Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a common problem that affects a lot of men. It is estimated that half of all men between 40 and 70 will suffer from it to some extent. ED can occur for numerous different reasons, including anxiety, depression, obesity, and drinking, and can today be effectively combated with a variety of treatments such as therapy, penile pumps and Viagra.
Erectile Dysfunction isn’t a modern male phenomenon. In fact, the condition goes back for thousands of years – and throughout history the condition has been blamed on a cornucopia of culprits, from the curse of the gods to yin-yang imbalances.
It hasn’t always been as simple as popping a blue pill, or a getting a prescription from your GP. Here are some of the wildest, weirdest and most wonderful attempted cures for male flaccidity through the ages. Read in full
Malaria is a disease that has been around for more than 4,000 years and is still causing major concern throughout the world. As a longstanding thorn in humanity’s side, it has led to a cornucopia of attempted discoveries, remedies and cures.

Full question: I have read the information on your website regarding Propecia. However, there is no information regarding whether or not a male who is trying for a baby with his partner can take Propecia. I have heard conflicting information on this, and although you have made it clear that women, especially when pregnant, could suffer birth defects from coming into contact with finasteride, there is no mention on your website about whether men who are trying for a pregnancy should avoid Propecia. I have read the patient information leaflet, and there is nothing about it there either. Based on the above, I am assuming that it is ok for men who are trying for a pregnancy to take Propecia, but would very much appreciate confirmation from one of your doctors on this matter.

Been told by an ex that she has gonorrhoea and I fear I do as well as I’ve had some symptoms. Rather than sit in a clinic I was hoping to discretely take the medicine to treat it. I read online that chlamydia treatment is the same. Is this the case? Read in full
One of the biggest complaints about condoms – and the primary reason men are reluctant to use them – is that they affect the sensation of intercourse and diminish the sexual pleasure.
However, a breakthrough material – graphene – could pave the way to silencing those prophylactic naysayers with a new-and-improved condom that’s stronger, thinner and safer than their current counterparts.
The University of Manchester has received a Grand Challenges Explorations Grant to the tune of $100,000 (£62,123) from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The money will be used to develop a new synthesis of nano-materials to create the range of next generation condoms. Read in full

Full question:
I started taking Rigevidon a couple of months ago and have had no issues with it. I am currently on my week of not taking a pill and my period hasn’t started. During the month I forgot to take the pill twice but remembered and took two at the same time the next day (on two occasions). Should I go see a doctor or is it normal for me to not get a period?
