Research reviews

 

At Healthy Male, we regularly review and summarise research articles published in scientific and medical journals that are relevant to the growing evidence base in male reproductive and sexual health.

Our research reviews are for anyone with a professional or personal interest in male health, and cover a range of topics, including prostate disease, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, male infertility, androgen deficiency, and erectile dysfunction, as well as other emerging areas that are relevant to the health and wellbeing of Australian men.
