There are a ton of guides out there talking about vaginal health but what about penis health? People tend to brush aside things on the dude\u2019s side. Maybe because it\u2019s not a cavernous place that is prone to yeast infections or other itchy issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But men\u2019s genital health is just as important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, let\u2019s look at some direct and indirect ways you can take care of your ding dong.<\/p>\n\n\n
There have been studies that link dehydration to erectile dysfunction. Aside, from being good for overall health, try to get in those couple liters for the sake of your mini-me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can see if you\u2019re getting enough liquids by the color of your urine\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking of water, you might have heard that women should be doing Kegel exercises to strengthen their pelvic floor \u2013 mostly to counter the changes during pregnancy or issues that come with age (like leaking pee).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But did you know that men should do them too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it\u2019s not just your underwear that will benefit, but you\u2019ll be cleaner down there too. Extra bonus for anyone who wants to go down on you. Because trust me (from personal experience) it\u2019s gross to get a mouthful of urine residue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just use the muscles you use to pee \u2013 squeeze for five seconds, relax, and repeat for ten rounds. Slowly work your way up to twenty reps, three or four times a day. Any leakage will soon disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n
No, you can\u2019t just stand in the shower and let the falling water do all the work. Get in there and give things a good cleaning and don\u2019t forget the areas around it too \u2013 like your perineum, inner thighs, and around your butt cheeks and bum hole. Why? Sweat can collect in all those places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re uncut, gently pull back the foreskin and wash that area to prevent smegma buildup. Because dick cheese can lead to bigger health issues like balanitis (aka glans swelling).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you\u2019re still not done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check for things like warts, rashes, blisters, or strange discharge. These can be signs of an STI.<\/p>\n\n\n
It\u2019s up to you if you want to trim or shave the hedges. There\u2019s no right or wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if you choose to get in there and pull some figurative weeds, there are things to be careful of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Infections like genital warts are no laughing matter. Make sure to wear a condom during each sexual encounter. Also, get tested with every new partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
