Testosterone Does Not Increase Risk of Heart Problems, Study Says

Over the past year or so, a controversy has been brewing about a possible link between testosterone therapy and increased risk for heart problems in some men.

While a couple of studies have found an association, experts have questioned the reliability of this research.

However, a report published last month in Mayo Clinic Proceedings has added some more insight. 

The authors analyzed dozens of studies on the subject and found no evidence that testosterone therapy raises the risk of heart problems. 

In fact, some of the studies they reviewed found that testosterone therapy could improve cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity, high blood pressure, and poor blood sugar control.

Type 1 Diabetes Not a Risk Factor for Premature Ejaculation

There is no link between type 1 diabetes and premature ejaculation (PE), according to a team of Italian scientists. 

They analyzed data from 100 men with type 1 diabetes and 51 non-diabetic men. Using an assessment called the premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT), they evaluated each man's ejaculatory function. 

Roughly a quarter of the men in each group had PE, which led the researchers to conclude that there was no connection between type 1 diabetes and PE.

However, after looking at data from a subgroup of 30 diabetic men, they found that those whose blood glucose levels fluctuated were more likely to have PE.
