Testosterone Coupons Not Always the Best Deal

Testosterone replacement therapy can be expensive, so many men use coupons provided by pharmaceutical companies or doctors.

But the practice might be risky for men who cannot afford to continue therapy after the coupon expires. Once a man starts taking testosterone, his body stops making it on its own. It takes time for this process to recover. So he may develop low testosterone symptoms - such as fatigue and low libido - again. 

What can men do? There might be other options. Please click here for more details. 

Penis Changes with Age

How does the penis of a 60-year-old man differ from that of a 20-year-old? 

You might think of performance first.  Erectile dysfunction (ED) becomes more common as men get older. They may need more time during sex. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - an enlarged prostate - becomes more likely, too, leading to urination difficulties.

The penis also changes in appearance. The coloring may lighten and it might start to look smaller. For some men, it actually becomes smaller. 

Should men be concerned about these changes? Sometimes. Our latest blog post can tell you more about the aging penis. It explains why these changes occur, what to look for, and what men can do if they have troublesome symptoms. 

Sexual health is still important as we get older, so be sure to see your doctor if you are having problems.

4 Studies: No Link Between Testosterone and Heart Problems

Four new studies have found no association between testosterone replacement therapy and heart problems.

The possible link has been controversial for some time.  

The current debate began after two medical journals published research suggesting the connection.

However, those results have been challenged by other scientists. 

Two of the new studies were presented at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting last month.

The other two were presented at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions, also held last month.
