A new study at the University of Western Australia has revealed production of sperm is more biologically taxing than previously thought, and expending energy on it has considerable health implications.
This study challenges the traditional view that sex, and sperm production, come cheaply to males. It is typically thought that females must invest heavily into reproduction, […]

Scientists have discovered a new approach for treating cancer based on manipulating the immune response to malignant tumours.
Vaccines for infectious diseases are highly effective at generating immune responses that prevent infection with bacteria or viruses. The immune system can also protect us against tumours and in theory a vaccine approach should be effective against cancer.
In […]

Experiments from the University of North Carolina suggests that zapping a male’s private parts with ultrasound could be one of the most effective and non-invasive forms of contraception.
According to the Daily Mail, the rsearch team found that rotating a three megahertz high frequency ultrasound beam around rats’ testes wiped out the germ cells that produce […]

A recent study looks at whether there is a link between colon cancer and alcohol, and if so at what level of consumption, and the importance of a family history of the disease. A total of 1,801 cases of colon cancer were diagnosed during follow-up from 1980 onwards.
The present study provides some support for an […]

Frequent ejaculations, especially in 20-something men, may reduce the risk of prostate cancer later in life, and men who had five or more ejaculations weekly while in their 20s reduced their risk of getting prostate cancer later by a third.  Frequent ejaculations, up to 21 or more a month, were linked to lower prostate cancer […]

A prostate expert from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, suggests physicians advising men whether to be screened for prostate cancer with a PSA test must rely more on available evidence when recommending screening, biopsies and treatments rather than long held beliefs that PSA-based testing is beneficial for all.
He states that the current system that relies […]

A recent study at Queen’s University has identified a possible cause for the loss of a tumour suppressor gene (known as PTEN) that can lead to the development of more aggressive forms of prostate cancer.
Researchers say that this discovery helps for a greater understanding of how aggressive prostate cancer develops because they now have some […]

New research by Australian scientists reveals that males who are exposed to high levels of testosterone before birth are twice as likely to experience delays in language development compared to females.
The research, published in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, focused on umbilical cord blood to explore the presence of testosterone when the language-related regions […]

Human papillomavirus, or HPV, has recently been linked to some types of head and neck cancer that are becoming more prominent in the United States, mostly among men. Patients infected with oral HPV type 16 have a 14 times greater risk of developing one of these cancers, which usually form on the tonsils and at […]

A new study finds that men are at higher risk than women for subtle problems with memory and thinking skills that often precede Alzheimer’s disease.
Reserchers say currently married people were at lower risk of mild cognitive impairment than those widowed, divorced or single. Also, having a high school or less education was also linked to greater risk, […]
