Megan Fox Stars in Bold Ro Sparks Ad, Asks Creators to Tone Down Innuendos

Megan Fox has signed a long-term deal with telehealth company Ro to star in a new campaign for its erectile dysfunction medication, Ro Sparks. In the ads, Fox wears a red suit and personifies the drug, using humor and double entendres to destigmatize the condition. Fox told People that the original script was so bold she asked the team to dial it back. Ro argues that featuring a woman helps normalize the topic, as ED affects couples. The compounded treatment, which combines sildenafil and tadalafil, is not FDA-approved.

Biohackers push ED drugs as longevity hacks amid uncertain science

Biohackers are promoting erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra and Cialis as longevity boosters, claiming vascular benefits and broader health perks, but there’s no conclusive evidence for life extension and these meds aren’t approved for preventing heart attack/stroke or extending life; some cardiology experts see potential preventive roles, though mainstream guidance remains cautious.

ED Drug Cialis Linked to Higher Glaucoma Risk, Study Finds

A large observational study of about 74,000 men aged 40+ found that tadalafil (Cialis), used for erectile dysfunction and urinary symptoms, was associated with a 22% higher risk of glaucoma (33% for primary open-angle glaucoma) and a 32% higher risk of ocular hypertension. The researchers caution that the design cannot prove causation, but regular eye exams may be advisable for users, especially those with predispositions, given widespread tadalafil use (millions of prescriptions in 2024).

Low T myths: common symptoms may mask bigger health problems

Experts warn that signs often blamed on low testosterone—such as reduced sex drive, low energy, and erectile dysfunction—can reflect other health issues like depression, sleep apnea, thyroid problems, anemia, or diabetes. With online testosterone replacement therapy on the rise, many men are prescribed testosterone without proven low levels (only about 12% of those prescribed actually have low T). A full medical evaluation is essential, as symptoms may stem from multiple conditions rather than low T alone.

Erectile dysfunction: a canary in the coal mine for men's health

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common and often under-discussed, but it can signal broader health risks. Research links ED to higher chances of coronary heart disease and stroke, particularly in older men, and to diabetes-related complications and possibly dementia. ED serves as a vascular health indicator; addressing it with clinicians can prompt screening and lifestyle changes that may reduce risk, while treatments like sildenafil exist, with evolving evidence on broader health outcomes.

Doctors warn that the penis often changes with age: the skin sags due to collagen loss, gradual size changes occur with weight gain, scar tissue can cause Peyronie’s curvature, phimosis may develop in uncircumcised men, erectile dysfunction becomes more common from reduced blood flow, and skin cancer risk exists—though lifestyle factors like sleep, diet, and exercise can slow many of these changes and regular medical care helps manage them.

Soft morning erections could signal hidden heart trouble, doctors warn

A Health feature explains that erectile dysfunction can be an early warning sign of cardiovascular disease, with reduced night-time erections and less rigidity as early clues; underlying issues like high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity may be involved, and lifestyle changes (more exercise, Mediterranean-style diet, good sleep) plus medical treatments (Viagra/Cialis and vacuum devices) can help improve function and potentially avert serious health problems.
