  1. Manhood Pain Might be Caused by a New Social Infection By John Dugan

  2. The growing prevalence of socially transmitted infections has concerned many men, as well it should – studies have shown that over 19 million new cases of socially shared infections occur every year, and that today over 25% of Americans are living with an incurable social infection. In addition to always practicing excellent male organ care, men must also take care to protect themselves against the growing variety of social infections lurking among potential partners. • Though many of these infections present with problems that might include manhood pain or discharge, one of the most frightening points about social infections is that some are completely asymptomatic. This means that a person can have the infection in their body but not know it is there. That’s case with a new problem discovered by researchers in the UK: Known as mycoplasma genitalium, this infection might actually be more common than gonorrhea. www.man1health.com

  3. Is this really a new socially transmitted infection? • First discovered in 1980, mycoplasma genitalium was initially believed to be bacteria that invaded the urinary tract and sometimes the reproductive system, much the same way a simple urinary tract infection might. But in the mid-90s, researchers discovered that those who tested positive for the bacteria also had intimate partners who tested positive. Over time, studies also proved that those who had more intimate partners or those who had unprotected sensual play were more likely to have mycoplasma genitalium. www.man1health.com

  4. Perhaps most significantly, the infection was never found in those who had never engaged in sensual play with a partner. Therefore, research has now definitively concluded that yes, mycoplasma genitalium is a socially transmitted infection. • What are the symptoms? • Like many other infections, men who contract this one might show no symptoms at all. For the men who do have symptoms, manhood pain when urinating is the number one complaint, followed by discharge from the male organ. For women, the symptoms usually present as bleeding after intimate activity, perhaps thanks to an inflamed cervix. The potential for long-term problems has not yet been established, thanks to the newness of the infection and ongoing research. www.man1health.com

  5. What about treatment? • Unfortunately, there are no FDA-approved tests for this particular infection; therefore, doctors usually treat the problem through a process of elimination. In most cases, the antibiotics used to treat manhood pain or male organ discharge do not work well in fighting mycoplasma genitalium. Therefore, physicians might suspect a man has this particular infection if the antibiotics obviously do not work to alleviate the symptoms. At that point, moving to higher-dose antibiotics or a different type of antibiotic altogether will often clear up the infection. www.man1health.com

  6. Taking steps to stay healthy • This worrying news is even more reason for a man to ‘wrap it up’ when enjoying time with a new partner, as well as to make a point of getting tested for a wide variety of social infections on a regular basis. Catching an infection very early can mean the difference between good health and a nasty problem later, and might also help preserve fertility. www.man1health.com

  7. Another important aspect of personal health and hygiene is the use of a top-notch male organ health crème(health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). The use of a crème with a high-end emollient, such as Shea butter, as well as the hydrating power of vitamin E can help ensure that the male organ skin stays smooth and supple. In addition, look for a crème that contains vitamins A and D, which are known for their disease-fighting prowess. Alpha lipoic acid, a strong antioxidant that fights free radicals, is also a great addition to a high-quality crème. Though no crème can protect a man against socially transmitted infections, good male organ care can help ensure a man is cognizant of his body and attuned to the changes that might occur if an infection is contracted.
