Study: HPV vaccine prevents genital warts in males

news.yahoo.com — For the first time, an expensive vaccine aimed at preventing cervical cancer in women has proven successful at preventing a disease in men, according to a new study. The disease? It's genital warts, a sexually-transmitted problem that is embarrassing and uncomfortable but not life-threatening. Still, the results are expected to bolster a likely bid by the vaccine's manufacturer — Merck & Co. Inc. — to begin marketing the vaccine to boys, experts said. Merck plans to ask the government for that approval later this year. "This opens the door to a wonderful opportunity to prevent illness," said Anna Giuliano, a Tampa-based researcher who worked on the Merck-funded study. She is an epidemiologist at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. read more...

A Biological Clock for Dads Too

time.com — Turns out women aren't the only ones with an expiration date on their fertility. An emerging body of research is showing that men, too, have a "biological clock." Not only do men become less fecund as they age, but their fertility begins to decline relatively early — around age 24, six years or so before women's. Historically, infertility has been seen as a female issue, as has the increased risk of Down syndrome and other birth defects, but studies now also link higher rates of autism, schizophrenia and Down syndrome in children born to older fathers. A recent paper by researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institute found that the risk of bipolar disorder in children increased with paternal age, particularly in children born to men age 55 or older. read more...

ED Drug Relieves Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

health.yahoo.com — A daily dose of the erectile dysfunction drug tadalafil (Cialis) helped relieve lower urinary tract symptoms in men with signs of enlarged prostates, according to a new study. More than 50 percent of men age 50 and older have lower urinary tract symptoms, including increased urination frequency and urgency, straining, intermittence, incomplete emptying or a weak urinary stream. Current drugs used to treat the condition can produce side effects such as dizziness, low blood pressure and sexual dysfunction. read more...

Birth Control Options for Men

healthnews.com — Birth control has long been considered a woman’s responsibility. The only method available for men to reduce the risk of pregnancy for their partners other than abstinence has been the condom. However, with today’s technology, many birth control options for men have been emerging over the past few years. Although condoms are still a 75% effective form of birth control, most men do not favor them and there are complaints that some brands are not strong enough, or that a latex allergy prevents their use of condoms. Talk to your physician for more information on birth control for men and family planning approaches. Your age, health, and lifestyle play an important role in selecting an effective method that will keep both partners healthy and happy. read more...

Heavy Beer Consumption May Affect Pancreatic Cancer

healthnews.com — Pancreatic cancer is one of the least curable cancers in the United States. The cancer seems to elude doctors from early diagnosis, and late diagnosis results in a grim outlook for life. Patients with pancreatic cancer most often do not exhibit any signs of the disease until an advanced stage when the cancer has already spread throughout the body. Very few diagnosed cases are found to be operable. Even if a patient's case is found to be operable they are usually only given a five-year survival rate that most don't reach because of reoccurrence. The stubborn disease seems to survive all conventional treatment and despite intense research in this regard the prognosis for Pancreatic Cancer patients are very dim. Research on pancreatic cancer has shown many risk factors; they include age, race, gender, genetics, exercise practices, smoking, drinking and eating habits. Most cases do not occur until after age 65 and age is the strongest factor of the cancer. The pancreas produces very important hormones such as insulin, and helps to balance blood sugar. The organ is very important to the body's functions. So no, you can't just tell doctors to take it out and avoid the cancer. Therefore, you may want to rethink your exercise, eating, and bad habits (smoking and excessive drinking), and you may want to discuss your family's history and any concerns with your doctor. read more...

Men past 40 face fertility problems: researchers

nlm.nih.gov — BARCELONA (Reuters) - Couples trying to have a baby when the man is over 40 will have more difficulty conceiving than if he is younger, French researchers said on Sunday. Doctors know a woman's age plays a key role but the findings presented at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology conference suggest the paternal impact is stronger than has been thought, Stephanie Belloc and colleagues said. "Our data give evidence for the first time for a strong paternal effect on IUI (intrauterine insemination) outcome either on pregnancy rates but also on miscarriage rates," Belloc and her team from the Eylau Centre for Assisted Reproduction in France said. Other researchers have indicated that an overall decline in sperm counts and quality as a man ages is a factor but until now there has been little clinical proof that simply being an older man has such a big effect on fertility, the researchers said. read more...
