Male Organ cancer – What are the Signs and Risk Factors? By John Dugan
Words like "broken male organ" or "impotence" may strike fear into the heart of every man, but the words "male organ cancer" can be even more frightening. Cancer of the male organ is rare, but it can be deadly, so understanding the risk factors and knowing the signs to watch for can be an important aspect of male organ care. www.man1health.com
Understanding Cancer Cancer is a term that refers to abnormal cell growth in the body. Cancerous cells, or tumors, tend to grow much faster than the surrounding healthy tissue, and they generally grow in a disorganized manner. Over time, cancerous tumors can impede normal function of the affected organs, and if the growth is not checked, the cancer cells can metastasize, or spread to other parts of the body. The key to treating cancer successfully is to catch it as early as possible, so knowing what to look for and making self-exams a part of the personal care regimen is a must, especially for men who are known to be at a higher risk for cancer. www.man1health.com
In the case of male organ cancer, tumors are often found on the very tip of the male organ, although they can also occur elsewhere. Men who are cut might be able to see changes in the skin without much effort, but those who haven't been cut might need to retract the sheath and inspect the underlying tissue carefully for any of the following warning signs. Tumors on the male organ are often described as: • Thickened patches of skin • Flat, blue-brown spots • Bleeding sores • Painless bumps www.man1health.com
These descriptions could match a number of other health conditions that could impact the male organ, and it's important to note that many people who develop these changes don’t always have cancer. In fact, male organ cancer is remarkably rare, but any abnormalities like this should prompt a visit to the doctor. www.man1health.com
Common Risk Factors While male organ cancer is rare, it does happen, especially to men who have a number of risk factors. Cleanliness is one such risk factor that seems to have a deep impact on a man's chances of getting cancer. Men who don't clean regularly, including men who can't retract the sheath and don't clean underneath it, are at a higher risk of developing cancer when compared to men who keep things tidy. Similarly, some types of male organ cancer are associated with the human papilloma virus, or HPV. This partner-transmitted disease causes warts to spring up on the male organ, and men who contract HPV have a higher likelihood of developing cancer. Not everyone who gets HPV will get cancer, and not everyone who has cancer has HPV, but it is worth being aware of the fact. As with women, men can now receive a vaccine for HPV – in order to be effective, they should be vaccinated during the early teen years, before they become active. www.man1health.com
Keeping Cancer at Bay Understanding that male organ cancer is rare may help to ease the minds of many men. But it's reasonable for all men to use common sense and reduce their risk of developing this disease. Using protection during intimate encounters, for example, may help to lower a man's risk of developing HPV infection, and that might help some men to avoid cancerous changes. Keeping clean is another important issue; and washing and grooming the male organ offers a man the opportunity to really look over every inch of his tool and ensure that he doesn't find anything that deserves a doctor's attention. www.man1health.com
After that thorough cleaning and inspection, a male organ health crème(health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) can help to seal in vital moisture and ensure that sensitive tissues have the nourishment they need to function at an optimum level. A quality product also contains emollients that can keep skin soft, healthy, sensitive and supple. www.man1health.com
