June is Men’s Health Month! 

Erectile dysfunction can be a good indicator of a man’s overall health and is often a symptom of an underlying health problem. Now that the safety guidelines are being relaxed after the pandemic, men can finally go and see their physicians for their routine healthcare maintenance. They will get the opportunity to address any health concerns they may be having, including any issues with sexual dysfunction, which many men tend to experience. 

Research has suggested that COVID-19 has had an impact on men’s sexual health, particularly with erectile dysfunction. In this episode, Dr. Pohlman will get you up to speed with everything you need to know about the effect of COVID-19 on a man’s sexual health, so be sure to stay tuned!
