Erectile Dysfunction Radio Podcast

Today we are privileged to have Doctor Kevin Chu with us. He is a private practice urologist and men's health specialist in Los Angeles, California. With roots in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he pursued his undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley before attending medical school at the esteemed New York Medical College. Dr. Chu honed his expertise in urology through rigorous training at the University of Miami.   Shockwave therapy, originally developed for kidney stones, utilizes acoustic waves to induce a response in targeted tissues. While the mechanism for kidney stones involves breaking them up, shockwave therapy for ED operates differently. It stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting neovascularization and tissue regeneration in the penis.   Addressing common concerns, Dr. Chu clarifies that shockwave therapy sessions are non-invasive and generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects such as mild tingling or bruising. However, he emphasizes the importance of patient selection, cautioning that not all individuals may benefit equally from this treatment.   For more free erectile dysfunction education and resources, please visit: https://erectioniq.com/    Mark Goldberg helps men resolve erectile dysfunction.

Today we are joined by Dr. Ariel Moradzadeh, he is a board certified urologist practicing in Beverly Hills, California. He specializes in men's sexual health and sexual issues. He will enlighten us on the intricacies of vasectomy, vasectomy reversal, and their potential impact on sexual function.   A vasectomy, a brief office-based procedure taking 15 to 20 minutes, involves cutting, clipping, and cauterizing the vas deferens, the tube carrying sperm from the testicle. Contrary to common misconceptions, a vasectomy does not impact sexual function, erection issues, testosterone levels, or cause long-term testicular pain. Some individuals, after having a vasectomy, decide to undergo a vasectomy reversal. This is often due to remarriage or a desire to have more children with a new partner. The reversal process is a delicate four-hour operation conducted under general anesthesia and requires precise microscopic techniques. The success rate varies, diminishing over time from the original vasectomy.

Dr. Susie Gronski is an expert in men's pelvic and sexual health, holding multiple certifications and credentials in the field. With her vast experience and knowledge, we're delving into a topic that intrigues many - the impact of different sex positions on erections.   Many men experience inconsistent erections, making it crucial to discern how sex positions may play a role in their sexual experiences. While there isn't a one-size-fits-all "common" sex position, there are some frequent positions. These include the missionary position, straddling with the partner on top, doggy style, side lying or spooning, and various standing and sitting positions. Each of these positions can impact the male partner differently, depending on the physical demands and pressure on specific body parts.
