Cyclists - Protect Your Assets

For the cycling fanatics out there a friendly word of advice - invest some money in a cycle that has a comfy gel-filled or pneumatic seat. If you opt for the traditional seats you may be putting your sex life at risk. There have been reports recently that have identified a sharp rise in cases of erectile dysfunction in men who cycle regularly. The figures are all the more startling when compared to other sportsmen.

Gel-filled bicycle seats can help you to avoid having to rely on products such as Viagra pills and Levitra to continue with a healthy and active sex life. There can be much damage done to the small blood vessels that are located between the scrotum and the anus. It is these blood vessels which allow blood to travel to the penis to maintain an erection. Cyclists can complain of feeling numbness or even pain in this area following prolonged cycling and this can lead to erectile dysfunction.

Skinny seats cause damage as the whole of the cyclists body weight rests on the scrotal area. Quick shifts in position that are demanded by some bicycle races can add to the damage and can make Viagra a required product for most male cyclists.

However don’t panic. If you like your weekend bike rides it is only constant pressure to the scrotal area that will result in problems. With new style bikes the risk is extremely low.

If you are suffering from erectile dysfunction at Pharmcy2U we have a wide range of medications to help with this problem.

Old Myths Surrounding Hair Loss

If you suffer from male hair loss you may be consoling yourself with the age old myth that men who lose their hair are more virile than men with flowing thick locks. This is a wonderful story and would perhaps be the silver lining for having to go through the balding process but unfortunately it is not strictly true and has derived from a mixture of facts.

It is most likely this particular myth developed from the fact that male hair loss is caused when high levels of testosterone, the male hormone, are found present in the body. It is also true that testosterone ensures that men maintain their manliness and virility. However although virility is linked to testosterone and male pattern hair loss is triggered when high levels of the hormone are present, baldness is caused by another form of the hormone, DiHydro Testosterone or DHT. An enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase causes DHT to be produced in the body when it acts on testosterone. High levels of the hormone cause the hair follicles to shrink.

If you do start to notice your hair is thinning, act quickly rather than sitting back and congratulating yourself on your impressive virility. There are some excellent oral medications such as Regaine that can help you to stimulate the hair follicles and beat hair loss. Minoxidil is the active drug that will help you to beat the baldness.
