Maladies of Men
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.
