Penis Problems and Some Solutions

When a man has his health, he’s happy, and when he has good penis health, his penis is happy. That should be the end of the story, but unfortunately, sometimes penis problems arise that can get in the way of desired penis happiness. Some penis problems are more complicated than others, and some more distressing. Following are some penis problems a man might encounter, along with some possible solutions to those problems.

- A sore penis. This happens to just about every guy at some point, especially when he’s been sexually overactive – either with a partner or with himself. Due to the cause of the soreness, it’s one of the more desirable problems to have, and one many men like to boast about. But when genuinely sore, it can be a bit of a pain. Solutions include giving the little buddy a rest for a day or two, putting something cool (but not too cold) on it, and rubbing a soothing crème into it.

- A smelly penis. Sadly, this is one of the most common penis problems. We say sadly because persistent and heavy penis odor is one of the most common reasons why a potential partnership gets derailed. Look, guys, everyone knows that the equipment gets hot and sweaty, so take steps to get rid of the odor. Solutions? Try washing more often, and especially right before going on a date. If possible, do another quick wash right before unveiling it; even just using a wet wipe on it can help. Also, using an appropriate penis health crème can help prevent penis odor.

- A hair trigger penis. Guys really want to sexually satisfy their partners, and ideally they’d like to do so from penetrative sex. But premature ejaculation often means that a partner leaves unsatisfied, or may need to be further stimulated via oral or manual sex (and there’s nothing wrong with that). Men with premature ejaculation issues should consult with a professional to discuss possible treatments.

- Stubborn foreskin. Intact men sometimes experience phimosis and/or paraphimosis. In the first, the foreskin is unable to easily retract from the glans. In the second, the foreskin has successfully retracted, but then cannot get back to its position covering the glans. Often the issue in both cases is a swollen glans, and treating the infection or other cause of that can rectify the problem. Stretching the foreskin, perhaps using an appropriate crème, may also help.

- Urinary tract infection. Although somewhat more common among women, many men do indeed get urinary tract infections. They are just what they sound like – bacteria or another agent gets in the system that processes and disposes of urine, leading to pain, swelling, and inflammation somewhere along the line. Checking with a doctor to determine the cause of the infection is best, as the doc can then prescribe the most appropriate treatment for dealing with this issue.

- Sexually transmitted infections. Men with multiple partners and/or those who have sex without using a condom are at a much higher risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection, or STI. Checking with a doctor promptly for a diagnosis and treatment is absolutely essential.

Many penis problems have solutions that are easy to come by or involve easily accessible products, such as daily application of a superior penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). As mentioned above, penis odor can be diminished by using an appropriate crème, that is, one with vitamin A, the anti-bacterial properties of which fight odor at its root. When a penis is sore, often a crème with moisturizers such as shea butter and vitamin E can provide superficial relief while keeping the penis skin supple and hydrated.

Penis Odor Solutions: Back to Basics

Just because summer is over doesn’t mean a dude can rest easy when it comes to persistent penis odor. Sure, cooler weather does indeed translate into less sweat and thus less penis odor - but it still requires regular, basic penis care to keep the equipment from producing an off-putting stench. There are solutions to the penis odor problem, and it behooves a guy to explore and utilize them. His partner and/or future partners will thank him for taking the little extra time required.

Penis odor happens

Some penis odor is essentially inevitable, unless perhaps a man is a full-time nudist - and even then, some stench may still attach itself to his nether regions. So when looking for odor solutions, it’s necessary to understand why penis odor is so common.

There can be some atypical cause of penis odor, such as an STI (sexually transmitted infection), a urinary tract infection or a yeast infection. But most of the time the reasons are far more mundane.

Basically, sweat and dirt are the culprits. Sweat is entirely understandable. After all, the penis is most often kept tucked away behind two layers of clothing, which creates a heated situation. The fact that it nestles on top of a pair of testicles and between a pair of thighs creates more heat merely through skin-on-skin contact. Add in the insulation from body hair in the area, and there’s no wonder that the midsection can get so sweaty.

Dirt (and the bacteria that accompanies it) is also a factor. All men can be prone to dirt in the penile area, but intact men may have a greater challenge; smegma can build up underneath the foreskin if proper care is not taken.

Basic solutions

Knowing why men commonly have penis odor makes it easy to see some common sense solutions. These include:

1) Wash properly. Showering or bathing on a regular basis is essential to keeping penis odor at bay. If a man is too busy to bathe, taking a washcloth, soap and water and simply giving the genitals a good scrub can still help. For men who have serious sweat issues, it may pay to shower in the morning and do a quick washcloth to the midsection later in the day - especially if going on a date. However, remember that penis skin is very sensitive, so use a soap or cleanser that is gentle and doesn’t include harsh chemicals or fragrances.

2) Dress appropriately. Men who sweat heavily may want to consider changing clothes after work (and certainly before a big date), or at least changing into fresh underwear. It also pays to select underwear that will generate less heat. Tight briefs, for example, can increase the heat quotient; if a guy doesn’t need the support briefs supply, he may be better off with light, loose boxers. Make sure the fabric is cotton or another fabric that "breathes." Those who go with briefs may also want to consider ones in a "mesh" style, which let more air flow in.

3) Undress appropriately, too. "Airing out" the penis is a very good way to help keep odors away. Ideally, a man should let his penis air out for several hours each day; sleeping in the nude is one way to accomplish this.

4) Think about a haircut. If pubic hair creates too much heat, consider trimming it or shaving it off entirely.

The last of our solutions for fighting penis odor is to keep it in optimal health. Regular application of a first rate penis health crème ( health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin ) can be a big help here. It’s essential that the selected crème includes vitamin A, the anti-bacterial properties of which enable it to punch out penis odor. Healthier penis skin is better able to resist penis odor, so the crème should also include moisturizing agents, such as Shea butter and vitamin E, which can keep the skin appropriately hydrated and healthy.
