MEDICAL FEARS PREVENTING SEXUAL HEALTH CARE IN MEN
I love Dr. Denise’s focus on restoring quality of life and normalizing that there’s no normal in sexual function and desires for men.
Instead of a disease-centered approach that puts a diagnosis in the spotlight, Dr. Denise focuses on getting back to enjoying life with a personal approach.
Dr. Denise Asafu-Adjei is a urologist with subspecialty training in sexual dysfunction and male infertility. She completed a Fellowship in Andrology at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). She will be joining the Urology Department at Loyola University in Chicago as the Medical Director of Male Reproductive Medicine.
We cover topics like:
The reason why men don’t seek out healthcare as often as women do
Penis-performance and other cultural expectations
Ultrasound and traction device therapy for Peyronie's disease
When you have a concern, the first step is finding a provider you trust to get reliable and accurate answers to your questions. Men tend to be less proactive in scheduling routine appointments with physicians and face social and cultural messages that can be constraining, misleading, and create fear around going to the doctor for sexual health concerns.
Because it’s not openly discussed, concerns and underlying causes may go untreated for years.
In my practice I see a gap in access to care, trust in the medical community, and not knowing when and who to schedule an appointment with when sexual health concerns arise. In Dr. Denise’s practice, she has seen patients struggling to talk about their sexual health and that many physicians aren’t comfortable talking about sex.
