Most men go to great lengths to protect their nether regions -- and for good reason; a shot to the family jewels is not only extremely painful, it can cause long-term damage to the area. Though the male organ is made of tissue and cannot technically be broken in the same way as a bone, trauma to the manhood can result in scarring, which in turn may result in bending or curvature of the male organ. This condition is characterized by a plaque build-up, or hard lump, that develops in the tissue of the male organ. While less noticeable in a soft male organ, the condition rears its ugly head when it is firm, leading the male organ to bend or arc. The condition can cause pain, make physical relations difficult and damage the self-esteem or self-confidence of the man suffering through it. Severe bending or curving of the male organ that interferes with the ability to engage in relations is known as Peyronie’s disease. Proper male organ care may lessen the chance that Peyronie’s disease will occur and should be undertaken as part of a healthy lifestyle. What is Peyronie’s disease? In individuals who have experienced injury or trauma to the male organ, a plaque build-up, or scar tissue, may occur on the top, bottom, or side of the male organ, inside the tunica albuginea, a thick membrane which encircles the inner tissue. This scar tissue then pulls at the tissue of the male organ, causing a bend in the firm male organ. Plaque on the top of the shaft is the most common and causes an upward bend; whereas plaque on the underside causes a downward bend. The plaque can also appear on the sides, causing the male organ to bend to the right or left. Peyronie’s can gradually develop over time, as the plaque slowly builds, or may occur overnight, much to the surprise of the individual. Peyronie’s is not a contagious disease, nor is it cancerous or a tumor. It is more common in men ages 40 to 70, but it can also occur in teenaged boys and younger men. What Causes Peyronie’s? While research into this condition is ongoing, it is most commonly agreed by researchers that Peyronie’s is the result of trauma to the male organ. Hitting or bending the male organ -- most often during coupling -- can cause internal bleeding of the male organ. This type of injury is common during rough play and can sometimes occur without the individual being aware the trauma occurred; at other times, the injury is very obvious and immediately painful. An aging male organ may be more susceptible to Peyronie’s on account of the reduced elasticity of the male organ, increasing the likelihood of rupturing the small blood vessels within the shaft. Peyronie’s has also been found to develop very slowly, with no known traumatic event, leading some researchers to theorize that it is an autoimmune disorder or a genetic condition, as there does appear to be a hereditary component. Treatment of Peyronie’s Men suffering from Peyronie’s often do not seek medical attention until they have reached a point of painful tumescence or difficulty physically engaging in relations due to manhood deformity. Surgery may be required in severe cases in which the angle of the male organ actually makes coupling impossible. Surgery may involve removing the plaque area from the male organ or implanting a device to help straighten the male organ and increase rigidity. Research into medical treatment for Peyronie’s is ongoing, with some studies utilizing oral medications, vitamin therapies, injections and radiation therapy. Prevention is, of course, the best option whenever possible. Maintaining proper blood flow to the male organ keeps the cells healthy and functioning, which may reduce the tendency for scar tissue to form. Being careful during relations and avoiding any sudden quick movements or changes in direction, which could injure the male organ, may prevent rupture of the blood vessels that eventually contribute to plaque buildup. Using proper athletic gear during contact sports or activities also helps keep the member safe from injury and should be worn whenever the risk of male organ injury is high. A high-quality male organ health formula (most experts recommend Man 1 Man Oil) will contribute to the overall health and functioning of the male organ and may help prevent or reduce the presence of scar tissue. A specific combination of vitamins and nutrients can help increase blood flow to the area, leading to a rejuvenated and healthy manhood.
