Conditions & Diseases

We wouldn’t blame you if even hearing the words “testicular trauma” makes you shudder. No guy wants to think about getting hit in the most sensitive part of the body.

It’s normal for any guy to worry about why his testicles may be hurting. Of course, it’s always a good idea to see your healthcare provider if you have unexplained pain, but testicular pain has many possible causes that range from relatively harmless to serious.

Hard flaccid syndrome (HFS) is a condition where the penis remains partially erect, making it difficult to achieve a full erection or return to a completely flaccid state.

Sex should feel good, not painful. But for some men, it hurts. Male dyspareunia is the medical term for painful sexual intercourse in men.

Genophobia (also known as coitophobia) is a psychological condition characterized by a specific fear of sexual intercourse. Erotophobia is a related fear that more broadly focuses on a fear of sexual intimacy.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition characterized by difficulty or inability to get or maintain an erection firm enough for satisfying sexual activity.

The term “micropenis” is often used incorrectly to refer to a penis on the smaller side of average.

Venous leak (AKA veno-occlusive dysfunction) is a vasculogenic condition that affects the ability to maintain a satisfactory erection.

Orchitis is inflammation of one or both testicles. It’s usually caused by viral or bacterial infections. The name “orchitis” comes from the ancient Greek word for testicle.

Hyperprolactinemia is a medical condition characterized by elevated levels of prolactin in your blood.

Having an itchy beard is a common annoyance for men, regardless of what stage of growth it may be in—from stubble poking through to a full-length beard.

Scalp folliculitis is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles on the scalp become inflamed. This results in pustules, whiteheads, or other pimple-like bumps on the scalp that can be painful.
