'Lifting the Kilt‪'‬ MHDU

It is a subject many men do not want to talk about, but male incontinence can be a life changing issue and can be especially prevelent after prostate surgery.  

In this episode Dr Jack Pacey the inventor of the Pacey Cuff talks with us about his experience in assisting men with continence issues.   Dr Pacey is a Vascular surgeon, inventor of a number of medical devices and is currently the CEO of Pacey MedTech which is an organisation on the cutting edge of incontinence research.

This year, multi award winning Pharmacist and founder of Mens Health Downunder, Brad Butt, is travelling around Australia. Brad will be stopping off to present to anyone and everyone interested in prostate cancer with the hope of opening up conversations about mens urological health.

In this episode Brad discusses his upcoming trip and his passion for helping to improve mens health, especially in rural and remote communities.

Lets be honest. 

No one REALLY wants to take a pill and for as long as we've spoken to doctors and pharmacists and our allied health care team we've been told we "are what we eat" and that with a little bit of diet, exercise and self-care we can improve our overall health. 

In this episode we talk with Naturopath Alice Flannery to discuss Natural Treatment options for Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Alice will cover various foods and supplements along with lifestyle changes that can improve the outcomes for those suffering from ED.

In this episode we talk with Anel Martinez a Neurosexologist specialising in sex therapy and sex education, mental health and human behaviour about treatments for Premature Ejaculation (or PE).   Anel is based in Spain and works as a Clinical Sexologist for MYHIXEL.  
 
 MYHIXEL markets a system that combines an educational app and a lifelike device to create the perfect alternative to traditional medical treatments for premature ejaculation.    The system utilises Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (or CBT) to help men learn about the mind-body connection, and hopefully reduce their anxiety and improve their sex lives.
 
 As a non-pharmaceutical treatment for PE this could be the solution many men are looking for.

In this episode we talk with Stephen De Pretre from Belgium, the CEO of Sapphire Pharmaceuticals about the causes and various treatment options available for PE (or Premature Ejaculation).  Stephen also discusses in detail, his company’s PE treatment called Promescent, which is a topical lidocaine-based treatment may help some men who have PE issues.  This treatment may not be for everyone could provide an important tool in the toolbox for treating PE.

As time goes by and we use the same medication over several years, sometimes the problem we are medicating for can worsen and also the medication can become less effective.
Compounding is when a pharmacist “custom makes” a medication, providing a specialised solution for doctors and patients. Medications can be prepared in alternative ways by compounding pharmacies, so you take it in a slightly different way to improve its efficacy, which may mean no more swallowing tablets!  In this episode, Brad talks us through some of the different medication forms available and the possible benefits of these.
