Fabry Disease May Produce Male Organ Bumps

Fabry Disease May Produce Male Organ Bumps Male organ health should be a top priority for men, especially as it doesn’t require a great deal of effort. For example, men already handle their members at least a few times a day, when they are urinating (or, of course, when self-pleasuring). As long as the hand is already on the manhood, it makes sense to give the organ a health check, provided one is alone. When doing a check, look for something unusual – such as male organ bumps, perhaps. Most men already know whether any male organ bumps they possess are “old standbys” that pose no threat or are new developments, which may need to be investigated to determine if they require any course of action. Occasionally, identifying the cause of male organ bumps can be difficult, as they may be the result of a rare condition, such as Fabry disease. How rare? Fabry disease is a rare genetic disorder that is found much more frequently in men than in women – but even then, its frequency in men is quite low, about 1 in 40,000 to 60,000 males. It also tends to be a disorder that is less common the older one gets. That doesn’t mean, however, that a man can’t become affected by it late in life, merely that onset is more common early in life. So what happens with Fabry disease? Basically, there’s a particular fat, called globotriaosylceramide, which, because of a genetic flaw in a person with Fabry disease, accumulates in cells instead of being broken down and dispersed. It has a propensity to accumulate in the linings of blood vessels near the skin, as well as in cells of the heart, kidneys, and nervous system. Symptoms and effects When a man has Fabry disease, he frequently suffers some or all of the following symptoms:  Severe pain that comes and goes, often in the feet and hands but also elsewhere www.man1health.com
