I joined @thismorning on ITV to talk about phalloplasty. As Paul Lucas's treating surgeon, I explained the different steps of reconstruction. #phalloplasty #andrology #menshealthexpert

New on the site: a systematic review on a rare complication after penile prosthesis insertion - spontaneous autoinflation of the device. Rare, but worth understanding. Full paper: buff.ly/OKHJd5A #andrology #penileprosthesis

As Urology Awareness Month draws to a close, the message remains all year: whatever you've noticed and put off - speak to a doctor. Effective help is available for ED, urinary symptoms, and fertility concerns. #urologyawarenessmonth

Back from Ghent after ESGURS-ESAU. 🎙 I spoke on the failed phalloplasty and took part in the priapism debate on shunting vs early implant. Great discussions with colleagues. #ESGURS #ESAU #andrology

Andrology myth-buster. 🔍 "Nothing can be done about premature ejaculation - you just have to live with it." Not true. Behavioural techniques, topical treatments, and medications all help. PE is genuinely treatable. #prematureejaculation #andrology

Do GLP-1 drugs improve male fertility? Changes in testosterone or semen do not prove more pregnancies or live births. Our new Andrology review maps what the evidence can—and cannot—tell men taking diabetes or obesity drugs. doi.org/10.1111/andr... #MaleFertility
Square infographic titled “GLP-1 drugs & male fertility.” It contrasts possible changes in hormones, sexual function or semen measures with the lack of established improvement in conception or live birth. Broul et al., Andrology 2026. DOI: 10.1111/andr.70366.

Premature Ejaculation, Part 4/4: Treatment. First-line options: behavioural techniques, topical anaesthetics, and on-demand medication such as dapoxetine. If it's affecting you or your relationship, that's reason enough to get help. #prematureejaculation #andrology

Did you know? 💡 Premature ejaculation affects around 1 in 5 men at some point - making it more common than erectile dysfunction. Yet it remains one of the least discussed male sexual health conditions. #PrematureEjaculation #andrology

PE's impact goes beyond the bedroom - linked to anxiety, avoidance of intimacy, and relationship strain. Diagnosis is largely based on history and a validated questionnaire. #prematureejaculation #andrology

See someone if you have: 🔹 Pain, splitting, or bleeding of the foreskin 🔹 Recurrent infections 🔹 White, scarred skin (possible lichen sclerosus) 🔹 Difficulty with sex or urination Don't wait it out. It's treatable. #phimosis #menshealthexpert

Did you know? 🔬 #Testosterone affects more than libido, like energy, mood, muscle, bone density and focus. Low levels go unnoticed and can harm quality of life. Feeling off? Get tested. #menshealthexpert

#Phimosis - Treatment. 1️⃣ Topical steroid cream: often effective, avoids surgery 2️⃣ Preputioplasty: foreskin-preserving surgery 3️⃣ Circumcision: definitive, sometimes necessary 4️⃣ Novoglan: a new non-invasive option The right choice depends on the cause. #menshealth

"Talking about men's sexual health problems means something is seriously wrong with you." No. Conditions like ED, PE, and phimosis are common and treatable. The only real mistake is staying silent and missing out on help. #menshealthexpert

#Phimosis - Causes In adults, it's often acquired, caused by: 🔹 Recurrent infection or inflammation (balanitis) 🔹 Skin conditions like lichen sclerosus 🔹 Scarring from forceful retraction 🔹 Poorly controlled diabetes The cause shapes the treatment. #menshealth

#Phimosis is when the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis. It's common, it's normal in young boys, but in adults it can cause real problems. Over the next 4 Fridays, I'll explain what to do about it. #menshealthexpert

Did you know? 🔬 Male factors contribute to around half of all cases of difficulty conceiving yet men are often assessed last, if at all. A simple semen analysis is one of the most useful first steps. Fertility is not just a female issue. #menshealthexpert

Myth-buster: "Erectile dysfunction is just part of getting older." Not true. ED is more common with age, but it's not inevitable and it's often an early warning sign of treatable conditions like heart disease or diabetes. Talk to your doctor. #menshealthexpert

#Priapism - When is surgery the answer When ischaemic priapism causes irreversible damage, early #penileprosthesis implantation can preserve length and restore function. Timing matters: operating before dense scarring sets in leads to better outcomes. #menshealth

#Priapism - Treatment. For ischaemic priapism, treatment escalates quickly: 1️⃣ Aspiration of trapped blood 2️⃣ Injection of medication to reduce blood flow 3️⃣ Surgical shunt if needed The earlier we act, the better the chance of preserving function. #menshealthexpert

#Priapism - Causes & types. 🧵 🔴 Ischaemic (low-flow): blood can't leave the penis. Painful and an emergency. 🔵 Non-ischaemic (high-flow): usually from injury, less urgent, often painless. Causes range from sickle cell disease to ED injections. #menshealthexpert

When is sperm retrieval the better option? If the vasectomy was many years ago, fertility factors on the partner’s side, or if a previous reversal failed. The right answer is always individual. More information at buff.ly/U0LsRNW #malefertility #andrology
