YOU: The Owner's Manual, Updated and Expanded Edition: An Insider's Guide to the Body that Will Make You Healthier and Younger

Although slang for an erect penis may indicate otherwise, the human is one of the few mammals that doesn't have a bone in the penis. Many animals have a bone structure called the bacula to help them achieve and maintain erections; humans don't have them because they're cumbersome and prone to injury and because they've developed a better system. The human's penis works on a transportation system of veins and arteries that supply blood to the organ to make it erect. Because men don't have bony structures that could get in the way, they can have a disproportionately large penis for their bodies. Really. Compared to many other primates, the human penis is larger. This helps with attracting child-bearing partners. But the trade-off is that the human male's testes are tiny compared to other species like chimpanzees. When a female chimp goes into heat, she copulates with as many males as she can in order to ensure that she produces offspring. All the adult males then protect the child because it could be theirs. So chimp testes need to be big to produce large quantities of sperm because their sperm fight with other sperm for the right to the egg. Because human males theoretically don't have to compete with other men, their testes don't need to produce an oil rig's worth of sperm. Their testes don't need to be as large (and thank goodness-considering how many times men's groins have been greeted by an errant baseball).

And for years, antioxidant rich Vitamin E supplements were believed to help prevent prostate cancer among other conditions.

One of summer's favorite fruits have some surprising benefits for men. Hi, I'm Dr. Oz. Watermelon is loaded with a compound that increases blood flow, much of the same way prescription performance drugs do for erectile dysfunction. The compound is Citrulline which your body converts to L-arginine, some blood vessel relaxer that enhances circulation to all your vital parts. In a recent study, 24 middle aged guys with mild erection problems took this Citrulline supplement for a month, half said their difficulties cleared up, and they had sex more often. Now there are many sources for Citrulline, almonds, cantaloupe, chick peas, cocoa, even dark chocolate, but none come close to delivering the amount of Citrulline down in watermelon. American experts have found that knocking back a couple of glasses of watermelon juice a day raises blood levels of L-arginine significantly.

Make sure you're using a thick creamy gel or cream to shave your legs or whatever it is that you're shaving, and then afterwards make sure you put a nice hydrating lotion or cream on your legs afterwards. 

For men with their beards after they shave, they need to use some type of an SPF with a lotion in it, that way they are hydrating their face, and they're sun-blocking their face, that's very important.

To prevent razor burn, don't press the razor blade too hard on your skin, make sure you use a thick shave cream, and always moisturize after shaving. In this video, dermatologist Jeanine Downie, MD, shares her tips for avoiding painful razor burn.

In terms of treatments for razor bumps with over the counter products you can look for benzoyl peroxides, a lot of people just think toner or Witch Hazel does it and it doesn't necessarily. Don't pick at the razor bumps at all and if they get bad seek the help of a board certified dermatologist.

People don't replace their razor blades often enough, so the bottom line is it depends on how thick your hair is, let's assume you're shaving your legs everyday and you have very thick hair. You should be changing your blade every five days, certainly absolutely every seven days. 

And if you have thinner hair, you should be changing your blade about every 10 days. With men with shaving, again it depends on how thick their hair is, but for my male patients, I really want them to change their blade once every four to five days period, especially if they're shaving consecutively, because men have thick hair on their beard area, and then the androgen and the testosterone that they have the male hormones, just makes it spread out faster hence the 5 o'clock shadow, so they really need to be vigilant. 

What you want to do is you want to use a thick, rich cream or gel-based rather to shave your legs, shave your face, shave your armpits, wherever it is that you are shaving. You want to make sure you are not shaving with just a thin amount of soap and water because it doesn't do as good at job and you're making razor bumps.

It depends how thick your hair is, but men and women should change their razor blade every 4-7 days for optimal results. Watch as dermatologist Jeanine Downie, MD, explains why it's important to change your blade and how to get a smooth, close shave.

How Do I Know When My Razor Blade Needs to Be Replaced?

Hi, Dr. Miller with a health tip for the guys. Make sure you're getting plenty of folates. Now you might have heard that women need folates. That's because folate helps prevent birth defects, but you need it just as much. Recent research finds that 700 micrograms of folate a day helps prevent hearing loss and keeps your arteries young. 

It also lowers homocysteine. That's an amino acid that can raise your risk of heart disease and maybe dementia too. You're probably getting about 300 micrograms of folate in the food you eat. That's partly because many foods including bread and breakfast cereal have been enriched with folic acid since the 1990s. 

In addition to fortified foods, you should load up on spinach, lentils and dried beans. A cup of cooked spinach has 131 micro grams of folate. A half cup of cooked black eyed peas adds another 105 micro grams. You can get the other the micro grams of folate you need in a multivitamin. I'm Dr. Miller.

Well, like every patient that comes in, we want to really evaluate at the physical therapist, and look at those specific back problem. Usually what we find, is people either tend to have more relief with bending over, flexion like knees to chest or extension. If I had it generalized, what we talked about, previously on the Dr. Oz show was about men needing more flexion off them because they're very stiff if in the lower back where they have spinal stenosis . 

So, we would tend to put them in positions where they're more flexed, with their knees bent up, and supported in that position. If a man has a back pain, if he suffers with back pain, sometimes the best position for him is to be on his back, having a pillow supporting his lower back, keeping that curvature supported, or he can be, let's say that's more for somebody who wants to be in extended position or neutral position, also if he is in kneeling, that is more of a flex position that can help his back.

One of the things I talk about quite frequently with my patients is that sometimes women who have kids, or who don't have kids but have a busy career, feel like they're getting lost in the shuffle. And it's very important for us to make sure that we stay centered in who we are. 

That we stay true to what's important to us. And in order to do that you have to take time for yourself. You don't have to sit and meditate. It doesn't have to be by a babbling brook. You can just sit on your couch, even if it's just reading a book that you've been meaning to read, 20 or 30 minutes a day, have a nice juice spritzer, or if you feel like it, treat yourself to a glass of wine. 

But have some time for yourself where you're not worried about everybody else. If you don't take care of yourself, you're not going to be there for everybody else. Having a career and five kids, I am kind of a slave to a schedule, so, what I've done is, schedule my me time to my day, and at eight o'clock every night after my little ones are in bed. 

I have 30 minutes of me time or, I'll sit and just be quiet or have a glass of wine, my family knows that that is sacred time, and they're not to interrupt me.
