9
00:00:37,845 --> 00:00:41,685
Hello there, Modern Man. I'm Dr
Anne Truong. I've treated over

10
00:00:41,685 --> 00:00:46,485
7000 men with ED. In today's
episode, we're going to talk

11
00:00:46,485 --> 00:00:52,170
about, are you just tired of
having enlarged prostate and

12
00:00:52,170 --> 00:00:56,250
it's kind of killing your sex
life and your sleep? What most

13
00:00:56,250 --> 00:00:59,730
doctor won't tell you about the
shocking link between your

14
00:00:59,730 --> 00:01:04,050
enlarged prostate or BPH and
erectile dysfunction, I'm going

15
00:01:04,050 --> 00:01:08,370
to discuss about today. So stay
tuned to the end, so that way

16
00:01:08,370 --> 00:01:12,615
you can find out what you can do
with enlarged prostate and if

17
00:01:12,615 --> 00:01:14,595
it's affecting your bedroom
performance.

18
00:01:14,660 --> 00:01:20,420
While benign prostatic
hypertrophy or BPH itself is not

19
00:01:20,420 --> 00:01:24,980
consider a direct cause of ED,
there is significant and complex

20
00:01:24,980 --> 00:01:28,340
relationship between the two
conditions. The relationship

21
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,080
manifests in several key ways.
Number one, shared risk factors.

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,945
Both BPH and ED are common
condition in aging men, and they

23
00:01:38,945 --> 00:01:43,445
often share underlying risk
factor, which include older men

24
00:01:43,505 --> 00:01:50,165
get higher risk of either BPH or
ED or both. They share lifestyle

25
00:01:50,165 --> 00:01:54,545
factors such as obesity,
diabetes, high blood pressure,

26
00:01:54,605 --> 00:01:59,165
high cholesterol and heart
disease. All these conditions

27
00:01:59,165 --> 00:02:04,430
contribute to either BPH
progression and or ED or both,

28
00:02:04,490 --> 00:02:09,170
because these conditions, your
prostate is affected by blood

29
00:02:09,170 --> 00:02:14,690
flow. So penis and prostate are
dependent upon blood flow. Then,

30
00:02:14,690 --> 00:02:18,110
the penis and the prostate is
also dependent upon your hormone

31
00:02:18,110 --> 00:02:22,550
changes, particularly your
testosterone. The prostate gets

32
00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:27,275
enlarged with low testosterone
and high testosterone, and then

33
00:02:27,275 --> 00:02:30,455
high testosterone can be
converted to another hormone

34
00:02:30,455 --> 00:02:36,455
called dihydrotestosterone, or
DHT, which is an inflammatory to

35
00:02:36,695 --> 00:02:40,655
the prostate. And then ED is
also dependent upon low

36
00:02:40,655 --> 00:02:42,575
testosterone as well.

37
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:48,120
Number two, there is the impact
between BPH and sexual function,

38
00:02:48,180 --> 00:02:54,540
indirectly. So the frustrating
and disruptive symptoms of BPH

39
00:02:54,540 --> 00:02:59,700
indirectly affect a man's
ability to maintain his erection

40
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:04,260
and overall sexual desire. Come
on, admit it, waking up at night

41
00:03:04,260 --> 00:03:08,625
time, going multiple times, even
up to four or five times a

42
00:03:08,625 --> 00:03:13,005
night, and then having a weak
urine stream can cause

43
00:03:13,005 --> 00:03:16,785
significant distress and
anxiety. Well, number one, the

44
00:03:16,785 --> 00:03:21,345
anxiety, the embarrassment of
leakage during intimacy, leakage

45
00:03:21,345 --> 00:03:24,585
during the daytime and then
going to the bathroom frequently

46
00:03:24,585 --> 00:03:28,905
at night. It's kind of sure
reduce your desire for sex. And

47
00:03:28,905 --> 00:03:32,910
then, not to mention, the sleep
deprivation of waking up

48
00:03:32,910 --> 00:03:36,210
multiple times. We talked about
how sleep is important for

49
00:03:36,210 --> 00:03:40,050
testosterone, how sleep is
important for healing and for

50
00:03:40,050 --> 00:03:42,690
blood flow, and you're not
getting sleep when you have

51
00:03:42,690 --> 00:03:47,010
enlarged prostate, and then
discomfort and pain when you

52
00:03:47,010 --> 00:03:52,470
urinate, or even ejaculation as
well with BPH. Now, even with

53
00:03:52,515 --> 00:03:57,435
BPH, sometimes you can have
retrograde ejaculation as well.

