Accutane dangers

Photo of acutane pillAccutane is a remarkably effective drug for acne but also something that has way too many dangerous side effects. Risks of Accutane have been highlighted over the years and calls for recall made but it continues to be on the market with additional warnings.

Yet another study shows that the medication may actually hurt the heart and the liver. So women suffering from adult acne have very little choice but to take the drug but stay in close contact with their physician so that any problems can be dealt with immediately. And of course, at least two types of birth control should be used to eliminate any possibility of pregnancy.

Poor sperm quality

Photo of a fat guy on a bathroom scaleRight now if you do not know that being fat is bad, you are either a moron or living under a stone. This is not the place to discuss all the complications associated with being overweight, but I want to highlight one major problem for men who want to make a baby but are fat. It is widely documented that pregnancy for obese women is a huge risk and fertility of overweight women is much lower than that of physically fit ladies.

New research from University of Aberdeen by Ghiyath Shayeb says that obese men have lower sperm count than normal-weight men, their sperms are also of poor quality and could have damaged DNA raising the risk of birth abnormalities. In other words their sperms do not move fast and far enough, and are therefore, incapable of fertilization, and are thus a major cause of infertility in men.

The net result is that unless the woman is very healthy and could compensate for a man's sperm problems, it is best that obese people first get on a weight loss program before considering to become parents.

Men infertility

Photo depicting the process of fertilization of egg and spermUntil now it was believed that if a woman over 40 was trying to pregnant and she was not having success it was because her eggs were just too old. Unless a man had a low sperm count, the thinking was that the man had nothing to do with infertility.

Not any more. A new study suggests that if a couple is unable to conceive it is because the man is over 35. The probability of a pregnancy drops further if he is past 40.

Such advanced age couples (the medical term for couples who are too old for having healthy babies), even if they get pregnant, are more likely to suffer from miscarriages or have babies born with genetic disorders. (Related: How to get pregnant after 40)

So what are the options for these mature couples?

In the past, it was recommended that a woman choose donor eggs and a whole fertility treatment industry evolved in countries like the Czech Republic. Now it seems that unless you are a mature woman married to a younger man, donor eggs may not be the best idea for an IVF.

The best alternative would be to adopt a child or get a surrogate mother using both donated sperm and egg, if necessary. The world is already populated and unless you are an Albert Einstein or Virgin Mary or Mozart or Picasso there really is no need for you to reproduce.

Watermelon is Viagra

Photo of a slice of water melonWe now know that despite Viagra being one of the most dangerous drugs on the market (Viagra can make you blind without warning and you can also suffer sudden hearing loss), it serves such an important role in our lives that most couples will continue to take the risk.

What if similar results could be achieved by natural means?

Well, it has long been known that physically fit men do not suffer from erectile dysfunction and it helps a great deal if you do not suffer from diabetes. Now, a group of scientists led by Bhimu Patel has found that watermelon has many of the same benefits as Viagra.

Obviously, the chemicals that work the same way as Viagra does are in much lower concentration and do not target that specific organ, for anyone with only mild ED or those who do not like to inject dangerous drugs into their bodies, this is a great alternative.

And if you are a healthy, physically fit man, it is a great idea to include a slice of fresh watermelon in your diet, particularly when you know you are going to be active in the bed.
