GlossaryHypospadias

congenital condition where urethral opening is on penis underside

Hypospadias is a congenital condition in males where the opening of the urethra is located on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip. This can affect urination and, later in life, sexual function. Treatment often involves surgical correction to reposition the urethral opening and ensure proper function.

community How is it that golden era bodybuilders kept their hair while blasting gear while in the modern era most are bald? I’m convinced there’s something in our food and water causing MPB to speed up

in Satire 726 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation is about the difference in hair loss between bodybuilders in the "Golden Era" and modern bodybuilders. Some users speculate that factors such as the types and doses of steroids used, genetics, diet, microplastics, and overall health may contribute to hair loss. Hair loss prevention medication and transplants are mentioned as potential treatments.
