What a night! I was so grateful to join the panel at last night’s Let’s Talk Perimenopause & Menopause event, alongside some incredible women sharing their knowledge and experience. My biggest takeaway for anyone navigating this stage of life: your symptoms are real, your questions matter, and you don’t have to just push through. Support is out there.

Thank you to INSPIRE + COLLABORATE for creating such a warm, open space.

Exciting news! I recently had the pleasure of joining Dr Amy Pearlman and Dr Larry Lipshultz on their podcast, Fertility and Other F Words.

We talked about relationships, intimacy, and the new vardenafil nasal spray for erectile dysfunction that has just launched in the US. It’s a game-changer for many men and their partners.

The episode drops in the next few months, so keep an eye out! In the meantime, check out their back catalogue. It’s packed with fantastic, honest conversations about men’s health.

I recently presented our research poster at the 27th Annual Fall Scientific Meeting in Orlando Florida.

At Restorative Health Clinic we looked at how men went using a vardenafil nasal spray after tablets hadn’t worked well enough for them. Many of these men had been through prostate cancer treatment.

Of the 147 men who used it and reported back:
68% had firmer er****ons and or had penetrative s*x
95% of men who switched for convenience and spontaneity got the result they were after

Side effects were common, mostly a brief stinging in the nose, and usually settled within about 5-15 minutes.

This was a restrospective real-world study. It’s encouraging to see another option for men who want to avoid injections or devices.

If er****ons are a struggle, talk to your health professional. You have options.

A rock-solid er****on that won’t go away might sound like a fantasy to some men, but it’s not a bonus, it’s a medical condition called priapism, and it can cause serious long-term damage to your p***s tissue.

This is different to a semi-er****on hanging around for a couple of hours, which is actually not a problem. If your er****on is fully rigid and painful for two hours or more, that’s when you need to take action. The longer it continues, the greater the risk of permanent damage to the smooth muscle inside the p***s, which can mean long-term erectile dysfunction.

I’ve just uploaded a YouTube video walking through exactly what priapism is, the step-by-step rescue plan if it happens to you, and the hard line for when you need to get to an emergency department.

One of the biggest myths I hear is that a p***s has to be perfectly straight to be “normal”.

The truth is, many men naturally have some degree of curvature, and if it’s always been that way, isn’t painful, and isn’t affecting your s*x life, it’s usually just part of your normal anatomy.

What I do want men to pay attention to is a curve that’s new, getting worse, painful, or making s*x difficult. Those changes could be a sign of Peyronie’s disease, and the earlier you get it assessed, the more options you may have.

I’ve just uploaded a new YouTube video explaining the signs of Peyronie’s disease, what not to do, and when to seek help.

One of the biggest mistakes I see with p***s pumps is men trying to pump as hard and as fast as possible.

A Vacuum Er****on Device (VED) isn’t a race. The best results come from slow, controlled suction. Pump a little, pause, let the p***s respond, then pump again. More pressure doesn’t create a better er****on, it simply increases the risk of pain, bruising and swelling.

Whether you’re using a VED for erectile dysfunction or pe**le rehabilitation, technique really matters.

I’ve just uploaded a new YouTube video explaining how often to use a VED, how long a session should take, and the common mistakes to avoid.

You may have heard the news of Jeremy Clarkson’s prostate cancer diagnosis and his powerful message urging men to get checked.

First, thank you for sharing your story so openly. Conversations like this save lives.

One of the biggest barriers to prostate cancer testing has always been fear, fear of the examination, fear of treatment, and fear of the unknown. The good news is that many of those fears are based on outdated information.

A PSA blood test is often the first step, and treatment does not automatically mean lifelong incontinence or erectile dysfunction. Like any health challenge, recovery and rehabilitation matter, and help is available.

My message is simple: if you’re a man, talk to your GP about your prostate health. If you’re a partner, encourage the men you love to get checked. As Jeremy said, please, please, please go and get checked.

The moment I mention pe**le injections, most men look absolutely terrified.

I completely understand, but what surprises most men is how little it actually hurts. It’s a tiny needle, and with the right technique, most people quickly gain the confidence to do it themselves at home.

When appropriate, pe**le injections can be a highly effective treatment for erectile dysfunction and can help restore confidence and intimacy.

I’ve just uploaded a recent YouTube video where I walk you through the process step by step. Head to the link in my bio to watch the full tutorial.

I often hear men use the terms p***s pump and VED as though they mean exactly the same thing. While they work on a similar principle, there are some important differences that every man should understand before buying one.

For some men, a VED is part of an erectile dysfunction treatment plan. For others, it’s used as part of pe**le rehabilitation after prostate cancer treatment or pelvic surgery. The right device and technique depend on your goal.

One thing I always encourage men to be cautious about is claims around permanent enlargement. A pump can create temporary swelling and fullness, but temporary changes are not the same as permanent growth.

If you’re considering a pump, make sure you’re choosing a device that matches your needs and comes with appropriate safety features, instructions and support.

You can explore our range of clinically selected & tested pumps at rshealth.com.au/shop, and watch my full YouTube video for a detailed explanation of the differences between p***s pumps and medical VEDs. Link is in my bio.
