I imagine the thought of this might make men's eyes water a bit, but really good news...make sure your male patients are aware.

That's a shocker, isn't it? Especially as P just celebrated his 61st birthday last week, eek! Men are dying needlessly young. One man in five dies before the age of 65 (and 40% of men die before the age of 75).Why? Because three-quarters of premature deaths from heart disease are male, three-quarters of suicides are male and …
In the UK one in five men will die before their 65th birthday. The biggest health risks for men over 50 are prostate cancer closely followed by cardiovascular issues. Whilst for younger men suicide is the biggest killer. Jonathan Cohen What an awful set of statistics! We really must do better at supporting our younger men, …
Just done my first results for this new test from FDX. Whoa! SO worth doing! Not cheap by any means, but it checks a LOT of things and those are then analysed algorithmically to produce a report.

We all have those moments where we just can't find the right words, let alone recall what we walked into a room for, but from perimenopause onward (which can be up to several years before actual menopause), many women (and men) find brain fog and cognitive skills get even worse.

Keeping a mobile (cell) phone in the pocket can damage sperm, and affect a man’s fertility. Sperm number and movement, or motility, is affected by electromagnetic radiation when a mobile phone is carried around in trouser pockets, say researchers. Researchers from the University of Exeter analysed 10 studies, involving 1,492 men, and found that nine …
Fascinating report suggesting that low grade prostate cancer tends not to progress over time according to researchers in the US. Looking at cancer tissues taken from more than 1,200 prostate cancer patients between 1982 and 2004, the researchers found - surprisingly, they said - that the low-grade cancers invariably remained as such. They found a …
