    Priapism may be treated by going up and down stairs

    My urologist prescribed bimix (weaker version of trimix) penile injections. He advised me to try it at home first. I used not quite 20 units which he said was the lowest dose that I should try. It worked so well that I ended up in the ER for four hours with priapism. I tried the nasal spray...

    Staying in love with your partner.

    I read this in a book, and I think it just about sums it up: One always thinks that exquisitely happy time at the beginning of a relationship was the ultimate, the feeling we always try to replicate, to get back, but that is wrong. That's like comparing sparkling mineral water to French...
