Speaker 1 (00:00):
Robin Kid and Choreotes. It's Robin Kevin Choreot's on Kiss
ninety seven to three.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
I know it's the end of June and you've not
mentioned it, so I feel like I need to take
the responsibility into my own hands and advise you boys
both and anyone else that this is passed by. Is
that June is men's health month.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
We knew that. Well, they give us a whole month
because I know we'll forget if it's a day right
to the end of the month.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
And I figured that one person who could really help
with this is Mandy, who works in men's health, but
in one particular area. Hello, Mandy, good morning.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
How are you.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yes, it's good. Now tell these boys what you do.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Ah, I'm a men's health nurse. What does that mean?
I deal with men with erecto dysfunction?

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Ah?

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Okay, I think this is a great month to be
having this talk. This is about a million men in
Australia that suffer from AD, but only about five percent
of those men seek treatment.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
That's that right, did you say?

Speaker 5 (01:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:01):
So you're looking at over the age of forty, approximately
twenty percent of men will have some form of a
rector dysfunction. Now, that doesn't mean that they can't get
an erection, but that they're having issues keeping it, maintaining
a strong enough erection, or they can't get one at all.
So it's often a bit of a warning light for
the body, and it can indicate many other health issues

(01:22):
happening underneath it. So often two to four years before
a man has a heart attack, they can start to
get a rector dysfunction. So, you know, i'd say to
any guy, if you're having these issues and there's no
other cause, don't get your heart checked and make sure
everythink's okay. Absolutely, because about forty percent of ED comes
from vascular issues.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Wow, So, Mandy, are we talking just to older men
over sixty with prostate issues because that's often where people
associate those two things together.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
No, prostate cancer is about six percent of ED. Diabetes
is a big risk. If you've had diabetes for ten years,
you're at a fifty percent greater risk of suffering from ED.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Right and so and so that story about heart attacks, like,
it's such a good reason to get things tested out.
If things aren't working down there, it's probably an indicator
that things aren't working in other places.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah. Yeah, and then there's the old story. If you
don't use it, you lose it. From day one, are
suffering from eg a man starts to lose length. Now
we know no man wants to lose length in that
area at all. Who The easiest way I explain this
to patients is if you don't water your popmate, you leaves,
shrivel up and die.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Boys, I don't want you to get too excited, but
the average male gets six to eight erections a day.
It's normally while you're asleep. But the reason the body
does this is to put nourishment into that tissue.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Mandy, there are very few times in this studio where
you deem the two fellas that I work with into silence. Yeah,
and you have just done that.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
So if you don't use it, you lose it. That
is such a big warning, like if you have having problems,
don't wait to go and get it checked out. But
see today you'll got me at.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Have I had enough my allocations today?

Speaker 2 (03:10):
The biggest question is what can you do?

Speaker 4 (03:14):
There are so many treatments available, and unfortunately I've had
patients tell me that their doctors told them there's a
tablet and nothing else. There's things you can do like
injections into needle to that area.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Do you know, tend to that place is and we're
talking about a we're talking about it's all about it.

Speaker 5 (03:32):
That is needle.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
And then there's a thing of vacuum.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Divide what does this do for reproduction? What does this do?
Because this is not for every one person you've mentioned,
there's probably whole families that are dealing with the consequences
of this.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Look, there's yeah, I suppose there's always ibs. You know,
there's ways around doing sperm retrieval for men. But it
comes down to, you know, if we break our arm,
we get it fixed. So I often wont say to Patie,
even if you only want to pump it up and
hang your towel on it, that's what makes you happy.
Every man should be able to have their body in
full functioning order. So you said, men, you know, need

(04:09):
to go get checked.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Can it sometimes be a simple blood test or has
it got to be.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
A lot of things? Yeah, Look, there's lots lots involved.
There's many health issues like we've mentioned with cutting about slate,
with diabetes, with cross state cancers, things like PTSD depression,
certain medications. There's lots of reasons why men will suffer this,
So I think it's really important to talk to your
doctor and have a talk to them about issues that
you're going through and being referred on to the correct

(04:39):
person who can help you in those areas.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
If you wanted to do a quick test at home,
like how many towels should you be able to hang
off it?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Just how long should we say? If it can shrink,
can it grow?

