snood makes a good point....reading the article, I am happy that the head scientist doesn't subscribe to the blindness and hairy palms theory
Curable if detected in time. Unfortunately, many young men don't have their testicular abnormalites examined by an MD in time to advance a mode of early intervention.

Another lucky patient for seeking medical treatment in time. :wink:

No, what this means is that men wth nonneoplatic prostates may eventually develope BPH and have to urinate every hour on the hour, all night long! :wink: Or...wear adult diapers
I notice that in the past 3 years, since turning 40, I have been growing hir from my my ears and my eyebrows have been growing. It was also at that time I divorced my wife. Perhaps the frequent masturbation that accompanie a divirce also resulted in a healthy prostate and excess hair. I know I feel MUCH better since the divorce. And I'm havng more orgasms...
