#WeAreProstheticUrology

Prosthetic urology is moving from mechanics to electronics: adaptive pressure, programmable settings, maybe one day data. Much of it is not routine yet, and no implant will ever compensate for a poor indication. My piece in @numerikare: bit.ly/4ix6Aez #WardOfYourHealth

Where does chronic scrotal pain come from? Inside the scrotum (epididymis, varicocele, after a vasectomy) or elsewhere (hernia repair, kidney stone, lower back, pelvic floor). Sometimes there is no clear cause. The pain is still real. Talk to your GP. #WardOfYourHealth #Movember

Two days of surgical training in Kiel with colleagues from the@essm_tweets Surgical Academy. Good surgery starts with a good conversation.

Phone in bed: does it wreck your testosterone? Not directly. There's no proof screen light lowers it. But late screens disturb sleep, and poor sleep can lower testosterone. Screens off an hour before bed, phone out of the bed.

"Does hernia surgery affect my sex life?" Usually not in the long run. Swelling and tenderness are common at first. For a minority, groin or testicular pain lingers, sometimes with sex. Persistent pain or changes? Tell your doctor.

Chronic scrotal pain: aching, heavy, stabbing, or burning; affect one or both sides; radiate to the groin, abdomen, or thigh; and worsen with sitting, exercise, or sex. Even if an initial exam appears normal, your pain is real. Seek medical advice. #WardOfYourHealth #menshealth

Energy drink for more energy in bed? There's no sign they improve erections. They do contain lots of caffeine and sugar, which can mean palpitations, higher blood pressure and worse sleep. Sleep, exercise and food do more.

"At what age should I think about fertility?" Men have no fixed deadline, but sperm quality can decline gradually with age. Lifestyle, varicocele and steroids matter too. No pregnancy after about a year? See a doctor together.

Delighted to be part of the 4th Aesthetic Cosmetic #Gynecology and #Sexology Congress in Cyprus, bringing together experts in #andrology, reconstructive #urology and #menshealth from around the world.
Grateful to the organizers and all colleagues for the scientific exchange! 🙏

What helps? Good control of blood sugar, blood pressure and weight, pills, a testosterone check, and options when pills fall short. Always with your doctor.

Erection pills bought online without a prescription are often counterfeit: wrong dose, wrong substance, sometimes contaminated. Even some "natural" products hide real drugs. These pills are not safe for everyone. A short chat with a doctor is safer.

Myth: erectile dysfunction is just a normal part of ageing you have to accept. Fact: it's more common with age, but often has treatable causes — vascular, hormonal or psychogenic. Worth investigating, not just accepting. @SPAndrology #menshealth #andrology

"Does porn affect how I perform in bed?" Porn isn't proven to harm erections, but heavy use can play a role for some men: habituation, unrealistic expectations, pressure. Worth talking about, no shame.
