeping the member similarly
healthy. Regular application of a top notch male organ health creme (health
professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe
for skin) is advised for all men. When searching for the right
crème, select one that includes both L arginine and L carnitine. The former is
an amino acid involved in the process by which nitric oxide is created and
released in the body, which in turn affects how the blood vessels open for an
influx of blood during arousal. And L carnitine is a neuroprotective ingredient
adept at protecting against peripheral nerve damage to the manhood due to rough
handling, which can in turn lessen sensitivity to stimulation.
