Blood testosterone levels are not routinely measured in health screening tests as it is not a common medical issue.
The topic of low testosterone only comes into play if a patient has symptoms that indicates low testosterone levels such as, sexual dysfunction, hot flashes or breast enlargement (gynaecomastia). Some less specific symptoms include, feeling depressed, fatigue, decreased strength and sense of vitality.[/info_list_item][/info_list][vc_empty_space height=”2em”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”11820″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1602667234358{margin-top: 3% !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][info_list font_size_icon=”24″ eg_br_width=”1″ connector_animation=”fadeInUp” css_info_list=”.vc_custom_1602664985958{margin-top: 2em !important;margin-bottom: 2em !important;}”][info_list_item list_title=”A weak erection is a sign of erectile dysfunction.” list_icon=”Defaults-comments” animation=”fadeInUp”]
The medical definition of erectile dysfunction is “the inability to attain and/or maintain penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance” or “the consistent or recurrent inability to attain and/or maintain penile erection sufficient for sexual satisfaction.” Therefore, yes a weaker erection is a feature of erectile dysfunction. If you’re experiencing weaker erection, then visit your doctor soon and learn what you can do to make it better.

Based on a cited research, ‘The Massachusetts Male Aging Study’ surveyed men from the age of 40 to 70 years and found an Erectile Dysfunction (ED) prevalence of 52 percent. This study also demonstrated that ED is increasingly prevalent with age and approximately 40 percent of men are affected at the age of 40 and nearly 70 percent are affected when they’re in their 70’s. The prevalence of complete ED increased from 5 percent at age 40 to 15 percent at age 70. So, it is not all in the head.[/info_list_item][/info_list][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”11826″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1602667248327{margin-top: 3% !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][info_list font_size_icon=”24″ eg_br_width=”1″ connector_animation=”fadeInUp”][info_list_item list_title=”Men do not need yearly prostate exams.” list_icon=”Defaults-comments” animation=”fadeInUp”]Not all men need an annual prostate exam. To understand this,you’ll need to know the two reasons to why prostate examinations are considered useful.
First, as men become older, degenerative processes can cause some men to develop prostate enlargement. Some men are aware of the changes manifested by the disturbance they might have encountered in their usual urinary habits, while others may not be aware of it or simply
choose to ignore the symptoms. On the other hand, the second reason is that, in some prostate, especially among older men, the gland can become cancerous, no matter if the prostate is enlarged or not.
For these two reasons, it is recommended that men have a discussion about prostate exams with a doctor once they have reached middle age. The frequency of examination can be adjusted according to the severity of the problem and risk factors.[/info_list_item][/info_list][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”11829″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1602667248327{margin-top: 3% !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][info_list font_size_icon=”24″ eg_br_width=”1″ connector_animation=”fadeInUp”][info_list_item list_title=”If a man’s penis is curved, there is something wrong with him.” list_icon=”Defaults-comments” animation=”fadeInUp”]Likely. Penises vary in shape and size, and having a curved erection isn’t necessarily a cause for concern. However, a curved penis can also be a disease and is commonly known as Peyronie’s Disease. It results from fibrous scar tissue that develops on the penis for unclear reasons, resulting in a curved penis. This is often accompanied with painful erections in the early stage of the disease. This can make it difficult for a man to have sexual relationships with their partner and can also be a reason for erectile dysfunction.[/info_list_item][/info_list][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”11832″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1602667248327{margin-top: 3% !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][info_list font_size_icon=”24″ eg_br_width=”1″ connector_animation=”fadeInUp”][info_list_item list_title=”A bigger penis equals more pleasure.” list_icon=”Defaults-comments” animation=”fadeInUp”]It is fairly common to meet a patient who worries about the size of his penis, when in actual fact, he does not have a small one following examination. For these men, there is a common sexual misconception about what a normal size penis is. However, concerns about penis size do affect men’s sexual satisfaction and functioning. The anxiety is also driven by the expectations that men have about women’s penis size preferences.
It is safe to assume that sexual pleasure is not influenced by a bigger size penis alone, but experience, attractiveness and relationship goals do matter.

Frequent urination, which is bothersome, can affect men and women across all ages. The strong urge to urinate can be very difficult to ignore. Oftentimes, some degree of pain or discomfort around the bladder can be felt if the urge is not satisfied. This isn’t a symptom that should be ignored, taken lightly or simply regarded as secondary to growing old. It could be a manifestation of several lower urinary conditions, such as bladder irritation from urinary tract infection, urinary stone, abnormal growth in the urinary-related organs, or excessive substances like caffeine being excreted in the urine. It is not ageing, so it is best to discuss these symptoms with a doctor soon.[/info_list_item][/info_list][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/ultimate_carousel][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1594189719583{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_text_separator title=”READ MORE” title_align=”separator_align_left” align=”align_right” color=”custom” border_width=”9″ accent_color=”#dd3333″ el_class=”read”][bs-grid-listing-1 columns=”3″ show_excerpt=”1″ title=”” icon=”” hide_title=”0″ heading_color=”” heading_style=”default” category=”14,29,13″ tag=”” count=”3″ post_ids=”” offset=”” featured_image=”0″ ignore_sticky_posts=”1″ author_ids=”” disable_duplicate=”0″ time_filter=”” order=”DESC” order_by=”date” _name_1=”” post_type=”” taxonomy=”” _name_2=”” cats-tags-condition=”and” cats-condition=”in” tags-condition=”in” tabs=”” tabs_cat_filter=”” tabs_tax_filter=”” tabs_content_type=”deferred” paginate=”none” pagination-show-label=”0″ pagination-slides-count=”3″ slider-animation-speed=”750″ slider-autoplay=”1″ slider-speed=”3000″ slider-control-dots=”off” slider-control-next-prev=”style-1″ ad-active=”0″ ad-after_each=”” ad-type=”” ad-banner=”none” ad-campaign=”none” ad-count=”” ad-columns=”1″ ad-orderby=”date” ad-order=”ASC” ad-align=”left” bs-show-desktop=”1″ bs-show-tablet=”1″ bs-show-phone=”1″ custom-css-class=”” custom-id=”” override-listing-settings=”0″ listing-settings=”” bs-text-color-scheme=”” css=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1594697216061{margin-bottom: -10% !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_custom_heading text=”5.0″ font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:60|text_align:right|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_custom_heading text=”Out of” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1594696759538{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”5 Stars” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1594697016740{margin-top: -6px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1594780415864{margin-bottom: -10% !important;margin-left: -4% !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md”][vc_custom_heading text=”5.0″ font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:45|text_align:center|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1594784592259{margin-bottom: -1% !important;}”][vc_column_text]
