hi dr harper
i seem to be like the only guy to write a comment, but anyway i was woundering if its not normal to have started to grow pubic hair and two years on, having no other changes to your body, such as a broken vioce, facial hair or at least a penis size that is'nt embarassingly tiny. im turning 15 years old and those problems apply to me.

btw, i can't give my first name because it is a very rare name and people who know me will find out. so i wrote my nickname.

Dear Dr Harper
Is there any connection between the use of deoderants, aftershave, facial creams or any other appliances to the skin and Cancer? There seems to be an increase in Cancer these days and I was wondering if any research as been done on this theory?

Hi Dr Harper
I saw the episode in which you discussed varicoceles. I was disappointed to see that you talked about freezing sperm but did not make any mention of the minor procedure available to embolise the vein.
I am 32 years old and had a very large varicocele, causing an extremely low sperm count, < 600k/ml, and had this procedure, which took 30 minutes. Within 2 months my wife became pregnant naturally.
There was clearly no need in my case to freeze sperm.
We now have a beautiful baby daughter who is 7 months old.
