[quote]Is this generally a urologist?[/quote] Some primary care providers will do it depending on their training. Urologists and endocrinologists are probably the most reliable for formal training....

Just going to take this opportunity to make some comments here, none of which is official medical advice. :) First, make sure you're going to a physician who was actually trained to do this. T clinics are notorious for picking up physicians who quit what they were trained to do in order to do s...
[quote]I googled it and saw all these as well. Pain is not that intense. Just a strong discomfort. Doesn't seem like torsion. Made an appt for Tuesday with my primary care dr.[/quote] As a urologist, this is the right first step. NSAIDs like ibuprofen and Aleve are the best pain medications ...
[quote]Could be a number of things going on: 1. Folks were more reluctant to admit to either teh ghey or ED in the 80s[/quote] Can't speak to homosexuality, but you wouldn't have seen anything about ED because Viagra came out in the late 90s. As soon as they got FDA approval for ED, that's when ...

[quote]50 years ago the players weren't spoiled divas that think they are God's gift to this earth and that they are owed something. Players today aren't just satisfied with having the opportunity to get a free education, free housing, and free meals. Now schools have to offer them money for them to...
Looks like he did have surgery for it, but just for clarity - it typically spares the wiener and eats up the scrotum pretty badly....
Fournier's gangrene. It's necrotizing fasciitis of the groin/scrotum and the smell takes 24 hours to get out of your nose. From what I understand any necrotizing infection smells like this, but Fournier's is what I deal with....
From my dad: "I find that the harder I work, the luckier I get." And from my grandpa while we were building our house: "Don't drink more than you can sweat out, because we don't take bathroom breaks."...
[quote]I state "Big Bang is a myth".[/quote] It's because that statement is false. It's a theory, and as such is subject to being proven incorrect. If that happens, there's no downside, we have learned more. But it hasn't happened yet. What stance are you taking here? You seem to rag on the ...
[quote]The entire proof of the big bang rests on the fact that no one understands the big bang. It'a a magic black box of science. Literally makes up the rules to fit the theories at hand.[/quote] Amazing....
[quote]Science is wrong, more than it is right. They are going to have Universe evolution pretty wrong in the end. It is scary how many people here that do not question it and just regurgitate what they have been told or read by our "experts"[/quote] The more you keep saying this the more I don't t...
[quote]And yet it is atheists who most often attempt to use science to disprove the existence of God.[/quote] That's sort of by definition. You would be unlikely to find a theist trying to disprove god's existence by any method. Does this mean they're religious zealots as well by trying to twist ...
[quote]That sounds an awful lot like some “we don’t know but want to claim we do” bullshite[/quote] That's how theories work. There's something you don't know and you postulate how based on information you have currently. From there you search for evidence to support it or disprove it. Not sure ...
[quote]Only if you define everything as everything in the reach or influence of the big bang.[/quote] I believe we call that the "universe". [quote]An explosion is an explosion. It's just a matter of scale. How do you apply that to what we're observing?[/quote] The big bang was a universal explos...
[quote]My understanding is that the "big bang" marks the beginning of the expansion of space outward from a single point[/quote] The hardest thing to conceptualize about the big bang is that it happened everywhere all at once. It's hard to comprehend the size and scale of it when we try to fit it ...
[quote]They could largely work due to the placebo effect.[/quote] This is why we have placebo-controlled trials. That way you don't have to hand-wave on a forum about it. Oh, wait....

re: Just shake my phucking hand

You would be surprised at what people will do and not wash their hands. During genital exams at my office, people will grab their junk with their bare hands and not wash them when they leave to check out. You're probably getting some dried up ball soup from someone's hands during a handshake thi...

[quote]In economics, what does this cause?[/quote] We currently spend more per capita on prescription drugs than any other country. On top of that, we also pay more out of pocket than anybody else. Are we that convinced the system we use regarding pharmaceuticals is superior?...
