Do you know how Viagra got its start? Pfizer developed it to relieve a type of chest pain, angina, that’s associated with severe heart disease. They thought it might work better than nitrate paste or pills, the standard of the day. Guess what? It didn’t. But the men in the clinical trial wouldn’t give the […]
He was close to 90 years old and came to see me wondering whether he could still have sex. A widower for several decades, he had just met a “younger” woman, a sprite 75 year old, and he was feeling things he hadn’t felt for years. There was <a href="http://www.theturekclinic.com/libido-and-erections-birds-of-a-feather-mens-health/ What impressed me most about him […]
Nichoas Kristof, in his New York Times Op-ed piece, has side stepped his usual poignant political commentary to pontificate on <a href="http://www.theturekclinic.com/services/male-fertility-infertility-doctor-treatments-issues-zero-sperm-count-male-doctors/spermatogenesis-production/ Struggling Sperm His piece begins with the notions that human sperm have lost their once-nice figures, can’t swim as well as they used to, and have fallen off in numbers over the last […]

You probably heard it already: George and Amal Clooney are expecting. Yessiree, that perennial 55-year old bachelor, once described by the New Yorker Magazine as: “lightly ironic, clever, and self-deprecating, with furrowed brow and bobbing head, and a gyration in the lower jaw,” is awaiting diaper duty…for twins nonetheless. Ironically, this little feature of the […]
Well, guess what? It’s March Madness again. A great time for all good men to consider having vasectomies done. Why not take advantage of that rare loophole opportunity to turn a highly unwelcomed poke on the nether regions into a guilt-free, sports watching vacation? Surgical Art I find it interesting that the vasectomy procedure, although avoided […]
I take care of lots of men with erection dysfunction. I also take care of lots of men with low sex drive. And, as you can imagine, I see a lot of men with both issues. And this is where men’s health gets really interesting. Inside My Mind I think of erections and libido as […]
Certain stories really raise my eyebrows. A patient recently told me about how he had seen three orthopedic surgeons who told him that he needed hip surgery for pain that began when he was chaperoning on a Boy Scout outing. He then saw a chiropractor who thought that his hip was slightly out of rotation and […]
Name one of the top 10 most commonly searched healthcare topics on Google last year. Ok, “cupping” and “traumatic brain injury” are both up there. But Zika was too. Gracious!
