A man's penis is an important part of his identity as a man. It serves a critical role in urinary function. Its function as a sexual organ is also important; sexuality is a source of physical pleasure, emotional bonding, and procreation. Unfortunately, the penis is prone to injuries and problems just like any other part of the human body and some of these injuries may have an impact on a man's enjoyment of sex. One particular problem that has received increasing attention in recent years is Peyronie's disease, a condition in which painful, hard plaques form underneath the skin of the penis leading to penile curvature. Recent demographic surveys have reported that Peyronie's disease can be found in up to 9% of men between the ages of 40 and 70. If you or a loved one have pain and penile curvature characteristic of Peyronie's disease, join us to learn more about the causes, diagnosis and treatment of Peyronie's disease, a serious quality-of-life issue.

Many men occasionally ejaculate sooner during sexual activity than they or their partner would like. When it happens infrequently, it's probably not cause for concern. However, if you regularly ejaculate sooner than you and your partner wish - such as before intercourse begins or shortly afterward - you may have a condition known as premature ejaculation. When premature ejaculation happens frequently, it can become a frustrating problem, can reduce the enjoyment of sex, harm relationships and could affect quality of life. Once thought to be purely psychological, experts now know that biological factors also play an important role in premature ejaculation. When the problem causes distress to the man or his partner, treatments including medications, psychological counseling and learning sexual techniques to delay ejaculation can improve sex for you and your partner. Leading experts discuss the causes, diagnosis and treatment of premature ejaculation. MORE |
