Penis Odor May Mean Liver Is Not Working Right

This is a question that a guy should stop and ask himself everyday: How’s my penis odor? Most people become acclimated to the smells from their own body, and so a guy can develop a terrible penis odor without always realizing it. Often, that penis odor comes from a specific penis health issue, but other times it may be a sign of another issue. For example, in some cases, a strong penis odor could indicate that the body’s live is not functioning the way that it’s supposed to.

Penis odor happens

Normal, everyday penis odor is something that affects most men, even those who practice good hygiene and take steps to fight it. And normally most such men succeed, either eliminating penis odor or keeping it at a minimum so that it doesn’t become an issue for their partners (or anyone else, for that matter.) They wash the penis regularly, using soap and water; they air it out for a couple of hours (or more) every day; they change their underwear regularly and try to wear underwear that is loose fitting rather than snug, which can cause an increase in sweat.

But there are times when such tactics don’t work, such as when the odor is being caused by a problem with the liver.

About the liver

Everyone has heard of the liver but does everyone know exactly what it is or what it does? Or even where it is?

So – the liver is one of the most important organs in the body (yes, even more important than the penis, if less of a party animal). It’s the biggest solid organ in the whole body, weighing about 3 pounds and being around the size of a football. It is nestled in the right upper part of the stomach, although part of it extends over into the left side as well.

Alright, the liver is a big guy, but what does it do? Basically it takes the blood in the body and filters it, removing toxins or harmful substances and separating out vitamins, nutrients, and minerals. It also decides whether to break down fats and release the energy in them or to store the fats for future use.

But wait there’s more. This busy organ also plays a big role in fighting infection, blood clotting, storing surplus blood sugar, and breaking down red blood cells that have come to the end of their cycle.

The liver and penis odor

It’s easy to see now why the liver is important, but what can it have to do with unwanted penis odor?

Basically, the liver is just as vulnerable to disease or illness as any other part of the body. There are any number of factors which can inhibit it from functioning properly. It may be as simple as a virus or as serious as liver cancer. But often when function is being interfered with, the liver starts releasing toxins through the body’s sweat glands that have a strong and pungent aroma, in many cases like rotten eggs.

This smell can occur anywhere on the body with sweat glands, including the penis. So if a man notices his penis has taken on a new and decidedly unpleasant penis odor, it is possible it may be due to a liver issue – and he should at least bring it to the attention of his doctor, so that the doctor may determine next steps.

When penis odor strikes, whether from liver or other issues, using a superior penis health oil (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) may be helpful – if the oil contains vitamin A, that is. Vitamin A has proven anti-bacterial properties which can in many cases neutralize unwanted penis odor. The best oil should also contain moisturizers such as vitamin E and shea butter to keep penis skin from drying and cracking – and providing odor-causing bacteria with a place to hide in those cracks.

Dry Penis Skin: Connected to Liver Health?

Some doctors believe that the penis is a barometer of a man's overall health and that issues that affect the penis - such as chronically dry penis skin - should be looked at to see if they indicate any larger problems. With this in mind, is it possible that something like dry penis skin could give a clue as to how healthy another body part is - such as perhaps the liver? It's interesting to think, and important to note, that paying attention to penis health could have benefits beyond the pleasure one derives from the penis at play.

Why should there be a connection between the state of one's penis skin and the state of one's liver? It's hard to imagine that these two organs - one internal, one external, with functions that are so different from one another - could be connected in some way. Yet there is a basis for this.

What does the liver do?
 
Everyone knows the liver is vitally important, yet most people don't know what it does. In fact, the liver plays a huge role in the metabolic processes that keep the body functioning at a healthy level.
Among its most important functions are taking the nutrients that one gets from food and drink and converting them into substances that are in the right form for the body to make efficient use of. It then stores these substances until there is a need for them, at which time it sends them on their way to the cells in need.

Another crucial role it plays: taking toxins - substances that are not useful to and are potentially harmful to the body - and either de-toxifying them (so they are basically harmless) or making sure they get sent out of the body.

Poor liver function
 
If the liver doesn't function properly, it means the body doesn't get the good substances it needs and/or it gets bad substances (toxins) that can harm it. The body then needs to find another way to rid itself of the toxins that the liver isn't handling. And often it does that by secreting the toxins through the skin.

And that's where dry skin comes in. Often when the body is called upon to get rid of these toxins through sweat, the toxins then create a skin reaction. Dermatitis, eczema, wrinkling, acne and red, itchy rashes are just a few of the ways that inappropriate toxin release manifests.

Penis sweating
 
Many men can testify that sweating is common around the penis. There's a reason for this. The penis and testicles tend to be among the warmest parts of the body. Part of this is biological. The thick mane of hair surrounding the penis creates natural insulation. In addition, the penis skin is very thin, in order to allow proper growth during the erect phase, and the rate of blood flow is high in the penis. These also contribute to the generation of heat.

Location adds to the sweatiness. The fact that the organ is nestled between the thighs and usually hidden between two layers of clothes creates extra heat. All of this means that the penis tends to create a great deal of sweat - and therefore to release toxins if the liver is not functioning at its full capacity.

Does that mean that a man with dry penis skin automatically has a liver issue? Absolutely not - but if it is chronic, he may want to bring his concerns to the attention of his physician, in order to determine if there is any connection in his particular case.

Most often there is not a connection with a serious liver condition - but that still leaves a man with a dry penis to deal with. Fortunately, using a first-rate penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) can help. A crème that includes both a high-end emollient (like Shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E) offers double-barreled moisturizing that can soothe and repair dry, damaged skin. Add extra protection by selecting a crème with a potent antioxidant, such as alpha lipoic acid, which offsets harmful oxidative processes and smooths wrinkled appearances. Paying attention to penis health has multiple benefits for a man, including better look and feel.
