Can Peyronie's Penis Disease Be Corrected?

2012-02-09T11:34:00.000-08:00

Peyronie's Disease: The Facts

A penis that has a significant curve while erect could be a sign of Peyronie’s disease. No specific cause for the PD condition has been determined, but studies have shown that it most likely occurs as a result of trauma causing scar tissue to build beneath the skin of the penis—though the reason for development of scar tissue is also uncertain. Such trauma includes penis fracture during intercourse.

Who is Most at Risk?
It isn’t uncommon for men finding out about this disease to wonder if they are at risk. Keep in mind, though, that Peyronie's disease is not a common medical condition, thought to affect 1 in 100 men. This disease typically affects men between the ages of forty and sixty years of age. Some men older than sixty have also been reported to begin seeming symptoms.

Sex to distress but not if your are overdoing with it

Sex is the best natural stress-buster that can give all vitamins a run for their money. A survey in the USA has borne evidence to this fact: When over fifty middle-aged women stated that sex and even mild caressing actions of affection had the power to transform negative mood to positive one and make you feel better instantly. Moreover, it is not that the stress was relieved just for that moment but instead positive mood continued for the next few days. However, this same impact was not observed when women reached orgasm without a partner. However, having on an average two orgasms every week can improve your health significantly. In case of men it has been seen that frequent orgasms lead to lower mortality rate thus proving yet again that sex is the key to a long, healthy and happy life.

Putting On Condoms And Losing It Problems

Posted by by Jack:
So I guess I fall under the psychological category, but I'm not even sure that's the cause to the condom problem... my first time would have been at 16 if this problem hadn't occurred. I'm 22 now, I've had a lot of GREAT sex with 5 different women without condom use, female birth control and is a beautiful thing. That number would be double or more if this problem hadn't sadly made me so picky.. I'm very healthy, I don't suffer from erectile dysfunction issues, well besides winter depression, but honestly emo sex is pretty hawt. My diet is a healthy one minus the soda, I do smoke, but this problem occurred long before I started. I can be hard as a rock, slide condom right on, but after 30 sec or so regardless of whether I'm in her or not it goes down.. feels good enough when I'm in there, definitely enjoyable, I really don't get it..

Can Diabetes Cause Erectile Dysfunction In Men?

2011-11-01T11:01:00.000-07:00

Male Diabetics Beware

Diabetes is a condition where the body is unable to metabolize blood sugar because of the lack of the hormone insulin. Insulin helps cells absorb blood sugar that is then used as fuel for normal cellular processes. Because of the high sugar levels in the bloodstream, there are many complications that arise in the male body. One of them is called erectile dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction is the condition where the male’s sexual organ fails to properly operate during the right time. This is due to damage to the blood vessels and nerve system of the penis. The higher viscosity of the blood due to higher sugar content causes blood vessels to either burst or harden while the lack of essential nutrients result in nerve damage and death in the area. As a result, there is both a lack of sensation as well as erection, as blood vessels fail to perform properly to cause the flaccid penis to stand at attention.

One example of a specialized site that serves a dual purpose as a kind of support group are the herpes dating sites.

Herpes-positive individuals may not feel comfortable seeking potential dating partners on the general interest dating sites. These people are responsible and want to inform potential dating partners of their condition, but find it understandably difficult to do so. By signing up for herpes dating sites, they are able to do the right thing while avoiding the difficult and uncomfortable situation of telling a potential mate about their condition.

Erectile Dysfunction & Stress Effects

2011-09-02T12:41:00.000-07:00

Strategies to Combat Stress-Related Erectile Dysfunction

Taking extra shifts at work, working longer hours, promotions, and there’s no doubt, you’re stressed to your outer limits. It doesn’t take a psychology degree to know that the rest of your life starts to suffer. You forgot to go to Johnny’s baseball game, you couldn’t make it to hang out with your friends after leaving the office, and your performance in the bedroom is less than you’d like.

In order to maintain an erection, many processes of the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for sexual arousal, salivation, and digestion among other functions, must be in charge. When stressed, however, the sympathetic nervous system, responsible for the fight-or-flight response, takes over and the parasympathetic nervous system loses control. Luckily, there are many steps that can be taken to reduce stress and maintain parasympathetic control in order to maintain optimal performance in the bedroom.

What Are Penis Cancer Risks Factors?

Penis Cancer: The Cancer that No One Wants to Talk About

A verdict was finally announced in the trial of the doctor who removed a Kentucky man’s penis during a routine circumcision and many are left wondering just how common penis cancer is and what kind of screening is available so that they do not have to worry about finding themselves in a similar situation.

When Phillip Seaton checked in for a routine circumcision to relieve swelling neither he nor his doctor could have imagined that a cancer diagnosis penis amputation and a full blown media circus were in their future. While many can sympathize with the trauma of waking up to find an intimate part of your anatomy missing it might be that impromptu surgery that saved Phillip Seaton’s life. Perhaps the biggest question is why wasn’t this cancer diagnosed sooner?

Though rare in the U.S. the American Cancer Society estimates that 320 men will die this year from penis carcinoma and another 1,360 cases will be diagnosed. Doctors often times find treating this type of cancer difficult as in about half of the cases treatment is delayed due reluctance, whether out of fear or embarrassment, to consult with a doctor. This delay can allow localized cancer to spread and ultimately lead to partial or complete amputation.

Every cancer has its own unique set of risk factors and penis cancer is no exception. While these risk factors make a man more likely to develop penile cancer it can also appear in someone with no risk factors at all.
