In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee ire joined by friend of the practice, Dr. Eggleston of Breast Reconstruction Associates. Dr. Eggleston performs complicated microsurgical reconstructions for women recovering from breast cancer. Today, Dr. Eggleston describes several surgical options for women diagnosed with breast cancer. Among these are the choice to have implants, the choice to have a "diep flap" breast reconstruction which uses the patient's own tissue to create a "living breast" with intact blood vessels, and the choice to eschew breast reconstruction entirely in favor of a "flat chested" look. No matter your age or your cancer, Dr. Eggleston and his colleagues at Breast Reconstruction Associates want you to know that you have a range of options. 

Dr. Eggleston is also incredibly skilled at helping women and their partners navigate the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies a breast cancer diagnosis and the resulting surgical reconstruction. With compassionate guidance, both women and their partners are encouraged to explore the expectations they have for breast look, feel, and sensation after surgery. If you or someone you know has been recently diagnosed with breast cancer or is interested in learning more about the reconstructive surgeries possible at Breast Reconstruction Associates, please give Dr. Eggleston a call today at (512) 763-4545 or online at txdiepflap.com.

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a listener's question about sneezing after sex. A variety of things can trigger an allergic or inflammatory response in this situation--an allergy to the condom, lubricant, or other item used during the sexual encounter is possible. There could also be an allergy to any erectile dysfunction medications taken prior to intercourse, such as Viagra. Conversely, heavy breathing during sex could be prompting the listener to inhale some environmental substance that is then triggering the allergic response. Regardless of the cause, the listener might try to manage the symptoms by taking a Benadryl or Pepcid tablet (both of which block the inflammatory response) before initiating sex to see if that helps. Also in this segment, Dr. Mistry talks about the joys of building a sexual connection with your parter even when traditional intercourse (penis>vagina penetration) isn't an option. At NAU Urology Specialists, our providers offer patients the full range of options for enriching their sex life, including the use of sex toys. If you or your partner are struggling to achieve satisfaction via your typical sexual routine, let our staff give you suggestions for spicing things up by thinking outside of the box!

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee discuss the often dreaded cystoscopy. Urologists use this procedure to examine the inside of the bladder by inserting a very small and well lubricated camera into the urethra. While many patients are understandably worried about pain and discomfort during a cystoscopy, Dr. Mistry and his team at NAU Urology Specialists know how to make it as relaxing and pain-free as possible! From the use of prescription Valium (when patients bring a driver to their appointment) to the calming use of deep breaths and distraction techniques, this important and sometimes life-saving look into the bladder will be over before you know it! There is no better way to detect bladder cancer, so if your urologist recommends getting a cystoscopy, we recommend you do, too!

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a young listener's question about low libido. While a decreased desire for sex can affect men of any age, it is certainly more atypical in very young men. Some obvious causes of low libido are psychological elements like stress, depression, or anxiety, and these can often be treated through some combination of psychotherapy, medication, and/or addressing the root cause (eliminating the source of stress, for example). More serious psychological aversions such as sexual aversion disorder may require specialist therapy, such as the sex therapy offered at NAU Urology Specialists. Beyond psychological considerations, there are physiological causes like hormone imbalances, which may cycle on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Prolactin is one hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain that can suppress libido if produced in excess. Simple blood tests can identify if hormones are at the root of your low libido, and medications to regulate hormone levels are easy to take and affordable. Finally, there is the "chicken-and-egg" conundrum Dr. Mistry so often describes: which came first? The low libido or the erectile dysfunction? While you can have one without the other, they are so often co-occurring that diagnosing which one is causing the other presents a significant problem to urologists. The important thing to recognize is that the treatment prescribed will only be effective if the diagnosis is accurate. If you're prescribed testosterone for erectile dysfunction when you're really suffering from low libido due to chronic stress, hormonal therapy may not fully address the issue. Having a thorough evaluation from a holistic urology practice is crucial to obtaining the best health outcome. If you or a young man you love are suffering from low libido, erectile dysfunction, or other atypical urologic complaints, know that our team at NAU Urology Specialists take these complaints in young people very seriously. Call us today for a consultation!

