The Human Tail✅️

While tails are extremely rare in human beings, temporary tail-like structures are present in the human embryo. These tails develop during the fifth or sixth week of human development before we are born. A tail is not found in most people at birth since the structure disappears or absorbs into the body.
Sometimes, however, the embryonic tail doesn't disappear and the baby is born with it. This is a true human tail.

The Human Tail is usually harmless and can be surgically removed.

While most experience mild or no symptoms, for some people ge***al herpes leads to painful ge***al sores and blisters that can recur throughout life. This can cause significant discomfort and require multiple healthcare visits.

Currently, there is no cure for herpes. Although treatments can relieve symptoms. New treatments and vaccines are needed to reduce the impacts of the herpes virus and control its spread.

THE University Teaching Hospital (UTH) says it has recorded 1,000 cases of erectile dysfunction, between September 2021 and September 2022, an indication that the issue is more common in Zambia than previously thought.

UTH urologist Robert Kachacha said in an interview that despite erectile dysfunction being prevalent, it remains a highly underreported condition.

Dr Kachacha said many men suffering from the condition do not seek medical help but instead opt to self-medicate or consult traditional healers.

“Erectile dysfunction is the inability to initiate or maintain an er****on throughout sexual intimacy, a condition that becomes more common after the age of 40,” he said.

Dr Kachacha said that while erectile dysfunction is often linked to aging due to a decline in testosterone and the onset of vascular diseases, it can also be an indicator of serious health issues.
