You've given up coffee and soda. You've followed your doctor's suggestions for bladder retraining. But bladder control remains a problem. What else can you do? Ask your doctor about medication options.
Effective medication has long been available for people with urge incontinence — a bladder control problem marked by sudden, intense urinary urges and urine leakage. Now new medications are becoming available for stress incontinence — urine leakage prompted by a physical movement or activity, such as coughing, sneezing or heavy lifting — and for overactive bladder — sudden urges to urinate t

Many men occasionally ejaculate sooner during sexual intercourse than they or their partner would like. As long as it happens infrequently, it's probably not cause for concern. However, if you regularly ejaculate sooner than you and your partner wish — such as before intercourse begins or shortly afterward — you may have a condition known as premature ejaculation.
Premature ejaculation is a common sexual disorder. Estimates vary, but some experts think it affects as many as one out of three men. Even though it's a common problem that can be treated, many men feel embarrassed to talk to their doctors about it or seek t

* A side effect of certain medications, including some antidepressants

What is Peyronie disease?
Peyronie's disease is an abnormal curvature of the penis caused by scar tissue in the erectile tissue. Because the scar tissue prevents straightening of the penis, the curvature is most obvious during an erection. The curvature may be so severe that it prevents penetration during intercourse.
Peyronie's disease occurs over a wide range of ages, with some men as young as 18.
What causes Peyronie's disease?
Although the exact cause of Peyronie's disease is unknown, some experts believe the scarring is caused by injury to the pen

Tests for erection problems can help find a cause for a man's problem in having or maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction or impotence). Erectile dysfunction is a common male problem. Most erection problems are caused by a combination of blood vessel, nerve, or psychological issues.
Physical conditions that may cause erection problems include:
* Problems with the nerves of the penis. Conditions such as multiple sclerosis or diabetes may cause nerve damage that affects a man's ability to have an erection. Also, surgery, injury, or radiation treatment to the pelvic area may cause da

They say "Congratulations! It's a girl!" or "It's a boy!" Often these are the first words uttered when a baby is born. This utterance is based on the genitals visible between the newborn's legs.
From then onwards the infant's fate is sealed and his or her training starts in earnest. A boy is given toys like guns, cars, tanks and construction kits. Girls are given dolls, kitchen sets and sewing kits. Society even decides which color the baby will wear - blue for a boy and pink for a girl.
This gender-related difference continues throughout a child's upbringing, eventually resulting in an adult wh

Minoxidil (2% or 5% solution) is a spray or lotion that you put directly on your scalp twice a day. It is available without a prescription.
How It Works
It is unclear how minoxidil affects hair growth. Minoxidil appears to increase hair follicles and increase the diameter of hair shafts.
Minoxidil has been approved for both men and women.
Why It Is Used
Minoxidil was originally used to treat high blood pressure. It is now also used to treat inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), the most common cause of hair loss. And it is used to treat

Alprostadil is used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) and to help diagnose certain causes of this disorder. Alprostadil is also used to improve blood flow in newborn babies with a certain genetic heart condition. This alprostadil medication guide addresses only the adult male use of this medication in erectile disorders.
The injectable form of alprostadil is injected into the side of the penis. The transurethral form is a very small suppository (pellet) that is inserted into the opening of the penis (the urethra).

You can buy dipstick test kits without a doctor's order (nonprescription) to use at home to check for urinary tract infections (UTIs). Talk to your doctor about using a test kit. Make sure that your doctor knows about any abnormal test results, so that a urinary problem is not missed.
The urinary tract consists of the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Urine in the bladder normally is sterile—it does not contain any bacteria or other organisms (such as fungi). But bacteria can enter the urethra during urination.
