Nothing is more wonderful for the human spirit, body, and mind than the free and uninhibited expression of sexuality. Nothing is more glorious than the joyful sharing of physical pleasure between two generous, enthusiastic human beings. A current plague of confusion and self-consciousness causes most men to have less sex than they would like, and they enjoy the sex they do have a lot less. Continue Reading

Testosterone is a key male hormone. It drives libido, affects muscle mass, elevates mood, fights fatigue, adds strength, and improves cognitive ability. Unfortunately, as men age, their testosterone levels begin to decline. This process, called hypogonadism, is a normal part of getting older. Continue Reading

As a urologic oncologist, I stand on the receiving end of a remarkable phenomenon. Movember, a brilliant idea hatched in Australia in 2003, encourages men worldwide to “grow a Mo” (a moustache) during the month of November as a vehicle to raise money for research and patient support in the treatment of prostate cancer and for general issues pertaining to men’s health.

In a recent study presented at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association, Dr. Jeffrey K. Mullins of the Johns Hopkins Brady Urological Institute in Baltimore concluded that the adoption of robotic technology in organ-confined prostate cancer surgeries has a positive impact on patient morbidity, length of hospital stay, post-surgical hospital readmissions, and overall recovery.

The results of a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that surgery for early-stage prostate cancer was no better in saving lives than observation alone over a 10-year period. The study compared radical prostatectomy with watchful waiting in men diagnosed with low-grade localized prostate cancer and concluded that surgery did not significantly prolong the lives of many of the men.

We are all aware of many high-priced drugs, some costing more than $10,000 a month for treatment, that have radically altered the course of a patient’s illness. We are also aware of a huge market in generic-equivalent drugs, many of which are similar in chemical composition and effect to their high-priced cousins. Continue Reading

A new study from Duke University Medical Center, led by Dr. Judd W. Moul, a prostate surgeon, suggests that men’s expectations of laparoscopic robot-assisted prostatectomy may be too high. The study found that of 171 men facing prostate cancer surgery, those having robotic surgery expected a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to their usual physical activity and sex life. Dr. Moul points out that those hopes may not be realistic. I disagree with this observation. Continue Reading

An editorial published by the Lancet, the respected British medical journal, entitled “The End of Homeopathy” demands that doctors recognize the absence of real curative powers in homeopathic medicine. Continue Reading
