Episode 4 - Men's Health | The P word

Brad discusses common conditions men experience including Erectile Dysfunction (ED),  Prostate Cancer and Peyronie's Disease. At 9:46, Brad meant to say the incidence of Erectile Dysfunction is approximately 1,000,000 men at any one time in Australia, rather than 1,000. Brad provides us with an overview of each condition, what symptoms to look out for and treatment options that are available. Brad also recommends going to Mens Health Downunder www.menshealthdownunder.com.au, https://www.prostate.org.au/ and https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/erectile-dysfunction for more information and support.

5 Indispensable tips: 

1. Never be afraid to ask the obvious question - its never obvious and rarely straight forward
2. You get what you give - always be as open and honest as possible with your healthcare team. Remember by sharing your experience/symptoms its helps us build our repertoire so we can in tern better help others 
3. Find a pharmacist or pharmacy team that make you feel welcomed, valued and safe - this way, even if ever you're not sure about something you can feel confident that your trusted pharmacy/pharmacist will always be there to help you and this is vital 
4. A medicine becomes a poison very quickly when used inappropriately - please don't share your medicines with others or change your dose without seeking the advice of a doctor (even if it does seem like a good idea)
5. Erectile health, more broadly urological health, is often a large part of a mans identity; if something doesn't seem right get it checked out in a timely fashion. Rest assured, if something is wrong the outcomes are far better managed if early
