Join me, Suzanne Noble, as I chat with the brilliant Dr. Pete Tsambarlis, an associate professor of urology at Northwestern University, who knows more about prostates than most of us know about our morning coffee! Dr. Tsambarlis was introduced to me by a patient of his, fellow Substacker Bob Mizek-Menopause for men, so I knew we were going to have a fascinating conversation around importance of understanding prostate cancer, the effects of treatment on erectile function, and the recovery timeline after surgery.
Dr. Tsambarlis emphasised the role of medications, Lifestyle changes, and the significance of having a supportive healthcare team. The conversation also touches on Peyronie’s disease and the importance of proactive Health management for better sexual outcomes.
Listen as Dr. Tsambarlis shares his Wisdom on everything from avoiding the dreaded prostate cancer to why your heart health is your best friend below the belt plus tips on how to have those awkward conversations with your doctor without embarrassment or shame.
