Posted by PRS on March 9th, 2007

Male Infertility Problems
Posted by PRS on February 13th, 2007
For a couple to produce a child, both the male and the female need to be healthy. Sometimes, if more than a year passes and they are unable to conceive, fertility problems might be to blame. What many people don't realize is that fertility problems often lie with the man instead of the woman.
According to research, infertility affects around 10% of the population who are of reproductive age in the U.S. (or 6.1 million people). It is estimated that one third of all infertility cases (approximately 35%) are actually due to male infertility factors.

The Micro Penis Condition
Posted by PRS on February 2nd, 2007
While many men are not satisfied with the size of their penis and think it's too small, there is a certain percentage of the male population that truly suffers from an abnormally small penis. According to medical definition, a "micropenis" is an unusually small penis, featuring a flaccid length of less than 2 centimeters for newborn male children and less than 4 centimeters for male adults. This condition is diagnosed shortly after birth, when the perineum, scrotum and penis are fully formed, and occurs in about 0.6% of the male population.

Early Onset Andropause
Posted by PRS on September 12th, 2006
In recent years the early onset of Andropause among men has become an alarming trend. Andropause is basically the male equivalent of female menopause and is associated with a sharp decline in testosterone levels. While this condition is a natural process that usually effects men between the ages of 40 and 55, environmental factors associated with the rise of industrialized society have begun to influence its development. A wide range of pollutants and chemicals have been found to act as synthetic estrogens which can induce specific changes in men at both the physical and psychological levels.
