No lie, men place a lot of importance on their penis, including its appearance. Most men want to possess a piece of equipment that fits their definition of impressive, which might encompass size, skill, endurance, appearance or other qualities. Often appearance is given a special emphasis, even over penis health, and in such cases, a man with a severely bent penis may feel he comes up short. Worse, a severely bent penis can bring with it performance issues and even physical pain. In such ins...

Erectile dysfunction: two of the most terrifying words a man can ever hear in connection with his penis health. Yet it’s something which is not uncommon. According to one source, about 10% of men between the ages of 40 and 70 have severe or complete erectile dysfunction, and 25% more have moderate or intermittent cases of it. That’s a full one-third of men in that age range affected to some degree by erectile difficulties. That’s one reason why it’s important to know the possible cau...

Men with a severely bent penis, a condition frequently known as Peyronie’s disease, often experience some penis health challenges. Men and their doctors usually focus on the physical difficulties and complications of having a substantially bent penis, but there can be complications in other areas as well.

While it’s important to rule out physiological sources behind poor penis health, men should not discount the role emotional states play in physical well-being or lack thereof.

Depression is believed to be more common in women than in men; the National Institute for Clinical Excellence reports that as many as 1 in 4 women are diagnosed with depressive symptoms at some point in their lives, while a more modest 1 male in 10 is likely to present with the symptoms of depression. However, it is believed that depression in men is underdiagnosed, partly because men are less likely to report symptoms, and partly because the symptoms in males tend to be somewhat different. ...

For many men - and women - depression can be severely debilitating, affecting all aspects of life. Even sexual health can fall victim to symptoms of depression, unless the sufferer seeks help and takes the appropriate steps to improve both the emotional and physical symptoms. For men, this can mean adding some extra steps to their penis care routine.
