Although Women's Health has been in the news for over a century, it is only recently that the world has come to realise that Men suffer considerable morbidity as well as mortality from 'Male Diseases' such as Prostate Cancer, Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy, Erectile Dysfunction (Impotence), Male Infertility and Testicular Cancer.

Suite 101's section on Men's Health covers other topics that affect Men such as Depression , Diabetes , Premature Ejaculation and Heart Disease - and information is also provided about matters men may find useful - such as Vasectomy and Male Hormone Deficiency.

Our aim is to inform and educate readers about all these topics in what we believe is an interesting and entertaining style.
