Male Organ Health and Lupus: Is There a Connection? The Research Says Yes
by John Dugan OwnerLupus is an autoimmune disorder that most people think affects
only women. In fact, while about 90% of people with lupus are women, some
150,000 men in America are diagnosed with lupus. Thus, it’s important that men
know something about this disorder – both in terms of how it could affect a
man’s health in general and his male organ health in particular.
About
lupus
As
stated, lupus is an autoimmune disorder, which means that it comes about when a
person’s immune system mistakenly believes that some part or parts of its own
body is an “enemy” and so attacks. Diagnosing lupus can be a challenge because
many of its symptoms are similar to those created by other conditions. The most
distinctive symptom associated with lupus is a butterfly-shaped rash that
typically appears across the cheeks and nose. But not eveyr person with lupus
has this rash.
Other
symptoms associated with lupus include:
Rashes
on the body other than on the face. These can include skin lesions that get
worse when exposed to sunlight.
-
Feeling tired.
-
Having a fever.
-
Shortness of breath.
-
Pain and/or swelling in the joints.
-
Dry eyes.
-
Chest pain.
-
Headaches.
-
Fingers or toes turning white or blue.
-
Confusion and memory issues.
There
are many serious complications associated with lupus, including damage to the
kidneys, brain, central nervous system, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and bone
tissue. Every person’s lupus is different, and the severity can vary greatly;
some people may have many symptoms and/or complications, while others may have
few or none.
Male
organ health effects
How
might lupus affect a man’s male organ health? There are several ways in which
the member might potentially be impacted.
- Tumescence
issues. Many men with lupus have no problem with attaining a solid
tumescence, but some do. This can be due to any of several causes. One is the
fact that some medications used to treat lupus have the potential to cause tumescence
dysfunction in some men. Additionally, peripheral neuropathy can create pain
that flares up in such a way as to interfere with the tumescence process. And
finally, lupus can at times cause blood vessels to narrow; if this happens in
male organ blood vessels, it can interfere with the necessary flow of blood to
the member to make a tumescence.
- Fatigue. An
intense feeling of being tired may occur when lupus flares up. This can have an
impact on a man’s sensual drive. Making it less likely for him to be “in the
mood” as frequently as he would be otherwise.
- Male
organ rash. As mentioned, rashes and skin lesions may occur anywhere
on the body during a flare-up, and that includes the manhood. When a severe
rash or outbreak of lesions is present, it can make a man feel hesitant about
revealing his member to a partner. In addition, there can be some pain or
tenderness accompanied by the lesions, making sensual contact less appealing.
- Self-esteem. Sometimes
the physical manifestations of lupus can bring about mental health issues which
can lower a man’s self-esteem or cause depression. These include the
possibility that lupus may be accompanied by some degree of hair loss. This can
also play a role in dampening a man’s sensual drive.
It’s
important that a man with lupus is diagnosed correctly and receives treatment
from a qualified professional. Men who believe that they may have lupus should
consult with their doctor as soon as possible.
Since
lupus can affect male organ health, men need to take steps to ensure that
health is in its prime. One step along this path is the daily use of a
superior male
organ health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man
Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). The best cremes
should contain a variety of manhood-related vitamins, such as A, B5, C, D and
E. In addition, a crème with a high end moisturizing agent, such as shea
butter, can help soothe irritated skin, especially when a rash is causing
discomfort.
