    Why is my penis curved? What is Peyronie’s Disease?

    On this episode of Below The Belt... why is my penis curved? Peyronie's disease is the most common cause of penile curvature, and it occurs when scar tissue builds up in the penis due to injury or trauma, leading to a bent penis. Join Dr. Christopher Love as he discusses various conditions related to men's health, including erectile dysfunction, penile implants, penile curvature or Peyronie's disease, and prostate issues.   Some men may have a genetic tendency towards the disease -- normal wear and tear during sexual activity can also cause a bent penis. However, many men with Peyronie's disease may not even realize they have it. Dr. Love explains that this condition is common, and it can occur suddenly, leading to a lump in the penis or a bent erection. Overall, the episode offers valuable insights into men's health issues and the importance of seeking medical help when needed.

    Treatments for ED - pills, injections and pumps

    Welcome to Below the Belt with Dr. Christopher Love, where we discuss common men's health problems. In this episode, we'll be talking about treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED) like pills, injections, and pumps. If you're experiencing ED and need medical help, your doctor will ask about your health, lifestyle, and medical history to identify the cause. They might also suggest tests like blood tests or ultrasounds. Knowing why you have ED is essential in finding the right treatment. For example, if smoking is the cause, quitting smoking may help. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes to medication and surgery. Doctors usually start with the least invasive treatment and move towards more invasive ones if needed. It's okay to seek help for ED or other urology issues. Every guy experiences these problems at some point. The more you know about the problem and treatments, the better you can communicate with your healthcare professional and take necessary steps to treat the issue.  Dr Love shares the benefits of talking to a sex therapist to understand stress factors causing sexual problems. The family of medications that help with erection problems includes Viagra, Cialis, Spedra, and Levitra, and they work by opening up the blood vessels in the penis. These drugs only work with sexual stimulation and take time to build up in the bloodstream, so plan accordingly. Lastly, Tadalafil can stay in the bloodstream for more than 24 hours, making it possible to have sex whenever desired.  Find out more about ED https://www.drlove.com.au/erectile-dysfunction/:Do you think that you might have Erectile Dysfunction?

    What is a Penile Implant? Can it fix my erection?

    In this episode of Below The Belt, Dr. Christopher Love explains that penile implants or prostheses are the best way to restore erections in any man, no matter what the cause of his erection problem. Unlike other treatments that only enable an erection, penile implants fix the underlying problem. A penile implant is a device that goes inside the penis, just like an inner tube in a car tire. It can be filled with fluid and pressure, which builds up to give a hard penis. The cylinders are connected to a little reservoir of fluid inside the body near the bladder and a pump inside the s*****m, between the testicles. When you pump the device, the fluid flows into the cylinders, and it gets harder. Once you have learned how to use it, you can have a rock-hard erection within 20 or 30 seconds. It is almost like the real thing and stays up until you release the little valve, which allows the fluid to come from the penis back to the reservoir.

    Why is peeing a problem?

    Dr. Christopher Love discusses common men's health issues -- and in this episode of Below The Belt, we focus on the prostate. The prostate is a gland that sits below the bladder and produces fluid that is part of semen fluid, which helps with fertility. As men age, the prostate gland gets bigger, which affects the way the bladder works, resulting in slower urine flow, a delay in getting started, increased frequency of urination, waking up at night to urinate, and an urgent need to urinate. These are common symptoms of bladder outflow obstruction caused by the enlargement of the prostate, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Dr. Love highlights the other causes that may lead to these symptoms, and men should seek advice from their healthcare professional. If you're experiencing Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or any other issues related to your penis, don't be embarrassed. Talk to your doctor to get the help you need to have a better conversation with your healthcare professional and treat whatever is bothering you below the belt.

    Is your penis changing? Is your penis curved? Do you have urinary problems or struggling to getting an erection?

    Below the Belt with Dr. Christopher Love shares how your penis changes, including Peyronie's disease or penile curvature, urinary problems, and erectile dysfunction (ED) -- and in many cases for ED the self-diagnosis is often clear. Are your erections not strong enough, don't last long enough, or you can't have sex the way you used to? You likely have erectile dysfunction. Peyronie's disease can cause a curve in the penis, which can be difficult for many men to deal with. Urinary problems are often related to the prostate and can cause slow flow and the need to urinate more frequently. While these issues can intermingle, we'll focus on erectile dysfunction. It's important to note that premature ejaculation can also cause confusion for some men who may mistake it for erectile dysfunction. It's essential to talk to a doctor who can educate you on what is normal and what isn't. One thing that can cause unreasonable expectations in younger men is watching pornography. It can reset the sensitivity of your brain to sexual stimulation, affecting your ability to have sex. This area is being studied by psychologists, and there's a lot of work being done on it. If you're experiencing erectile dysfunction or any other issues related to your penis, don't be embarrassed. Talk to your doctor to get the help you need to have a better conversation with your healthcare professional and treat whatever is bothering you below the belt.

    How to get ED help online

    In the second episode of the Below The Belt podcast, Dr Christopher Love is back to share his expertise on a topic that's close to many people's hearts (and groins): premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation affects a lot of men, and it can be a real mood-killer in the bedroom.

However, if you're consistently finishing before you or your partner want to, then it might be worth exploring some techniques to help delay ejaculation - from the simple to more advanced techniques like pelvic floor exercises. He also touches on medication and therapy options for those with more severe cases. So, if you're tired of finishing too soon, listen to Below The Belt and learn some ways to last longer and enjoy your time between the sheets - and seek help if you think you might need it.  Find out more about ED https://www.drlove.com.au/erectile-dysfunction/:Do you think that you might have Erectile Dysfunction?