Speaker 4 (04:56):
The problem is once you lose that length, you can't
be guaranteed that you're AH.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
That is a great warning today if you take nothing
else out of this chat, use it or lose it.
Thank you for starting our conversation for Men's Health Month.
And if you would like Mandy's details, you can of
her workplace of course, not just for dates.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
You can contact us here. Thanks Mandy.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
It's Men's Health Month and we've been chatting about all
sorts of things for men's health.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
We had Mandy on who's working at.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Men's Health, Yes, so she was giving us all the stats.
But there is one guy that we always reference when
it comes to this sort of stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yes, and his name is doctor Eric Chung. He joins us.
Now get a doctor. Chung.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
Good there, Robin Kill and Corey, how about all of you?
Very good, good, thanks you, I am good, Thank you
very much.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
When we chatted to Mandy earlier, she deals with a
lot of people conversationally and finding out what's wrong. But
you actually get involved with the surgery for a rectole dysfunction,
amongst other things.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yeah, I mean, like the biggest thing we'd like to
say is that we're trying to restore it quite your
f life rather than talking about your rector dysfunction. Because
people don't like to know that they're dysfunction. People like
to know that they are normal, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, And the thing is we have all these health
concerns as we get older. Like the other day, I
was doing heaps of gardening for a couple of days
and my hand was sore for days. Right, And so
you don't just go, oh no, I'll just forget about that.
I'm just not going to use my hand ever again.
You work it out because there's cures to these ailments
and people just need to ask for help.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
So for all the men that come and see you
with all of their problems, is what is the number
one thing that you're dealing with, and what is your
success rate?

Speaker 5 (06:36):
I think the first thing that people, especially from an
erection point of view, they always say to me, doctor,
I want to have bigger pinners, and we can't get
you back to a twelve inch pinnis. All we can
do is to try to make it as good as
it can be. So it's about trying to restore what
they need.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
So the size of your forearm isn't the size of
the weapon downstairs?

Speaker 5 (06:56):
I think we cover it before, didn't we We cover
by the size of the north favor the fair hang on?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
What is again? For those that miss it? What's the
what's the best actual measurement?

Speaker 5 (07:07):
I think the best thing is look at the side
of the wallet.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
You got enough, you can make it.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
What we heard from Mandy the other day, which was
really concerning and a lot of people wouldn't have heard,
is that you know, if you don't use it, you
lose it. So when you're talking about restoring the length,
if you have a rectoral dysfunction for a number of
years and you don't do anything about it, you may
never get your former powers back.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Well, I think so, isn't It's a bit like you
missed the opportunity to enjoy your life. So I think
a lot of time people wait and wet and wit
because they're embarrassed, because they're not sure where to ask,
or they're just ignorant the fact that they think that
this is normal part of aging process. So a lot
of time is about trying to get patients and knowledge
to know that there is hope and also whether they
want to undergo treatment.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
So the sooner you do something, though, the better. The
sooner you go.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Let's ask a question about this, so your success rate
is good.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
We'll put it this way. Once you put in the device,
it's just like putting like a like a like a hip. Right,
So once the device is in, it works hundred percent
as a device that gives you the erection. So it's
what we call a peanut prostesis device.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Okay, so do you get the sensation as well as
the reaction.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
So you get the same sensation you you in it,
the same, you orgasm the same. The only thing difference
is that you get a guarantee erection and also erection
that can last however long you want to last.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
For Wow, you have made these guys think a lot
is it is it expensive.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
It isn't like having any surgeries if you don't have
health insurance, and obviously you hope that your public hospital
come away.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Give me, give me your average age who's doing this.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
It ranges a lot, so we have people as young
as like in their twenties, so those are people with
diabetes where they have bad nerves and blood vessels, and
all the way to people in their like ages who
are still like spit and healthy and enjoy your.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Life interesting, don't don't want to hang up your boots.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
Oh yeah, you don't want to think about your parents
having sex.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Right have an eighty year old with just a magnificent penis.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Doctor Chug, you are doing good work, Yes you are,
and you are saving families.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
I have no doubt that we're saving live we're saving
the country.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Than all my pleasure.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Thanks again for having me

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Robin Kith and coyotes in the morning.
