1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,260
Is masturbating without
releasing actually damaging your

2
00:00:04,260 --> 00:00:07,770
testicles? And if you're taking
a daily pill like Cialis after

3
00:00:07,770 --> 00:00:13,320
40, are you secretly making your
ED worse in the long run? Today

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,190
we're talking about the warning
signs your body is sending you

5
00:00:17,190 --> 00:00:20,580
down there. From unexplained
pain to the long-term side

6
00:00:20,580 --> 00:00:25,185
effects of ED meds that nobody
talks about, like hearing and

7
00:00:25,185 --> 00:00:29,415
vision loss. Plus, I'll reveal
why fixing your erections is

8
00:00:29,415 --> 00:00:32,805
actually a lot simpler than you
think, and why your body wants

9
00:00:32,805 --> 00:00:35,385
to do it naturally. Let's get
into it.

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,130
This podcast is for you, the
Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong,

11
00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:43,520
your host. I'm an intimate
health medical doctor and best

Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,000
do a deep dive into sexual
health and performance and how

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,150
it affects men of all ages and
backgrounds. So let's get

15
00:00:53,150 --> 00:00:55,820
started, and be sure to visit my

17
00:00:59,555 --> 00:01:02,345
resources from the show. See you
on the inside.

18
00:01:12,245 --> 00:01:16,115
"One thing I noticed that if I
masturbate and don't release,

19
00:01:16,385 --> 00:01:20,675
and if I repeat it like two out
of three times, I see the

20
00:01:20,675 --> 00:01:25,910
testicle area is wire painting.
Feel that the testicle is

21
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:28,640
painful. Is it harmful?" You
masturbate and you don't

22
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,960
release. Well, I'm not quite
sure what question entails. So,

23
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,530
if you masturbate, you don't
release. It shouldn't really

24
00:01:36,530 --> 00:01:41,180
affect the testicles, and it
shouldn't really cause any pain

25
00:01:41,180 --> 00:01:44,720
to the testicle. I mean, a lot
of men do not ejaculate with

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,875
orgasm, so that shouldn't be
painful to your testicles.

27
00:01:48,875 --> 00:01:52,895
Unless there are other things
going on organically in your

28
00:01:52,895 --> 00:01:58,865
testicle. So if your testicle is
painful, you need to go see a

29
00:01:58,865 --> 00:02:03,155
urologist, and you need to get
ultrasound that testicle to see

30
00:02:03,155 --> 00:02:08,450
if there's any type of blockage
or any type of hydro seal. If

31
00:02:08,450 --> 00:02:11,870
they're painting you, you need
to find out that the structure

32
00:02:11,870 --> 00:02:15,650
is okay. Sometimes it could be a
plaque, sometimes it could be a

33
00:02:15,650 --> 00:02:20,000
swelling in the testicle. But
holding on to that ejaculation

34
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,630
shouldn't be painful to the
testicle, all right. Lots of men

35
00:02:23,630 --> 00:02:28,700
do that. My advice is, you go
see your urologist and get some

36
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:32,555
imaging study done, because one
thing you should not do, guys,

37
00:02:32,555 --> 00:02:36,125
is that if your testicle is
painful, don't sit on it. You

38
00:02:36,125 --> 00:02:40,475
need to get evaluated, because
it could be a clot, it could be

39
00:02:40,475 --> 00:02:43,895
a cyst, it could be an
infection, it could be cancer.

40
00:02:43,895 --> 00:02:48,485
So all that can be evaluated
through an ultrasound, and

41
00:02:48,485 --> 00:02:52,925
sometimes maybe even the CT
scan. But need to get evaluated.

42
00:02:52,955 --> 00:02:57,500
If you don't, then you never
know what's happening. Don't try

43
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:00,680
to treat it on your own, because
if it's painful and it lingers,

44
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,950
it doesn't go away. You need to
get it evaluated. Okay?

45
00:03:03,950 --> 00:03:08,060
There's a question here about
Cialis. "Is there any issue

46
00:03:08,060 --> 00:03:12,110
taking Cialis at the low dose
daily for a long period of time,

47
00:03:12,110 --> 00:03:16,130
and definitely after the age of
40 in long-term studies?" Well,

48
00:03:16,175 --> 00:03:19,715
why are you taking Cialis? Are
you taking Cialis for ED? When

49
00:03:19,715 --> 00:03:23,135
you say low dose, it's between 5
milligrams or 10 milligrams.

