      Do Men Experience a “Change of Life” as They Age?

      September 18, 2011 /

      “Manapause” ,if you will, while not quite the female equivalent of menopause is still marked by distinctive physiological changes in men.

      Unlike women, men experience hormonal changes gradually over a period of many years. A man’s testosterone level peaks around age 20, and then steadily declines from about 40 on, so ultimately it’s about 50% less by the time he is 80 years old. The result can sometimes be a condition called “andropause,” which potentially affects millions of American men.

      The symptoms – irritability, changes in sexual function and erectile quality, low desire – can have a very real impact on a guy’s sex life and his overall relationship.

      Meningitis Vaccine Now Recommended for 9 Month Old Babies

      September 17, 2011 /

      Meningitis vaccines are now being given to 9 month old babies.

      This raises the number of inoculations to over 20 before baby’s first birthday.

      For parents concerned about the effect of inoculations this comes as just more bad news.

      What has been occurring is a surge among the very young with vaccine injury related deaths, as in SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), various forms of paralysis, disabling seizures, autism spectrum behavior often with extreme bowel disorders, ADHD, asthma, and food allergies. The kids are worse off now than before.

      Most of these alarming events have occurred shortly after vaccinations, especially after a barrage of multiple shots in one day, or within the same time frame as a scheduled series.

      While there has been no direct link acknowledged by the medical community between childhood vaccines and SIDS, Autism, Seizures or mental defect it has also not been disproven to the satisfaction of many parents.

      Testosterone Drops in New Fathers

      September 17, 2011 /

      It seems that women aren’t the only ones affected by hormone fluctuations during child birth. Fatherhood, it seems, also comes with physiological changes.

      A new study reveals that testosterone levels drop when men become fathers.

      The study, experts say, suggests that men’s bodies evolved hormonal systems that helped them commit to their families once children were born. It also suggests that men’s behavior can affect hormonal signals their bodies send, not just that hormones influence behavior. And, experts say, it underscores that mothers were meant to have child care help.

      September 15, 2011 /

      Your heart health may be the biggest predictor of your sex life.

      Nearly 1 in 5 men in the U.S. has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, a condition known as erectile dysfunction (ED). The new study, which appears this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine, suggests that ED drugs such as Viagra aren’t the only solution and aren’t always enough to address the problem, says coauthor Dr. Stephen Kopecky, M.D., a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
