Sometimes Male Organ Pain May Suggest Reiter’s Syndrome
by John Dugan OwnerThe body is a marvelous creation, and one the complexity of which
is often taken for granted. One reason that physicians may have difficulty
initially diagnosing a medical problem is because one symptom can be common to
so many different conditions – and often the symptom doesn’t directly
correspond to the characteristics of the condition. That’s why sometimes a male
organ health issue, such as simple male organ pain, can indicate a problem
seemingly unrelated to male organ health. This is essentially the case with
male organ pain as a possible prognosticator of a condition known as Reiter’s
syndrome.
Reiter’s syndrome
More commonly known as reactive arthritis, Reiter’s syndrome
causes painful swelling in the joints, usually the knees and ankles, although
other joints may also be affected. In addition, there may also be an infection
of the eyes that accompanies Reiter’s syndrome.
Often, however, before the joint pain starts and continuing
throughout the time the condition is noticeable, a man with Reiter’s syndrome
will experience male organ pain. Indeed, some think that an infection in the
member, or in some other part of the body, is what is ultimately responsible
for the painful arthritic characteristics. (The fact that the arthritis occurs
in reaction to an infection not located in the joints is why it is sometimes
referred to as reactive arthritis.) In most cases, the male organ pain is not
ongoing but sporadic, occurring usually during urination and/or seed release.
Beyond the male organ pain, the prostate is also sometimes
affected. This can in turn bring about chills and fever in some men. Finally,
there can sometimes be skin rashes that eventually develop, sometimes occurring
on the head of the member.
Causes
But what causes the infection that ultimately brings about joint
pain and swelling? There can be a number of causes. Frequently, Reiter’s
syndrome has been associated with salmonella, or more accurately, with the
bacteria that causes salmonella. Other bacteria that cause other forms of food
poisoning also have been implicated in the male organ pain that can precede
Reiter’s syndrome.
There also can be a sensual component to the infection. Chlamydia,
a social disease, can sometimes cause the infection, and this again can sometimes
lead to cases of the arthritic syndrome. Men with HIV are also more prone to
developing Reiter’s.
But there appears to be a strong genetic component as well. About
four-fifths of cases of Reiter’s syndrome occur in people with a specific
genetic type (known as HLA-B27). The genetic type does not cause the condition,
but it does make it much more likely that someone who is exposed to the
bacteria associated with Reiter’s will develop the condition.
Treatment
So how is Reiter’s syndrome treated? Assuming that the infection
that provoked the condition still persists, it is likely that the doctor will
prescribe antibiotic treatment. The arthritic issues are likely to be dealt
with via a number of possible options, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
medications, corticosteroids, topical steroids (for skin conditions), and/or
rheumatoid arthritis medications. If the arthritis has been long lasting or
severe, then physical therapy may be needed to get the body back into proper
shape.
In terms of prevention, wearing latex protection to help prevent
the spread of chlamydia and storing food at appropriate temperatures and
cooking it thoroughly can help reduce the risk of infection that can lead to
Reiter’s syndrome.
Male organ pain from Reiter’s syndrome might be more easily
managed if male organ health is maintained at a high level. This can be aided
by the daily application of a superior male organ health
oil (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven
mild and safe for skin). The best oils are those that include the full
range of necessary vitamins, including A, B5, C, D, and E. In
addition, look for an oil with L-arginine, an amino acid that helps produce
nitric oxide. This in turn allows male organ blood vessels to expand and remain
open when needed.
