Male Organ Pain and Sports: Taking Precautions

By John Dugan

• Sports are often a big part of an active man’s life and are important for many in maintaining their overall physical health. Yet on occasion sports activities can be a cause of male organ pain, definitely an unwanted consequence. Part of proper male organ health includes thinking of ways to prevent and treat male organ pain related to sports activities.

• • Sports injuries• • Because sports by definition involve physical activity and contact (either

with another person or with an object, such as a ball), there is always the potential for some form of injury. Fortunately, male organ area injuries make up only an estimated 2 to 5 percent of all sports injuries. Yet the male organ pain that accompanies such an injury makes them well worth avoiding.

• With that in mind, the following tips can help avoid manhood injury from sports.

• • Warm it up. One of the most common causes of sports-related male

organ pain is lack of sufficient warm-up before engaging in physical activity. This is especially true for those involved in track-related sports, or even simply jogging; however, it can apply just as easily to football, basketball, etc. Engaging in a range of stretching warm-ups can help prevent a “male organ area pull” that can cause long-lasting pain.

• Ride right. Many cyclists suffer from male member numbness, especially during long-distance races. The numbness is a problem in itself, but it can also cause a man to experience a physical injury in the area without being aware of it. There are numerous things a man can do to help prevent this, including wearing properly padded bike shorts; angling the saddle and handlebars properly; shifting weight and standing up occasionally while riding; and shortening rides as necessary.

• • Wear a cup. This is a no-brainer, but many guys – especially amateur

athletes – neglect to wear a proper athletic cup, even when engaging in “rough” sports like football. It’s true that a jock can sometimes be a bit uncomfortable; however, the extra protection that it affords is invaluable.

Avoid the itch. Jock itch is a common issue for many athletes (whether they wear a cup or not). Male organ skin issues can range from a minor annoyance to actual pain, so avoiding jock itch and other dermatological issues in the area is key. Athletes can reduce the chances of jock itch by bathing after a practice or game; drying the area promptly and well after bathing; changing into fresh cotton underwear after engaging in sports; and not sharing towels or clothing with other men.

• Treatment• • What about treating male organ pain from sports injuries? Allowing

the member to rest is important; the period of rest time depends upon the severity of the injury. Applying something cold (a cold compress, a bag of frozen peas, etc.) for 10-15 minutes several times a day can also help. (Make sure to wrap the cold object in a cloth so that it does not come in direct contact with the manhood skin.) Wearing briefs is also recommended, as that should lend more support to the organ.

• Sports-related male organ pain also will respond better to treatment if the organ is being kept in good overall health. Using a top-drawer male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) can be a big plus here. First, make sure the chosen crème is going to keep the skin properly hydrated; this not only prevents dermatological issues but keeps the organ supple so that it resists irritation. A crème with both a natural moisturizer (such as vitamin E) and a high-end emollient (such as Shea butter) is the best bet for hydration. In addition, find a crème with L-arginine. This enzyme aids in nitric oxide production, which in turn helps male member blood vessels to relax and expand, increasing oxygenation. A well-oxygenated male organ is a much healthier organ.
