Member Bumps and MRSA: Not a Good Combo
by John Dugan OwnerIn recent years, MRSA – known to doctors
as Methicllin resistant Staphylococcus aureus – has become an increasingly
serious problem. While not traditionally associated with threats to male organ health, it has become
more of a potential area of concern. While it is rare that presentation of
member bumps means the presence of MRSA, men should be aware of the possibility
of MRSA occurring on the member and know what to do if they suspect this is the
case.
Just
what is MRSA?
As
its name might imply, MRSA is an infection caused by a strain of bacteria that
is resistant to treatment by traditional antibiotics. This bacterium has come
into being due to overuse of antibiotics. For years, many people were
prescribed antibiotics for viral infections. These viruses weren’t affected by
the antibiotics, but unnecessary exposure to the antibiotics helped staph
bacteria to develop immunity to them.
Staph
bacteria tend to live on the skin or the nose; about 30-40% of people carry
them around. As long as they stay on the surface, they’re harmless. But when
they get inside the body, they can cause problems, sometimes severe ones, in
the blood, lungs, heart, joints or bones. In some instances, MRSA in the body
can prove fatal.
It
used to be that MRSA was an issue at nursing homes or hospitals, with the
bacteria entering the body through improperly sterilized equipment. However,
MRSA has become somewhat more common in what is referred to as a “community”
setting, where it gets passed from one person to another, usually by
skin-on-skin contact.
The
member bumps connection
MRSA
usually presents as swollen red bumps that can be tender or painful and may
look like pimples or insect bites.
When
they present as member bumps, they have most often entered the body through
cuts or nicks in the skin. So if a guy is manscaping and cuts himself with a
razor, if there are MRSA bacteria nearby, they can enter the body that way.
Sometimes it can also come about because of the manhood being rubbed raw from
overuse or through forgetting to use lubricant. Tiny cuts can develop through
which the bacteria can invade.
Some
doctors have reported cases where MRSA has been transmitted through sensual
contact, as well. It is unclear whether the bacteria can enter the body through
the male organ opening and travel through the urethra. However, it has been
documented as being passed on to a man who performed oral sensual activity on a
woman who was infected with MRSA.
Member
bumps can result from many causes other than MRSA. However, if a man has member
bumps that seem to have no explanation, he should consult with his doctor to
determine the cause. If MRSA is responsible, the doctor will begin treatment to
ensure no complications result.
Prevention
Preventing
MRSA is much better than treating it. Basic common hygiene practices, such as
washing hands regularly, keeping clothes, linens and towels clean, and
showering after physical activity can help. It’s also important to not share
personal grooming products (such as razors), towels or underwear. And when
wounds develop, they should be washed, sterilized and covered. Wearing latex
protections during sensual activity is also advised.
Clearly,
not every case of member bumps is a sign of MRSA. Sometimes those bumps signify
irritated manhood skin, which may respond to regular use of a high
level male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1
Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Strong
male organ skin needs help in resisting free radicals and the oxidative stress
they cause, and that’s why the crème needs to have a potent antioxidant like
alpha lipoic acid. Male organ skin also needs to have sufficient elasticity to
fulfill its functions, so the crème should include vitamin C, which helps
produce the collagen that contributes to proper elasticity.