54
00:03:57,555 --> 00:04:01,275
The next part of psychological
impact with preoccupation of

55
00:04:01,275 --> 00:04:04,995
going to the bathroom every
hour, every 30 minutes, leading

56
00:04:04,995 --> 00:04:09,315
to stress, depression and almost
loss of interest in sexual

57
00:04:09,315 --> 00:04:10,035
ability.

58
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:37,492
Now number three, the side
effects of BPH medication are

59
00:04:37,982 --> 00:05:04,493
pretty significant. Most
medications in the class call

60
00:04:57,130 --> 00:05:14,710
Okay, Modern Man, you are not
alone and you don't have to

61
00:05:04,984 --> 00:05:32,476
5-alpha reductase inhibitors or
5-ARI medication such as

62
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:19,855
suffer anymore. ED can feel
isolating, frustrating, and even

63
00:05:19,855 --> 00:05:24,835
defeating. The endless guessing,
the quiet shame, the weight of

64
00:05:24,835 --> 00:05:28,915
not feeling like yourself is
exhausting. But here's the

65
00:05:28,915 --> 00:05:34,195
truth, you are not broken. You
are not alone. You don't have to

66
00:05:32,966 --> 00:06:03,404
finasteride or dutasteride work
by shrinking the prostate, but

67
00:05:34,195 --> 00:05:39,295
figure this out alone anymore.

at getwoodnow.com. I'll see you
there.

74
00:06:03,895 --> 00:06:33,842
it can lead to side effects such
as decreased libido, ED, and

75
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,000
So some of the side effects of
traditional BPH surgery, such as

76
00:06:12,060 --> 00:06:17,520
TURP, do have side effects as
well, such as retrograde

77
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,940
ejaculation and also ED. While
enlarged prostate itself may not

78
00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:27,960
directly damage the
physiological mechanism of an

79
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,205
erection, like blood flow, nerve
supply to the penis, but the

80
00:06:32,205 --> 00:06:36,645
symptoms of BPH, especially the
side effect of traditional

81
00:06:34,333 --> 00:07:03,788
ejaculation dysfunction, such as
reduced semen volume and or

82
00:06:36,645 --> 00:06:41,085
treatments such as medication
and the TURP procedure, can

83
00:06:41,145 --> 00:06:45,345
impact a man's sexual health,
leading to or worsening of his

84
00:06:45,525 --> 00:06:49,005
erectile dysfunction. This is
why it's so important for men to

85
00:06:49,005 --> 00:06:52,605
discuss their symptoms,
especially sexual one, and the

86
00:06:52,605 --> 00:06:55,770
urination symptoms, with their
doctor.

87
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:59,020
What do you need to do when you
have enlarged prostate? First of

88
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,960
all, go see your doctor first.
Don't try to treat it yourself.

89
00:07:02,020 --> 00:07:05,200
And the signs of enlarged
prostate is that your urine

90
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:31,771
retrograde ejaculation. When
semen goes into the bladder

91
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,680
stream is not as strong as it
used to be. It takes longer for

92
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,460
you to start your urine stream.
It takes you longer to stop your

93
00:07:12,460 --> 00:07:15,940
urine stream, and before, if
they only take you 30 seconds to

94
00:07:15,940 --> 00:07:18,400
go to the bathroom. Now it
taking you, like, 10 minutes,

95
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,265
and you can make a sandwich
during the whole time, and then

96
00:07:21,385 --> 00:07:24,445
after you go to the bathroom
about an hour later, 30 minutes

97
00:07:24,445 --> 00:07:28,165
later, you need to go again. So
called frequency. And the other

98
00:07:28,165 --> 00:07:31,825
thing also is sometimes pain
with urination. But the thing

99
00:07:31,825 --> 00:07:34,465
that's most prominent is
nighttime urination, or

100
00:07:32,262 --> 00:07:59,263
instead of out in the penis.
Another type of medication

101
00:07:34,465 --> 00:07:38,605
nocturia, where you're getting
up either between two to five

102
00:07:38,605 --> 00:07:42,610
times at night time to go to the
bathroom where you shouldn't be.

