504: Below the Belt

In today’s episode, Laurie is joined by Urologist and men’s health expert Dr. Dan Khera-McRackan of Raleigh, NC. Men of varied ages experience issues with premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction and prostate health. Dr. Dan joins us today to reassure men and provide confidence in seeking treatment for these issues. He explains how hormones impact male anatomy, that anxiety is often a driver of ED and successful ways to break this cycle including medicine and psychotherapy. While these experiences may be temporarily embarrassing with treatment, support and communication they are often easily resolved and improve relationship health. They warn against ignoring these issues because you may be feeling embarrassed as they could be indicators of underlying health conditions. Both experts recommend that men seek treatment early and begin having regular prostate checks at age 45. Laurie reminds men, “Don’t rest, get the test!”
