Even though most of people have heard of impotence, there are still large numbers of misconceptions surrounding this condition. One of the most given definitions is the inability to achieve an erection or keep it long enough in order to complete a coitus. Erectile dysfunction is more widespread than people believe and it is estimated that more than 30 million men suffer from it in the United States alone.
Male pattern baldness affects millions of men all over the world, even younger than twenty years of age. Even though it is absolutely normal for men to lose some hair, when patches start appearing and the hair does not grow back, then we can speak of baldness. It does not affect all men in the same way – some lose just a bit of hair, others lose all of it, and in extreme cases all bodily hair is lost.
Pattern baldness is characterized by hair loss and the male pattern baldness (or MPB) is its most widespread form. The MPB is believed to affect about 75 per cent of men that are 80 years old or older. It is also known that the MPB usually affects men older than 30 years and the first sings can be seen in men that are in their twenties.
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is very common, however, most of us don't actually realize the damage that it can cause in the long run. If left untreated hypertension damages kidneys, brain, heart and arteries. The effect of hypertension on our arteries leads to aneurysm, atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis and the negative impact on the heart causes coronary artery disease, heart failure and enlarged left heart.
