Noseless saddles could reduce erectile dysfunction?
The Journal of Sexual Medicine recently conducted a study and found that men who switched from traditional bike seats to noseless saddle seats reported improved penile sensation and a reduction in erectile dysfunction.
Cycling police officers in five areas of the US were the subjects of the study, swapping their conventional seats for the noseless designs. The 90 participants spent six months riding on the seats, with those saying they had not experienced penile numbness rising from 27% to 82% as a result. It was also reported that 97% of the participants continued to use the new seats after the study.
Impotence drugs help treat brain tumours
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Impotence drugs may help carry cancer-fighting drugs through the brain to treat malignant tumours, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.
Tests in rats showed two erectile dysfunction drugs — Schering-Plough’s Levitra and Pfizer’s Viagra — helped carry a chemotherapy drug past the blood-brain barrier, the team at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles said.
Rats with brain tumours lived 42 days when injected with the cancer drug adriamycin. But when they also got Levitra, known generically as vardenafil, the rats survived an average of 53 days. Levitra appeared to be more effective, the researchers reported in the journal Brain Research.
Erectile Dysfunction and Multiple Sclerosis.
If you have Multiple Sclerosis (MS), there are serious problems to address. Your immune system is mistakenly attacking your myelin sheath - the coating that surrounds the nerves and nerve fibres in your brain. The standard treatment uses interferon beta (Avonex and Rebif, and Betaseron), glatiramer acetate (Copaxone), and mitoxantrone (Novantrone) to modify the immune system and so reduce the number and severity of attacks. But there is no long-term cure.
More sex may prevent erectile dysfunction
Finnish researchers have given new meaning to the phrase “use it or lose it,” reporting that more sexual intercourse may help prevent erectile dysfunction.
A study published in the July issue of The American Journal of Medicine found erectile dysfunction incidence was 79 cases per 1,000 in men who had reported having sexual intercourse less than once per week — dropping to 32 cases per 1,000 in men reporting intercourse once per week and falling further to 16 per 1,000 in those reporting intercourse three or more times per week.
Frequent Intercourse may avert Erectile Dysfunction
As against the accepted notion that ’sex reduces with age and aging men are at a higher risk of Erectile Dysfunction (ED),’ a new study has come out with astonishing result that says ‘frequent sex augments erectile capacity of men.’
Erectile Dysfunction is a medical term, which defines: “The repeated inability of the male partner to attain or sustain an erection firm enough to carry-on and complete a sexual intercourse.
Ageing men who don’t take part in frequent sexual intercourse with their partner gradually lose their erection capacity and rather develop the ED. And, once reaching at the ED stage they gradually get distracted from the sexual activities and then despite heartiest desire could not satisfy their partner.
