In this episode, Dr. Geo interviews Dr. Justin Dubin, a urologist and andrologist specializing in men’s health, about the connection between erectile dysfunction and male porn actors. They also discuss the potential harm of telehealth TRT clinics and the importance of informed decision-making in healthcare.
Key Takeaways:
*Dr. Dubin conducted an experiment where he posed as a patient and called several TRT clinics, finding that many recommended testosterone treatment even when it wasn’t necessary.
*He also discusses his research on erectile dysfunction in male porn actors, highlighting the high prevalence of both ED and erectile aid medication use among performers in their 20s and 30s.
*Dr. Dubin emphasizes the need for proper guidelines and counseling in testosterone therapy, as well as the potential risks and side effects associated with it.
*He suggests that testosterone plays a significant role in erectile dysfunction, but it is only one aspect among other factors such as blood flow, nerves, arousal, and mental state.
*Dr. Dubin supports the use of telehealth and direct-to-consumer services for men’s health but urges caution and the need for informed decision-making.
*Patients should consider their treatment goals, the expertise and approach of their healthcare providers, and be knowledgeable about the risks and benefits involved.
*It is important for patients to feel comfortable with their healthcare provider and seek second opinions if needed.
*Dr. Dubin can be contacted through Memorial Healthcare Systems, and he also hosts a podcast called “The Man Up: A Doctor’s Guide to Men’s Health Podcast.”
*Dr. Geo wraps up the episode by thanking Dr. Dubin and expressing his excitement about finally connecting in a conversation despite prior online interactions.
