Sexual health as men age
In a natural desire to restore sexual ability, elder men can find on the market a lot of effective and popular medical remedies

herbal health supplements or erectile dysfunction drugs.
In many cases, elder men do not visit their doctor before taking this kind of medication. Of course, the proper
knowledge and understanding is very important, but for every man is also important to know why he is experiencing
such changes with age.

Question:
I have no problem with erection I am 65 but sometimes cannot ejaculate what can I do?
by chuck April 25, 2009
Answer
Many men after 60 years of age report they can't sometimes ejaculate. This could be normal as men age. However,
at this age we can't separate effects of healthy aging from those of certain illness, medication or treatment
Your ability to ejaculate is also influenced by your partner vaginal health, her anticipation of sex as a pleasure event. So think if your inability occurs when you take a certain medication or your partner is in a bad condition.

does hurt when i touch it. Not sexually active, but do masturbate about 4 times a day and I am 16. by Sean January 11, 2009

or 4-6 months), in each of those repors Viability & Motility have been normal, an average Viability
of about 65% & Motility of 50% (A+B). During this the latest Analysis the Abstinence

some matter to worry. What can be the reasons for such a huge decline in the viability & the motility.
Can such conditions be treated for ?

Question:
What means blood in my semen?
by shadowhill October 05, 2008
Answer
Presence of blood in the semen (hematospermia) is normal for men who recently had vasectomy or prostate biopsy.
Other causes could be bladder or urethra infection, sexually transmitted diseases, testicles trauma. Young men
who have a single episode of bleeding that goes away on its own need no evaluation other than a doctor examination
and an urine specimen. A more thorough work-up may be worthwhile in older men, or in men who have persistent or
recurring bleeding.

I am 46 and I have missed a period. My husband had a vasectomy 8 years ago. Could I be pregnant after this vasectomy.
I am afraid to take a pregnancy test.
by Nancy August 17, 2008
Answer
After vasectomy a sperm test is performed to see if surgery was a success. If this test revealed
that your husband is infertile, then you cannot be pregnant. A missed period might be a sign of menopause.
The best thing you can do is to see a doctor.

by c c July 21, 2008

Some studies suggest that wearing tight underwear does raise the scrotal temperature and affect sperm quality.
Some sceptical experts say there’s a range of other factors that affect sperm quality and men “don’t wear underwear that tight” 24 hours a day.
