Living with erectile dysfunction, or impotence, can be a huge blow to a man's ego and, in some cases, his health. If doctors know who is at risk, they can take steps to stop erection problems.

If you are a man with diabetes, you are twice as likely as other men to suffer from low testosterone. But does it work the other way around? Can low testosterone boost your risk for diabetes?

Low levels of testosterone may affect how a man's body reacts to insulin, a hormone that helps control levels of blood sugar.

The medication Stendra (avanafil) has just been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat erectile dysfunction, the FDA announced today.

Approximately 30 million men in the U.S. have difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, according to the FDA's release. This inability to have a satisfactory sex life can negatively impact a person's quality of life and personal relationships.

Men and women have much in common. But let's face it: there are some obvious
differences between the sexes, especially when it comes to sexual health.

Just as women have their own set of distinct health issues, there are many health problems
that only concern men. Low testosterone and erectile dysfunction (impotence) are two prime
examples of men's sexual health problems.

Male infertility (the inability to reproduce) can be caused by a number of factors, including
varicoceles, or swollen veins in the scrotum. Now, it seems varicoceles may lead to
problems even more severe than infertility.

Varicoceles may disrupt a man's ability to produce testosterone - a hormone that is
extremely important for keeping men in good health. However, surgery can boost
testosterone levels in men suffering from the condition.
