The term Androgenic Alopecia might sound technical and intimidating, but it is simply the medical name for the most common type of hair loss in the world. For Filipino men, it is more commonly known as male pattern baldness. If you are noticing a receding hairline, a thinning "bumbunan" (crown), or that your hair just does not feel as thick as it used to, it is overwhelmingly likely that Androgenic Alopecia is the cause.

If you have ever noticed an itchy, scaly, and circular rash on your scalp, you might be dealing with Tinea Capitis. More commonly known as scalp ringworm or "buni sa anit" in the Philippines, this condition is not caused by a worm at all, despite its name. It is a highly contagious fungal infection that affects the scalp and hair shafts, leading to significant irritation, itching, and sometimes patchy hair loss.

Many men experience a gradual decline in energy, sexual drive, and muscle strength as they age. However, sometimes these symptoms signal an underlying medical condition called male hypogonadism, where the body produces insufficient testosterone. Testosterone is a key hormone that affects many aspects of a man’s physical and emotional health, including libido, mood, muscle mass, and bone density. Despite its significance, male hypogonadism often goes undiagnosed, especially in the Philippines, where cultural stigma and lack of awareness can discourage men from seeking help.

This guide breaks down why ejaculation might hurt, what it could mean for your health, and what you can do about it. From urinary tract infections to prostate concerns, we’ll walk you through the most common causes and what steps to take next.

Scalp health is often overlooked, despite its direct impact on hair quality, comfort, and confidence. One of the more misunderstood conditions affecting the scalp is a yeast infection, which can easily be mistaken for common dandruff or dry scalp. In the Philippines, where heat and humidity dominate much of the year, scalp yeast infections are particularly prevalent but frequently go unrecognized or mismanaged.
