Uncommon Male Organ Problems: When Tumescence Causes Pain
by John Dugan OwnerMen
who have heard of priapism but have never endured it may find more likely to
inspire snickering than empathy. But the fact is that priapism is a one of the
more serious male organ health problems and one that needs to be treated
promptly when it occurs.
Back
to the Greeks
Priapism
refers to a condition in which the member is kept in a persistent and
frequently painful state of rigitdity for an extended period of time –
typically four hours or more. The name is a reference to Priapus (or Priapos),
a minor god in Greek mythology. As is fitting for a god whose domain was
reproductive health, Priapus was always depicted with a monstrously large
member – and one that was always fully at attention and ready to function.
That’s
all well and good for a god, but it’s not as much fun as it sounds for a human male.
Despite most men’s desire to always be “ready to go,” the fact is that the
manhood isn’t built to maintain a total engorgement for extended times. Even
men who “edge” when they self-gratify – that is, pleasure until they almost
come, then stop to let the urge to subside, then go again, sometimes repeating
for hours – don’t maintain a constant, full state of rigidity during their
playtime.
What
happens?
So,
what happens when a man is struck with priapism? Basically, it depends on
whether the priapism is considered ischemic or non-ischemic.
In
ischemic priapism, blood flows into the member, fills the spongy tissue in the
organ and causes it to become hard – but then the blood is unable to get out of
the member and allow it to “deflate.” This is the more common form of priapism.
A member suffering from ischemic priapism typically has a very rigid shaft but
a head that is on the soft side. It is also quite painful.
With
non-ischemic priapism, trauma to the member ruptures an artery or vessel, which
allows a high flow of blood into the member, but it does not remain trapped
there in the same way as with ischemic priapism. The manhood with the
non-ischemic form tends to be not as fully rigid and are generally not painful.
Seek
help
In
either case, medical attention is advised; although non-ischemic priapism
frequently resolves on its own, if it continues for too long a time, it can
cause damage. The damage from prolonged ischemic priapism is generally more
severe. With the blood trapped in the member, the tissue loses oxygen and can
be damaged or even die. Although there are no hard and fast rules, a general
rule of thumb is that the longer a priapic episode lasts, the greater the
chances of male dysfunction.
While
non-ischemic priapism is typically caused by manhood trauma, there can be
several causes for ischemic priapism. Men with sickle cell anemia are
disproportionately prone to it, as the sickle shape of the cells may cause the
blockage of blood in the member. Other blood disorders, such as leukemia or thalassemia,
have also been associated with the condition. In addition, a wide range of
mediations, alcohol and tablet abuse and spinal cord injuries have been
associated with an increased risk as well. Whatever the cause, seeking
treatment is essential.
Priapism
produces its own brand of manhood pain, but more typical manhood soreness often
responds to application of a superior male
organ health creme (health professionals recommend Man1 Man
Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Rich,
soothing Shea butter and moisturizing vitamin E work well together to
rejuvenate the skin and ease pain. It also helps when the crème contains
vitamin C, an important component of collagen, which enhances suppleness and
flexibility of the skin.