103
00:07:42,610 --> 00:07:47,890
It is disrupting your sleep, and
it's going to ruin your sex life

104
00:07:47,950 --> 00:07:52,570
as well, too. So go see the
doctor, get your examinate, your

105
00:07:52,570 --> 00:07:56,890
prostate examination. Now the
prostate, you can see from this

106
00:07:56,890 --> 00:08:01,330
is that it is just right below
the bladder. This is the bladder

107
00:07:59,754 --> 00:08:29,701
called alpha blockers, such as
tamsulosin or silodosin. These

108
00:08:01,570 --> 00:08:05,530
right here. It's right below the
bladder, and kind of where next

109
00:08:05,530 --> 00:08:09,235
to the penis here. And the only
way to reach the prostate is

110
00:08:09,235 --> 00:08:12,895
through the rectum right here.
And that's how doctors do

111
00:08:12,955 --> 00:08:16,915
examination for your prostate.
So it has to be examined

112
00:08:16,915 --> 00:08:21,715
internally to determine the size
of the prostate. The normal size

113
00:08:21,715 --> 00:08:25,375
of the prostate is about 30
grams, or the size of a walnut

114
00:08:25,375 --> 00:08:29,860
like this. If it's more large
than what it does is that it

115
00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:34,900
compresses the urethra, or the
tube that connects the bladder

116
00:08:30,192 --> 00:09:01,120
medications relax the muscle in
the prostate and the bladder to

117
00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:39,160
to the penis. That's how you
urinate. And it's also where the

118
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,240
nerve go to the penis as well
too. It can also affect the

119
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,740
penis function for erection but
it's also intimately connected

120
00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:51,325
to the pelvic muscles. So
there's a reason why they're all

121
00:08:51,325 --> 00:08:54,985
connected in one or more area,
and how important that is.

122
00:08:55,020 --> 00:09:01,680
So to improve your BPH symptoms,
you can do Kegel exercises.

123
00:09:01,611 --> 00:09:31,558
improve the urine flow, while
this is going to lead to sexual

124
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:05,820
Check out my video where I talk
about how to do Kegel exercises.

125
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,380
And you can also do external
prostatic massage with a

126
00:09:10,380 --> 00:09:14,520
massager, you can also do
internal prostate massager as

127
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,525
well. But we have something new
in the office right now that

128
00:09:18,525 --> 00:09:24,465
will treat BPH symptoms within
one to two treatments using

129
00:09:24,465 --> 00:09:29,925
magnetic energy, infrared
therapy and also vibration. So

130
00:09:29,925 --> 00:09:32,805
stay tuned on my next episode
where I'll talk about that,

131
00:09:32,049 --> 00:09:53,650
dysfunction and also retrograde ejaculation.

132
00:09:32,805 --> 00:09:36,825
where it goes internal, the
probe goes internal, and it

133
00:09:36,885 --> 00:09:40,905
treats the prostate area to
improve more circulation and

134
00:09:40,905 --> 00:09:45,450
decrease inflammation. And also
what's important is you can be

135
00:09:45,450 --> 00:09:49,350
treated without medication and
without surgery. And what I want

136
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:53,730
you to do first is to start
doing Kegel and get your

137
00:09:53,730 --> 00:09:57,330
testosterone level measure.
Believe it or not, supplementing

138
00:09:57,330 --> 00:10:02,490
testosterone level will also
improve urination symptoms as

139
00:10:02,490 --> 00:10:03,030
well, too.

140
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,340
And just know if you have BPH,
there are options besides just

141
00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:12,900
medication and surgery, and that
if you have BPH, it's also

142
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,980
indirectly linked to ED. You
don't have to live with that,

143
00:10:16,980 --> 00:10:21,180
and that's why our treatment
focuses on not only treating ED

144
00:10:21,180 --> 00:10:26,625
symptom, but also treating the
prostate as well too. So stay

145
00:10:26,625 --> 00:10:29,985
tuned for my next episode where
we'll talk about how pulse

146
00:10:29,985 --> 00:10:34,245
electromagnetic therapy,
infrared, and vibration combined

147
00:10:34,245 --> 00:10:38,805
in treating the prostate area.
It all goes together to how to

148
00:10:38,805 --> 00:10:40,365
improve your sexual health.

149
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,840

00:11:31,870 --> 00:11:37,030
suffer anymore. ED can feel
isolating, frustrating, and even

163
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:42,010
defeating. The endless guessing,
the quiet shame, the weight of

164
00:11:42,010 --> 00:11:46,090
not feeling like yourself is
exhausting. But here's the

165
00:11:46,090 --> 00:11:51,415
truth, you are not broken. You
are not alone. You don't have to

166
00:11:51,415 --> 00:11:56,455
figure this out alone anymore.
