Aside from a small percentage of men, most guys would rather not spend a great deal of time on grooming and self-care. But while guys do not generally give the same attention to skin care as their female counterparts, penis care should be part of the daily personal hygiene regimen. The penis is a delicate instrument, and lack of attention to cleaning and maintaining the penis skin can lead to numerous conditions that can cause discomfort, foul odors, loss of sensitivity, and even erectile dysfunction. Treating the penile skin with a combination of penis-specific vitamins and minerals may help to maintain optimum penis health. In addition, men should be aware of the following penis problems that may result from lack of adequate care.
Loss of sensitivity
Reduced penis sensation is one of the most common concerns when it comes to men’s health. Polls have shown that at least 87% of all men report diminished sensitivity in the shaft and head of the penis by age 39. Loss of sensitivity is often the result of skin and nerve damage caused by dry masturbation or aggressive sex. Keeping the skin hydrated with a high-quality moisturizer such as vitamin E and providing adequate vitamin and mineral support for repairing damaged tissue is essential to retaining or restoring sufficient penis sensation.
Poor circulation
Men who wear restrictive clothing, are overweight, sit for most of the day, or cycle frequently are especially at risk for poor penis circulation. This can lead to loss of sensitivity, as well as erectile issues. Nutrients such as vitamin C and B5 should be considered part of the daily penis care regimen, as they are needed for the formation and repair of blood vessels, as well as for maintaining adequate blood flow.
Dryness and premature signs of aging
The penis is exposed to a host of drying agents which damage the skin and may cause dryness, flaking, itching, and even premature wrinkling as the underlying structure of the dermal tissue deteriorates. Keeping the skin soft and supple with all-natural moisturizers and providing the nutrients – such as vitamins A and C – that are needed to build healthy collagen and heal irritated skin can help to maintain a healthy and youthful appearance.
Redness, soreness and irritation
Exposure to spermicides, bodily fluids, and the chemicals found in soaps and detergents, as well as aggressive rubbing, can cause soreness, redness and irritated skin on the penis. Maintaining penis health through revitalizing nutrients such as A, C and D can help to prevent irritation and to soothe sore, red penis skin.
Bacterial and fungal infections
Bacteria and fungi thrive in warm, moist areas. Because of this, the penis is a prime breeding ground for these disease-causing organisms. When bacteria are allowed to grow unchecked, they can cause foul odors, and most men have experienced the discomfort of a fungal infection such as jock itch. Natural antibacterials such as vitamin A are recommended for keeping the area clean and odor free in order to prevent unpleasant infections from developing.
How to promote good penis health
The vitamins and minerals described here are generally available in the average diet. However, it is important to keep in mind that these nutrients are often absorbed and used by other organ systems before they can benefit the penis. Using a penis health formula (most health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) that contains these ingredients may help to prevent or relieve dryness, redness and inflammation, foul odors, loss of sensitivity and circulatory issues. A penis crème that is applied directly to the skin is an effective way to ensure that these nutrients are absorbed precisely where they are needed most.