50
00:03:23,135 --> 00:03:26,315
Every medication has the side
effects. In fact, one of the

51
00:03:26,315 --> 00:03:30,335
side effects of PDE-5
inhibitors, or medication like

52
00:03:30,335 --> 00:03:33,965
Cialis and Viagra, you can have
hearing loss, you can have

53
00:03:33,965 --> 00:03:38,015
visual loss. Those are like the
long-term side effects. It's the

54
00:03:38,015 --> 00:03:42,560
thing that is common, hearing
loss and visual loss. So you

55
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,730
have to consider the long-term
side effects versus the benefit.

56
00:03:46,730 --> 00:03:49,070
So, if you're taking Cialis low
dose, you're taking it for

57
00:03:49,070 --> 00:03:53,210
erection, but maybe you need to
be looking at why you have ED,

58
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:56,420
and maybe is it a blood flow
problem. Then, if it's a blood

59
00:03:56,420 --> 00:04:00,140
flow problem, then you need to
fix your diet and your exercise

60
00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:03,875
and moderate your alcohol, stop
smoking, and a good sleep

61
00:04:03,875 --> 00:04:12,665
routine. Because medication does
has a side effect. So if you

62
00:04:12,665 --> 00:04:16,025
have ED, you want to work on the
root cause of why you have ED.

63
00:04:16,025 --> 00:04:19,565
And so there are definitely
long-term side effects, hearing

64
00:04:19,565 --> 00:04:24,695
loss and visual loss as well. So
medication like Cialis or Viagra

65
00:04:24,695 --> 00:04:27,980
should be taken as needed.
However, I know that some men

66
00:04:27,980 --> 00:04:32,360
take Cialis for prostate issues
as well at low dose. So there

67
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,470
are some benefits, but if you
can work at resolving the root

68
00:04:36,470 --> 00:04:41,120
cause of your ED, you may not
need to be on medication. Who

69
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,630
wants to take medication for
long term every day? Because

70
00:04:44,630 --> 00:04:47,360
your body don't need medication
to have an erection when you are

71
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,915
younger. Why do your body need
it now? If you need it now,

72
00:04:50,915 --> 00:04:55,175
because it needs to be nurtured,
it needs to be restored for it

73
00:04:55,175 --> 00:04:58,325
to function properly. Every
medication has a side effect

74
00:04:58,325 --> 00:05:02,195
that you take it long term. But
if you can restore your erection

75
00:05:02,195 --> 00:05:05,135
with just treating the root
cause, then you will not need

76
00:05:05,135 --> 00:05:09,665
Cialis. So that comes along with
that answer for that. Low dose,

77
00:05:09,725 --> 00:05:15,140
even 2.5 milligrams, it's still
a medication. Now just know that

78
00:05:15,140 --> 00:05:17,960
when you take a medication,
guys, it's something foreign in

79
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,990
the body. Medication is
synthetic made, it's made in the

80
00:05:20,990 --> 00:05:25,550
lab, so it's not made at the
same component as organic stuff

81
00:05:25,550 --> 00:05:30,620
that's in your body. And so
anything that is non-organic or

82
00:05:30,620 --> 00:05:33,800
anything that is synthetic, your
body is going to react to it.

83
00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:37,355
It's going to see it as a
foreign substance in the body,

84
00:05:37,355 --> 00:05:41,915
and it's going to react to it.
So medication itself is not good

85
00:05:41,915 --> 00:05:45,725
for your body, but the reason
why we take medication is to

86
00:05:45,725 --> 00:05:50,675
control the adverse effect of a
condition that causes it. But if

87
00:05:50,675 --> 00:05:54,815
you have a way to not take the
medication, then that's the

88
00:05:54,815 --> 00:05:58,205
better option, not to take the
medication. Because if you take

89
00:05:58,205 --> 00:06:00,260
the medication, you're gonna
have to face with the side

90
00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:03,920
effects of the medication on top
of the benefit of the

91
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,090
medication. If you know what I'm
talking about. Okay? So just be

92
00:06:08,090 --> 00:06:12,320
aware of that. I'm not a big
medication person at this time,

93
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,830
and I believe in that if you can
treat the root cause of the

94
00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:19,190
problem, then you don't need a
medication for your body to

95
00:06:19,190 --> 00:06:19,640
function.

