Male Organ Bumps -- Unusual Causes: Understanding Fabry Disease When a dude is focusing on male organ health, he needs to spend some time giving himself a physical examination. This involves both looking at and feeling the organ, in order to determine if there are any new male organ bumps, rashes, scars, cuts or other issues which may need to be addressed. In the realm of male organ bumps, it’s surprising – and some might say disturbing – the number of things that can be responsible for those bumps. One of the rarer – but often longer-lasting – of these causes is called Fabry disease. About Fabry disease The National Institute of Health (NIH) says that Fabry disease is “an inherited disorder that results from the buildup of a particular type of fat, called globotriaosylceramide, in the body's cells.” This genetic disorder is, fortunately, not common; its incidence is approximately 1 in every 40,00060,000 males; it is even less common among females. It often occurs early in life, usually between 5 and 10 years of age; however, there are cases of it occurring much later in life. In general, late-onset cases are milder than early-onset ones. There are numerous symptoms associated with Fabry disease. These include:  Pain (often searing), typically in the hands and feet. This often is worse after exercising or physical exertion.  Vision and hearing issues.  Hypohidrosis, which is an inability to sweat at the level that the body needs.  Gastrointestinal issues.  Small dark red or blue-black bumps, which appear in clusters on the torso and upper legs. www.man1health.com
