Impotence (Erectile Dysfunction) Symptoms

Erectile dysfunction is characterized by the regular or repeated inability to obtain or maintain an erection. There are several ways that erectile dysfunction is analyzed: Obtaining full erections at some times, such as when asleep (when the mind and psychological issues, if any, are less present), tends to suggest the physical structures are functionally working. However, the opposite case, a ''lack'' of nocturnal erections, does not imply the opposite, since a significant proportion of sexually functional men do not routinely get nocturnal erections or wet dreams. Obtaining erections which are either not rigid or full (''lazy erection''), or are lost more rapidly than would be expected (often before or during penetration), can be a sign of a failure of the mechanism which keeps blood held in the penis, and may signify an underlying clinical condition, often cardiovascular in origin....

Smoking May Make Hangovers Worse

New research suggests that your hangover will be worse if you smoke when you drink. People who smoke on a day when they have been drinking alcohol heavily are twice as likely to report hangover symptoms as those who only drank. In the study of college students, heavy drinking was defined as about five or six cans of beer in one hour. But substance abuse experts not affiliated with study are quick to point out that binge drinking and smoking -- alone and together -- can have far worse consequences than hangover symptoms. Smoking increases the risk for cancer, heart disease, and stroke, and binge drinking can lead to addiction, alcohol poisoning, car accidents, and unprotected sex. “In general, people smoke more when they drink because it counteracts some of the sedative effects of alcohol,” says researcher Damaris J. Rohsenow, PhD. She is a professor of behavioral and social sciences at the Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies at Brown University in Providence, R.I. . .

A type of sugar, D-mannose is often touted as a natural remedy for fending off urinary tract infections. Found naturally in a number of fruits, D-mannose is commonly sold in dietary supplement form. In test-tube studies, researchers have found that D-mannose can help stop certain bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract. These bacteria include Escherichia coli, the pathogen responsible for the vast majority of urinary tract infections. However, scientists have yet to explore D-mannose's effectiveness against urinary tract infections in clinical trials...