96
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:25,325
Now, for a man to have an
erection is really a natural

97
00:06:25,325 --> 00:06:29,885
process. It's built into your
body to have an erection. It's

98
00:06:29,885 --> 00:06:33,665
like blinking, like blinking
your eye. So it's built into

99
00:06:33,725 --> 00:06:38,195
your body to have an erection
since puberty, and it is one of

100
00:06:38,195 --> 00:06:43,175
the oldest bodily functions for
a human being. And in fact, your

101
00:06:43,175 --> 00:06:47,930
brain has a dedicated center
just for sexual function, and it

102
00:06:47,930 --> 00:06:51,410
centered in the center between
your ears and your eyes. It's

103
00:06:51,410 --> 00:06:55,220
the deepest part of your brain,
is the oldest part of your brain

104
00:06:55,220 --> 00:06:59,270
that even salamander has this as
well. So, where I'm getting at

105
00:06:59,270 --> 00:07:03,260
this is that for a man to get an
erection is innate part, it's a

106
00:07:03,260 --> 00:07:07,865
primitive part of your body to
be able to do this, and it's a

107
00:07:07,865 --> 00:07:12,575
natural response. So, when
something that is natural that

108
00:07:12,575 --> 00:07:15,605
is built for you to work
properly, when it's not working,

109
00:07:15,635 --> 00:07:20,795
you need to fix that. You need
to fix the why it's not working,

110
00:07:20,855 --> 00:07:25,685
because your body is geared
toward making it work. And so

111
00:07:25,685 --> 00:07:29,405
your body wants you to have an
erection, but if you're not

112
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:35,390
having it, then you need to find
out why and fix that problem for

113
00:07:35,390 --> 00:07:39,140
it to function again. As its
basic, human beings are geared

114
00:07:39,140 --> 00:07:43,340
towards reproduction,
appropriation to continue the

115
00:07:43,340 --> 00:07:47,330
human line, and your reaction is
one of the most primitive

116
00:07:47,330 --> 00:07:51,710
pathway for survival. And when
it's not working, your body is

117
00:07:51,710 --> 00:07:54,755
saying, "Hey, fix this, because
there's something wrong." Your

118
00:07:54,755 --> 00:07:57,545
body is giving you a warning
sign there's something wrong,

119
00:07:57,545 --> 00:08:00,485
something wrong that's going to
affect your heart later on, it's

120
00:08:00,485 --> 00:08:04,535
going to affect your brain later
on, and so your body is saying

121
00:08:04,535 --> 00:08:07,355
something's wrong, fix this. But
you don't want to like take

122
00:08:07,355 --> 00:08:11,375
another medication to cover it
up, but if you cover it up, the

123
00:08:11,375 --> 00:08:15,395
problem is only going to get
worse. If you take ED medicine,

124
00:08:15,425 --> 00:08:18,830
your ED is only going to get
worse, it's not going to resolve

125
00:08:18,830 --> 00:08:23,120
your ED. It's just a band aid
for now. So just know that your

126
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,420
body wants you to have an
erection, and you just need to

127
00:08:26,420 --> 00:08:30,170
help it restore balance again.
And oftentimes it's just as

128
00:08:30,170 --> 00:08:34,160
simple as changing your diet,
eating more healthy, like just

129
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,080
follow the Mediterranean diet.
Mediterranean diet is

130
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,920
essentially just eat more
vegetables, more fruit, lean

131
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,865
meat. Don't eat anything in a
can or a bag. That's really it.

132
00:08:43,865 --> 00:08:47,675
And then exercise, so what's
exercise? Like walking 7000

133
00:08:47,675 --> 00:08:51,395
steps a day, or 30 minutes a
day, and walking up and down the

134
00:08:51,395 --> 00:08:56,135
stairs, and doing squat three,
four times a week. And if you

135
00:08:56,135 --> 00:08:59,495
mind what you eat, and if you
just do too simple exercise, you

136
00:08:59,495 --> 00:09:02,480
will not gain weight. You will
not gain weight. If you eat

137
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,510
healthy, you will not gain
weight. It's when we don't

138
00:09:05,510 --> 00:09:08,570
exercise and we start sitting
there munching on chips. The

139
00:09:08,570 --> 00:09:11,690
earth doesn't grow chips, the
earth doesn't grow cookies,

140
00:09:11,690 --> 00:09:14,510
earth doesn't grow cake or
cereal.

