"We have become more advanced over time. We understand that men's health is more than just testosterone. Men's health is more than just erectile function and prostate disease," says Michael D. Lutz, MD.


In this video, Michael D. Lutz, MD, highlights the growth of men’s health clinics in urology. Lutz is a urology partner at the Michigan Institute of Urology (MIU) as well as the President of the MIU Men’s Health Foundation.
 
Shot boxes LOL!

*The original men's health clinics were really nothing more than testosterone or shot boxes

Judging from the incessant radio advertisements in Northern California they're shockwave boxes now! (Won't mention the name but they claim 90% ED cure with SW. How do they get away with blatant misrepresentation?)
 
I have no idea how they get away with it. It’s a rip off that is costing men thousands of dollars. Many sessions and really no proven benefits. I am hearing total cost of over $4,000 dollars. May be someone will sue one of those clinics and put a stop to this madness.

Preying on men who are desperate for a “natural” way to reverse ED by getting their penis banged by shockwaves for several weeks is not only barbaric but a total rip off only comparable to expensive snake oils.


Penile shockwave therapy, also known as low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT), has gained attention as a potential treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). However, the scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness is still limited and inconclusive.

Several small-scale studies have been conducted by authors with conflict of interest to evaluate the benefits of penile shockwave therapy, but the results have been mixed. While some studies have reported positive outcomes, many others have shown no significant improvement in erectile function compared to a placebo treatment. The current scientific consensus does not firmly support penile shockwave therapy as a reliable or proven treatment for ED.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
