For the better part of your teenage years and beyond, you were probably worried to death that you might get someone pregnant. The irony is that now, when you’re all settled down and ready to build a family, you can’t! Your sperm is either nowhere to be found in your semen, or what’s there is […]
I spent the first 15 years of my professional life as a hard-charging academic surgeon at one of the finest medical institutions in the world. This was a challenging, inspiring, fruitful and unforgettable time. I pushed the field of men’s reproductive health forward as hard as I could. But through all of this, I came […]
It was 16 years ago at about this time when I wrote my first blog. Ever. Top of mind at that time was my thinking that male infertility was not simply something that, coincidentally, happened to otherwise perfectly healthy men. Just a matter of “bad luck,” right? Nope. Reproductive competence is far too important to […]
For the last 16 years of my professional life, I have penned over 600 blogs about men. I have verbally danced around, mucked around, poked and prodded at, lambasted and celebrated, all things sexual and reproductive that have to do with these unique homo sapiens. I have called them what they are, at once cavepersons, […]
I have seen how profound the effects of erectile dysfunction and penile curvature can be on a man’s quality of life. Indeed, the penis holds a unique place in the male psyche, influencing all kinds of behavior like no other organ. Robin Williams probably said it best: “God gave man both a penis and a […]
Did you know that the wealthiest men worldwide live 6 fewer years than the poorest women? How about the fact that 4 of 5 of suicide deaths in America are men? Or that men take top honors in 8 of 10 leading causes of death? How about that men are almost 40% more likely to die of […]
Maybe once a week, an infertile couple will sit in front of me along with 500 pages of medical records and a pile CDs of all that they’ve been through. I know that there are valuable trends and relevant observations to be discerned from this tome of records, but who has the hours it takes […]
The couple took their seats in front of me, cleared their throats, looked me in the eye, and said: “You’re our last hope.” Always game for a reproductive challenge, I leaned in and calmly stated: “How can I help?” Trying to conceive now for 4 years, they’d tried timed intercourse, intrauterine inseminations, and several cycles […]
He came to me looking worried. “I’m not that old, as fit as a fiddle, got lots of irons in the fire at work, happy to be married with kids all grown… but my sex life is in the toilet.” Indeed, he looked as stated: good muscle mass, no dad belly to speak of, graying […]
Can what a man eats affect the health of a future son that he dreams of having? The short (but fantastical) answer is yes. And the conduit for the effect is none other than the tiny sperm that he makes. Even more fascinating is how this actually happens, because it’s not through the canonical genetic […]
