Basic Information about Peyronie's Disease
Posted by PRS on December 11th, 2005
The vast majority of men grow up to experience the pleasures of normal sex, never thinking about or being concerned with the shape of their penises. Some men however are not so fortunate and find themselves unpleasantly surprised by the formation of scar tissue and a resulting bend in their penis. This condition is known to health care professionals as Peyronie's disease and is believed to exist in about 1 percent of all men.

Brief Overview of Venereal Disease
Posted by PRS on August 19th, 2005
Venereal diseases, or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) as they are more commonly called today, are a series of diseases which are transmitted through sexual contact. The most common types today are Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Chancroid, Chlamydia, HIV AIDS and Candidiasis. Also called "sexually transmitted infections", these diseases are usually spread through vaginal, oral or anal sex. Sexual contact is also the means by which parasites such as pubic lice and scabies are spread.

History and Causes of Peyronie's disease
Posted by PRS on August 5th, 2005
Peyronie's disease, characterized by an abnormal and sometimes painful bend in the penis, is a condition that has probably been around for centuries if not longer. Much like erectile dysfunction and other intimate male problems, this condition is not usually discussed openly out of embarrassment and primarily due to its private nature. A natural fear of sexually transmitted diseases and impotence led most to frown upon intimate diseases and there was little or no understanding of these illnesses and their causes.

Testosterone Level Deficiencies
Posted by PRS on June 2nd, 2005
Testosterone is classified within the androgen family of hormones and is responsible for the development of masculine characteristics in all vertebrates. Primarily secreted in the testes and secondarily by the adrenal glands, testosterone controls the development of the male sex organs and is responsible for the emergence of secondary sex characteristics including body and facial hair, deepening of the voice, broadening of shoulders and chest, thickening of bones and increase of muscle mass. Because this hormone is closely linked to the well-being of males, any dip in testosterone levels can bring about massive changes to an individual.
