Most often when a guy focuses on male organ problems, he’s looking at ways to treat a persistent manhood odor or to “fix” a reluctant woody or to find out what that unhealthy-looking growth really is. But sometimes male organ problems can involve one’s female partner(s) instead. For example, it’s a problem for a guy’s manhood if his partner has pain during intimacy due to endometriosis.

What is this condition?
Because people tend to be more knowledgeable about intimate health issues, there is more knowledge now about endometriosis – but many men still know little about it except that it can be hard to pronounce. So what exactly is endometriosis?

When a woman has endometriosis, it means that the endometrium, which is a layer of tissue that should be lining the inside of the uterus, is instead growing outside of the uterus – typically around the ovaries, fallopian tubes and surrounding area.

As one can imagine, this is not exactly comfortable, and in fact generally causes some degree of pelvic pain in women – a chronic case of it in about half of women with endometriosis. And even more affected women experience pain from it when they are menstruating.

Not surprisingly, penetration can also cause extreme discomfort. How much pain (and how often it occurs) depends upon the specific circumstances of an individual. But for many women, it can be a frequent reason to avoid intimacy – and understandably so.

For partners of women with endometriosis, of course, it can be frustrating. But it’s important to understand that this pain is quite real and caring and committed partners need to work together to find ways to enjoy intimacy together even when endometriosis is creating a pain barrier.

Things to do
First and foremost, partners need to communicate. Sometimes a woman may be shy or embarrassed and may not wish to tell her partner about this issue. But if two people are in a committed relationship, it needs to be talked about – and so if a man notices that his partner is reluctant to have relations or seems to be experiencing pain, he should talk about this observation and, gently, ask if there is anything that might be causing the situation.

The discussions should be open and honest – but respectful – and cover both what the woman and the man are feeling.

Couples should also discuss practical possible solutions. For example, it may be necessary to accept that there will be certain times when penetrative relations are off the table. They should be prepared to explore oral stimulation or mutual touching as alternatives. Or penetration may be an option, but it may mean exploring different positions to find one which is not painful. If lubrication has not previously been much-used in their intimate life together, the couple may need to add a quality lubricant to their lovemaking.

Dealing with endometriosis can be challenging – but men in a committed relationship definitely need to be prepared to alter their traditional methods of operating to make sure that intimacy is as enjoyable for their partners as it is for them.

Changing intimate patterns due to endometriosis is just one of the many male organ problems a man may encounter. Having a healthy manhood often helps him overcome male organ problems, so daily application of a first class male organ health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) can help. The best cremes will include a range of vitamins, including A, B5, C, D, and E, and their topical application in crème will enable them to target the manhood specifically. The ideal crème will also include L-carnitine, which has neuroprotective properties which help maintain delicate manhood sensitivity.
