Unfortunately, Diabetes May Cause Male Organ Rash
by John Dugan OwnerMost people are at least somewhat familiar with diabetes, but many
know nothing more of it than it is a condition in which the body has difficulty
processing sugar. In men, it can sometimes create some male organ health
issues, most often by the development of a male organ rash which may come with
consequent itching (often to an annoying degree.)
About diabetes
As the Mayo Clinic puts it, diabetes “refers to a group of
diseases that affect how your body uses blood sugar (glucose).” Since glucose
provides energy for the body’s cells, including the brain’s, it’s crucial that
diabetes be managed so that the glucose gets used in the appropriate manner.
There are several different types of diabetes, but all of them have to do with
blood sugar and with insulin, which is part of the process by which the body
regulates glucose.
Diabetes is a very common problem. The National Institute of
Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) says that more than 9% of
the people in the United States have some form of diabetes – but almost a
quarter of them are unaware that they have this disease.
Common symptoms associated with diabetes are increased thirst and
hunger; a need to urinate frequently and sometimes urgently; irritability and
fatigue; blurry vision; wounds and sores that are slow to heal;
frequent infections; and the presence in the urine of ketones (which indicates
a lack of insulin in the body.)
Anyone who suspects that they might have diabetes should consult
with a doctor. If diabetes is present, the earlier the diagnosis, the sooner
treatments can begin.
Why a male organ rash?
Men with diabetes may develop a male organ rash either as a result
of their diabetes or as a result of medications used to help treat diabetes.
At least two medications, dapaglifozin and empaglifozin, might be
responsible for a male organ rash. These medications can help
some people with type II diabetes lower than blood sugar. Often the
male organ rash they cause is a yeast infection commonly called thrush.
But thrush can also be common among diabetics who don’t take these
particular medications. But in this case, the condition is usually once again
thrush.
As mentioned, thrush is a yeast condition. Like bacteria, yeast
tend to thrive in conditions that are moist, warm and dark- which is just about
as apt a description of a man’s crotch as one could ask for. What happens is
this: the medications mentioned above help remove sugar into the urine. Even
without medication, many diabetic men have excess blood sugar traveling
throughout their bodies, much of which will eventually end up in the urine.
When a man urinates, some of that excess sugar will get displaced
onto the manhood, where it will dry there. Then the sugar, in the warm, moist,
dark of the crotch, will take hold and grow, developing eventually into a yeast
infection and presenting as a male organ rash. (Sometimes bacteria will build
up in the area instead of yeast.)
Thrush typically presents as a blotchy red rash with some white
patches or as a dull red “glaze” on the member; it is most often
found around the upper shaft and the head of the manhood.
Treatment
Antifungal medications, either in topical or oral form, are most
often used to treat thrush. In mild cases, washing and paying proper attention
to hygiene may be all the treatment that is needed.
Male organ rash, whether from diabetes or other causes, usually
reacts to daily application of an excellent male organ health oil (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man
Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). When
the oil contains a combination of superior moisturizing agents, such as shea
butter and vitamin E, the male organ rash usually itches much less and may also
go away more quickly. It also is good to select an oil with alpha lipoic acid,
a potent antioxidant that helps prevent damaging oxidative stress to the skin.
