Men's Health Matters: Insights from Dr. Tom Walsh
I think the downside is you got to take a little time out of your life to go do it. Many men aren't aware of this or of all the treatment options that a board-certified urologist can offer. Get tested, because colorectal cancer screening really does save lives.
When was the last time you heard men openly discuss their health concerns? In this engaging episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', Dr. Tom Walsh, director of The University of Washington's men's health center and associate professor of urology, joins host Neil Scott to tackle some of the most pressing issues in men's health. This is the first installment of the Men's Health Monthly series, and it's packed with vital information that every man—and those who care about them—should hear.
Dr. Walsh breaks down the barriers that often prevent men from seeking healthcare, such as denial and fear, and sheds light on the importance of sexual health. The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like prostate cancer and its treatment consequences, emphasizing the critical role of partner support and the necessity of regular testing for prostate and colorectal cancers.
Erectile dysfunction, a subject many find difficult to discuss, is also on the table, along with the effects of marijuana and testosterone therapy. Dr. Walsh wraps up by stressing the importance of self-care throughout a man's life, from dealing with fertility and testicular cancer in younger years to managing prostate issues and urinary troubles as they age.
Whether you're a man looking to take charge of your health or someone supporting a loved one, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical advice.
