I take care of a lot of men, for lots of different issues. And, sort of like a pediatrician, I have watched them grow over time into even better men. Men who are empowered. Men who take control of their health and own their lives. Think about it, I cannot make the changes that my […]

Biology Always Wins
The case of the month is an actual patient of The Turek Clinic. “I hope you can help me, Doc. I’ve been shopping around to have my vasectomy undone, but I’m having trouble finding anyone who will do it. They say it won’t work. See, my wife is young and really doesn’t want to take […]
The Good Side of Bad News
Not sure about you, but I like to see the good in the bad. By focusing on the flipside of adversity, I get stronger instead of weaker. Hey, I’m the first one to fess up to the unpleasant, abominable and awful, but there’s gotta be a way to make silk…or something…out of a sow’s ear. […]
Men’s Rules of Engagement
Do you believe that Sasquatch exists? How about zombies, vampires or ghosts? If you saw a unicorn, would you, like Kiersten White in Endlessly, think: “It’s like a demented goat with a bone growth?” Are urban lore, Greek mythology and folk tales just that? Maybe not. Unicorns are People Too A well-known unicorn in medicine […]
A Story of Men, Sex and Babies
Who doesn’t like a story? Remember telling stories of each of your scars to your friends as a kid? Or listening to the classic, “remember when…” You also know that if they make no sense, it’s either because of sex or money. Stories are good; they shape the world. More than informational, they reliably tweak the […]
Take a Moment and Picture Your Fertility
How do you solve tough problems? Maybe you pick at them until they’re gone. Maybe you dance around them until they’re contained. One thing I like to do is to step away and examine them as an outsider, from a completely different perspective. In other words, get out of the trees and look at the whole […]
An Interesting Way to Conceive
The case of the month is an actual patient of The Turek Clinic The body has a whole bunch of really cool reflexes. These are things that the body does without conscious thought. It’s how the eye focuses. It’s why the knee jerks. It also explains blushing, sneezing, coughing, shivering and even yawning. And, believe it […]
Does the Good Wood Have Ears?
“You know, Doc, there are times when I lose my erection…just like that. It happens when I’m really stressed out. It’s like the penis has ears or something!” Say it aint so! Can the penis really “hear” stress and go flat because of it? The Good Wood This reminds me of another scenario in which the […]
Why Have Two in The Corner Pocket?
Growing up as a kid, you expect to find two jewels right where they belong down there. And about the size of small grapes. But did you know that 2% of boys at birth are missing a testicle? It’s just not there in the sac. Yup, undescended testicles are the most common genital birth defect. […]
Is the Written Word Obsolete in Science?
Hard to believe, but I used to use Encyclopedia Britannica in grade school to research book reports. Imagine that, a 10 year old encyclopedia was the “latest and greatest” source of knowledge that you could get in a library. Back then, history was history, it’s in the past for Heaven’s sake, and science was evolving […]
