For most intact men, the sheath is a great addition to their equipment, but a small percentage experience sheath pain caused by the condition known as phimosis. For those so afflicted, extra steps need to be taken to ensure maximum male organ health and a more enjoyable sensual experience. What is phimosis? In most men, the sheath is easily able to retract over the head of the male organ once they reach a certain degree of maturity; certainly by adulthood, and most often during puberty. However, male babies are born with the sheath in a naturally non-retractable state. This non-retractable state is to ensure proper health and safety for the head as it develops. When a man has phimosis, however, the sheath is too tight and doesn’t begin to retract as he reaches maturity. This can cause significant male organ pain, especially during intimate activity. What causes it? Sometimes the sheath becomes too tight because the head gets swollen, due to balinitis or another form of inflammation. Diabetics may experience the disorder (especially if the diabetes is undetected or untreated) due to a build-up of sugar in the urine. It’s also possible that injuries to the male organ, due to unusual or aggressive intimate activity may cause phimosis by creating an unwelcome layer of scar tissue; however, many men engage in physically challenging intimate exercises without causing this issue, so pinpointing when, why and how this activity causes phimosis is next to impossible. Scar tissue can also develop from aggressively pulling back the sheath. Some doctors also believe that phimosis may result from the head having an allergic reaction to certain chemicals, especially in the soap or laundry detergent that a man uses. Similarly, yeast infections, if left untreated for too long, can bring about a swollen head and the resulting phimosis. Finally, as in so many things, there may be a genetic component to this sheath disorder. Easing the pain There are several options for treating this condition: 1. Stretching the sheath is recommended as a primary method of dealing with phimosis. This involves lubricating the sheath and gently stretching it open. The goal is not to force the head out immediately, but to over time create a more flexible sheath opening. 2. The use of topical creams is very common in treating phimosis. Often a doctor will recommend that a common steroid cream be used. 3. In addition, doctors seek to treat the underlying condition that is causing the head to swell to such an extent. Anti-fungal creams and anti-bacterial medicines may be employed for this purpose, as well as antibiotics if an STD is present and contributing to the issue. Hopefully, the doctor can pinpoint what has caused this inflammation and recommend steps to prevent its recurrence. 4. In extreme cases, surgery may be necessary to "open up" the sheath and let the head through; however, this is necessary only in rare cases. While treatment is ongoing, many men find it best to avoid intimate activity; the hard male organ can be in significant pain during extreme phimosis, both from the tightness of the sheath and from soreness caused by the rubbing of the inflamed head during intimate activity. The male organ pain caused by phimosis is not something that a man should endure; fortunately, afflicted men can get some relief from the discomfort and soreness through the use of a superior male organ health cream (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil). Men should make sure that the chosen cream includes vitamin A, as it has anti-bacterial qualities that can help to fight the cause of infection or inflammation in many instances. At the same time, a cream that provides proper hydration through ingredients such as vitamin E and shea butter is recommended; the moisturizing not only soothes the male organ but helps to make the sheath more hospitable to retraction efforts.
