How about a holiday gift for her that keeps on giving? Not just a wrapped box that leads to one happy ending, but a present that produces endless happy endings. Mind you, we’re not talking about reusable batteries, a gym membership or NetFlix subscription. And for those minds in the gutter, we’re not talking about […]
What’s a great way to get health information about men? Why wearables, of course. In 2016, there were 325 million wearable devices in the world. That’s “big data” territory by any measure. But have wearables actually improved the health of men? In a word, no. Or not yet anyway. Stay Home Medicine But there’s a 2.0 […]
H On Target Movember got it just right this year with their theme: “Stopping men dying too young.” Focused on testicular cancer, prostate cancer, mental health and male suicide, Movember has laudable goals of reducing death due to these conditions by 25-50% by 2030. Just assume it’s possible and make a plan, and they have. […]
When I leave the operating room after vasectomy reversal microsurgery, I thank the staff for all their help and often compliment them on a “great performance.” Because that’s what complex microsurgery really is, <a href="http://www.theturekclinic.com/the-symphony-of-surgery/ A Team Sport Surgery is like a symphony. As the surgeon, I am both the conductor and first violin, directing […]
When was your last “Aha Dozing in Flight I was taking a late evening flight across the country from Washington DC to San Francisco, trying to get some shut eye before seeing patients early the next morning. Given how hard it is for me to sleep on planes, it felt great when I actually dozed […]
You will never guess what the CDC recently revealed about single American men in the US. Recall that this federal agency monitors and prevents the outbreak of disease, from influenza to Zika, and maintains nationwide health statistics. They do good work and, like me, are keenly interested in men’s health. I applaud them. So what […]
Blocked and Baffled I was very moved this week by the decision-making prowess revealed by three couples I cared for. They all wanted children. All three men had older vasectomies, ranging from 20 to 30 years of age (that’s the vasectomy age, not the guys’ ages!). They had seen at least two urologists apiece before […]
You know who Charles Darwin is, right? One seriously influential figure in human history, Darwin’s famous natural selection theory is an easily digestible way to explain evolution. Makes sense: giraffes with longer necks can reach higher into trees to eat and survive. Advantage passed on to long-necked offspring. And so on, until poof! You have […]
Has the world got you in a tizzy? Has the economy, politics, terrorism, the threat of war, quartet of killer hurricanes, and now violence in Vegas rattled your cage? Even without the icy coating of current events, about ¼ of Americans feel extreme stress in any given month. Welcome to humanity. But stress is a […]
The Case of the Month is an actual patient of Dr. Turek. In my life and work, I have always believed in the mantra of the modernist architect Mies van der Rohe that “less is more”. However, as a card-carrying member of the real world, my mantra is really “less can be more.” Especially when […]
