Concussion History Associated With Sexual Problems Later
For men, having a concussion could be linked to sexual problems down the road, according research in JAMA Neurology.
In a study of over 3,500 professional American football players, researchers found that men with a history of concussion were more likely to develop low testosterone or erectile dysfunction (ED).
In addition, those with the most concussion symptoms were over twice as likely to discuss symptoms of low testosterone and ED with their doctor.

Peyronie's Disease: Surgery Effective For Older Men
Men over age 65 generally do well with surgical treatment for Peyronie's disease, reports a recent Journal of Sexual Medicine study.
Peyronie's disease causes the penis to bend significantly due to plaque formation. Penis-straightening surgery is considered the "gold standard" treatment, but until now, it was unclear whether it was a good option for older men.
The study involved 86 men over age 65 who underwent surgery. Ninety-five percent of the men achieved "functional straightness" and 85% said they were satisfied with their results.