141
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:17,930
Okay, Modern Man. If you're
struggling with weak erection,

142
00:09:17,930 --> 00:09:21,650
low energy, the food you eat
could be the big part of the

143
00:09:21,650 --> 00:09:24,905
problem. One of the best
research pathways to boost

144
00:09:24,905 --> 00:09:29,465
circulation, support healthy
testosterone and improve sexual

145
00:09:29,465 --> 00:09:33,455
performance is the Mediterranean
diet. It's packed with food that

146
00:09:33,455 --> 00:09:38,015
open up your blood vessel, lower
inflammation, and fuel your

147
00:09:38,015 --> 00:09:42,215
hormone, naturally. I've seen
men notice real improvement in

148
00:09:42,215 --> 00:09:46,205
both energy and erection within
weeks when they shift to this

149
00:09:46,235 --> 00:09:50,330
style of eating. So check out
the Mediterranean diet link

150
00:09:50,390 --> 00:09:55,700
right here below, and get that
as soon as you can. Stronger

151
00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:58,280
testosterone and better
erection.

152
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,360
So you just feed your body. Body
with the healthy component, and

153
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,570
it will start functioning again.
Sometimes it's as easy as just

154
00:10:05,570 --> 00:10:10,220
the diet and the exercise,
getting adequate amount of sleep

155
00:10:10,220 --> 00:10:13,625
at night, and stop doing stuff
that is causing inflammation,

156
00:10:13,625 --> 00:10:18,845
such as smoking and drinking too
much alcohol, and can't stop

157
00:10:18,845 --> 00:10:21,875
stress. Stress is going to be
there, but moderate it. You can

158
00:10:21,875 --> 00:10:24,845
moderate it. One of my coach
says, I never thought about it

159
00:10:24,845 --> 00:10:30,065
ways that stress is a
perception, not a situation.

160
00:10:30,065 --> 00:10:33,635
It's the perception stresses in
your thought. It is in your

161
00:10:33,635 --> 00:10:36,470
thought. So, if you get stressed
about something, it's in your

162
00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:40,910
thought. Now, if you were facing
danger, physical danger, and

163
00:10:40,910 --> 00:10:44,510
that's a different situation.
But if it's not a physical

164
00:10:44,510 --> 00:10:49,820
danger, then stress is really a
perception. All right, just know

165
00:10:49,820 --> 00:10:54,860
that fixing your erection may be
easier than you think. Believe

166
00:10:54,860 --> 00:10:58,055
it or not, sometimes when it's
too easy, we don't believe it,

167
00:10:58,055 --> 00:11:02,675
right? But take it from me, I
work with more than 7000 men

168
00:11:02,675 --> 00:11:06,785
with ED, and sometimes if the
man just changed his diet, start

169
00:11:06,785 --> 00:11:09,485
exercising, or start losing the
weight, you will see the

170
00:11:09,485 --> 00:11:13,385
testosterone level go up, and
he's gonna start seeing more

171
00:11:13,385 --> 00:11:17,855
morning wood again. And so I
have seen it happen multiple

172
00:11:17,855 --> 00:11:21,830
times, and trust me, I'm talking
from experience, and sometimes

173
00:11:21,830 --> 00:11:25,340
it's that simple. It does take
work, eating healthy and

174
00:11:25,340 --> 00:11:29,150
exercise, and all that take time
away, take work from us,

175
00:11:29,150 --> 00:11:32,690
especially nowadays.
Essentially, guys, it's really,

176
00:11:32,690 --> 00:11:36,680
you have a plate, fill it with
either fish, chicken, pork, and

177
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:39,950
red meat, but just alternate it.
Don't eat red meat every day,

178
00:11:39,950 --> 00:11:44,405
alternate it with fish and
chicken and pork, so that's half

179
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:46,325
of your plate. And the other
half should be fruits and

180
00:11:46,325 --> 00:11:48,875
vegetables. Any fruit, any
vegetables, just fruit and

181
00:11:48,875 --> 00:11:51,365
vegetables. Just eat what the
earth grows for you, eat what

182
00:11:51,365 --> 00:11:54,125
the earth gives you. Earth
doesn't give you soda, earth

183
00:11:54,125 --> 00:11:58,115
doesn't give you alcohol either.
Alcohol is man made, right? So

184
00:11:58,115 --> 00:12:01,235
if you just think of the plate
like that, then makes everything

185
00:12:01,235 --> 00:12:06,005
easier, you can eat a sandwich,
it's okay, bread, you can't eat

186
00:12:06,155 --> 00:12:10,220
a sandwich a day, or two slices
a day, that's good. And for

187
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:13,700
dessert, eat fruit, sometimes
that's really all you need. In

188
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:17,120
fact, you may even save more
money if you follow that plan.

189
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,990
So it will give you more energy
when you eat more healthy.

190
00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:24,980
Because if you give your body
what it needs, it will reward

191
00:12:24,980 --> 00:12:29,495
you. It will reward you with
more energy, weight loss, and

192
00:12:29,495 --> 00:12:31,295
better sleep as well.
