Male Organ Pain Due to Urinary Stones - Steps for Relief
As any man who has passed them can attest, urinary stones can
cause significant discomfort, including substantial male organ pain. While the
pain from urinary stones is typically more severe in other parts of the urinary
tract, the pain in the manhood itself can be of concern. Practicing proper male organ care is essential for dealing with such
soreness in the member.
What
causes it?
Urinary stones, frequently called kidney
stones or bladder stones, form in the urinary tract when certain conditions are
present. Essentially, stones are formed from an overabundance of one or more
minerals.
The most common culprit in urinary stone
formation is calcium, but there are other substances – such as uric acid,
magnesium or phosphate – that can be involved in stone formation. Excess
minerals may clump together to create small crystals. These are generally
passed through the system with little or no discomfort. However, when the
crystals reach a certain size and mass, they are classified as stones and have
the potential to create severe pain.
Risk
factors
Some people are more likely than others
to get urinary stones, including:
- Those who are dehydrated
- People whose diets include too much
animal protein and/or vitamin C
- Individuals with family members who
have a history of stones
- Some people who have had surgery to
help them lose weight
Pain
Where a stone lodges can determine what
kind of pain it causes. (Of course, some stones are small and pass through the
system unnoticed, causing little or no discomfort.) When in the bladder, the
pain is most often in the stomach area. When the stone is in the kidneys, pain
is often in the back but in some cases can spread all across the entire stomach
area and into the male organ area. And when the stone is in the urethra, it can
cause a high level of male organ pain.
In addition, some stones cause other
symptoms, including nausea, sweating, blood in the urine, a burning sensation
in the urinary tract, chills, fever and/or frequent urination.
Prevention
Preventing stones is an excellent idea.
(Who likes pain, after all?) One of the best ways to do this is by drinking
plenty of water: 8 to 10 glasses each day. Dietary changes (depending on
the kind of stone to which a person may be prone) can also help, as can taking
certain drugs that reduce the conditions under which stones may form.
Treatment
In most cases, a person simply must wait
for the stone to pass and take pain relievers to help lessen the intensity of
discomfort. In persistent cases, the stone may be broken up (by means of sound
waves) or surgically removed; however, the latter is rarely done.
Relief
While waiting for a stone to pass, a
person should be kept as comfortable as possible. Depending on where the pain
is, that may mean lying in various positions. Using pillows to proper up
appropriate parts of the body may help. Sometimes, placing an ice pack covered
in cloth against the area can help relieve soreness. Staying hydrated is also
very much recommended.
After the stone has passed, affected
body parts may be tender. Male organ pain caused by urinary stones may linger.
This is an excellent time to begin using a quality male organ health crème (health
professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). The sore manhood responds very
well to a crème that includes a combination of a high-end emollient (such as
Shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E). This combination
moisturizes as it soothes. It's also helpful to apply a crème that includes
L-arginine. This ingredient boosts nitric oxide production, which in turn helps
keep member blood vessels open. The proper flow of blood throughout the organ
can help to provide oxygen, which in turn benefits the sore tool.
