By Dr. Michael Kemper I was recently invited to co-host a radio segment for “The Weekly Check-Up” on 95.5 FM WSB. We discussed several topics, but I was most struck by the questions and feedback I received from listeners regarding erectile dysfunction or ED.  I believe the candid conversation I had with the host, Dr. Bruce Feinberg, about the pervasiveness and realities of ED was valuable to listeners, so I wanted to highlight some of the key takeaways and “what people really want to know but are too embarrassed to ask” answers from our talk. How is ED defined and when should you get h ..read more

By Dr. Michael Garcia-Roig What Is Phimosis? Let’s define what foreskin is before talking about phimosis. The foreskin, or prepuce, is the extra protective penile skin extending about half an inch beyond the tip of the head of the penis, or glans, protecting that part of the penis. Phimosis is the penile skin that cannot be pulled back to expose the head of the penis. This is almost always normal in children as the skin can be retracted in only 4% of newborns. Those areas of attachment of the foreskin on the penis are called preputial adhesions. The skin will eventually slowly detach itself wi ..read more

The testes come down to the scrotum through the groin, also called the inguinal canal, by a complic ..read more
