Mens Problems

When we speak of "men's problems" what we are referring to are problems that are peculiar to men, i.e. sexual problems, and these can have either a physical or psychological cause. Even in this enlightened age many chaps may be shy about asking their doctor about such problems so this article is intended to bring some light to bear on the subject, and how sometimes drugs can help prevent mens problems The main types of sexual problems that men can have are impotence (or erectile dysfunction), and premature ejaculation.

Many if not most men have experienced the odd time when they could not get an adequate erection, and this might be psychological such as the fear of underperforming or just not being aroused, or could be physical due to say, too much alcohol or just sheer exhaustion.

If one experiences erectile dysfunction on a continuing basis though, it is wise to seek medical advice as there may be an underlying health problem. A common cause in the older man is narrowing of the small arteries in the penis due to atherosclerosis, i.e. fatty deposits that adhere to the lining of the arteries. This prevents sufficient blood reaching the penis to cause the engorgement that is necessary for an erection. Atherosclerosis is a potentially serious condition because it can also affect arteries supplying the heart, causing a heart attack, or arteries to the brain, causing a stroke. (more...)

What to expect after a laser eye surgery

You are thinking about having laser eye surgery but are not able to make a decision based on the fact that you do not know what to expect after the surgery. Well, one of the first things that you will most likely experience is not being able to see anything thing after the surgery except for blurred lights until your vision starts to recover. Anesthetic eye drops are normally used to numb the eyes during the surgery. As the drops begin to wear off after the surgery, your eye may fell dull and achy.

You may also experience a burning sensation in your eye or excessive dryness or watering which may prompt you to want to touch your eye. After a laser eye surgery, you should refrain from touching your eye since that this can damage the corneal flap of the eye which may result in an infection or the need for extra surgery.

Once your vision has recovered to the extent that you can travel home, you will be allowed to go home under the supervision of a family member or a friend. Within 48 hours of the surgery, you will be required to have a check-up with your surgeon. During this check-up, you will most likely receive several different types of eye drops. These eye drops will most likely include antibiotics to prevent your eye from becoming infected and artificial tears to keep your eyes from becoming excessively dry. In order to make sure that your eye will heal properly, you need to visit your surgeon regularly and follow his advice. The drops should be used following his guidelines as well. (more...)