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a young listener's question on urinary burning and urethral complaints after receiving oral intercourse. After STDs were ruled out, this relatively healthy and very young man's diagnosis was prostatitis, a bacterial infection of the prostate. Now, after months of continued symptoms despite taking antibiotics and other prescription medications in search of relief, he is looking for a second opinion. Dr. Mistry points out that this infection has lasted too long to be a "run of the mill" bacterial infection. The patient should complete a PCR urine test to check the DNA of his bacteria in order to better diagnose his condition. No matter the origin of the symptoms, Dr. Mistry recommends pelvic floor physical therapy to relax the pelvic floor and relieve urethral burning. He also suggests the use of lidocaine and steroid creams, which reduce painful burning in the tip of the penis for 90%  of patients. Finally, although this patient has a history of healthy eating, a consultation with our functional medicine practitioner and wellness guru Shefaly Ravula can help identify any food sensitivities that may be contributing to irritative symptoms. It is crucial that patients young and old adopt a proactive approach to their health and continue to advocate for themselves along their wellness journey. If you or someone you love would like a consultation with our experienced, compassionate, and holistic team, give us a call today!

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a listener's question on Peyronie's disease. If you have developed a bend in your penis or if, when erect, it stands at an unnatural angle, you may have Peyronie's disease. While the exact cause is unknown, Peyronie's disease may be caused by the slowly accumulating effects of microtrauma to the penis sustained during intercourse with a less-than-fully-erect penis. Scar tissue can develop along the penis shaft, causing the often painful and distressing changes associated with this incredibly common condition. More severe, acute trauma to the penis can also cause Peyronie's to develop practically overnight, so please be careful when having vigorous intercourse--the most common cause of serious penile trauma.

Fortunately, there are many treatments for Peyronie's disease that address it's various causes and effects. In this episode, Dr. Mistry describes the use of Xiaflex injections which help break down hard plaques and work in conjunction with a penile straightening device to reduce the curvature. If this approach is unsuccessful, patients often opt for surgical intervention. Dr. Mistry describes the minimally invasive Nesbit plication surgery in which the penis is straightened without lots of surgical cutting, but a small overall loss in penis length is sustained. Another surgical intervention is the patch graft phalloplasty, which is a more intense surgery but one that offers the benefit of no loss in penis length. Both options require a skilled surgeon who has prepped his or her patients on the costs/benefits of the intervention and helped them understand what to expect with recovery. If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with Peyronie's disease or are seeing the development of a curvature in your penis, please give us a call and we'll take excellent care of you.

In this segment,  NAU Urology Specialists' partner and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Angela Treadway talks about testicle pain and pelvic floor troubles with our very own Donna Lee. Dr. Treadway explains the many kinds of testicle pain and how they can be linked to over or under exercising. Often old injuries are aggravated by changes in lifestyle such as a new exercise regimen or a change to more sedentary work. Sitting in a stooped posture can worsen existing pain by shifting weight onto your tailbone, causing misalignment in the spine and over-tightening of the pelvic floor muscles. In an attempt to combat this problem, the body often "tucks" the tailbone much like a puppy tucks his tail when stressed. Fortunately, Dr. Treadway has decades of experience relieving all manner of pelvic floor problems, particularly through the use of biofeedback sensors that help patients understand how to lengthen and strengthen those muscles. If you or someone you love is experiencing pelvic pain including testicle pain, urinary and/or fecal incontinence, please give us a call today and let Dr. Treadway help you get that tail wagging again!

That's right, folks. If you or someone you love has low testosterone levels, it may be time to begin a safe, convenient, and entirely affordable testosterone supplementation regimen that will leave you feeling healthier, younger, and more virile!

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a listener question about the link between ED and low sexual desire. Dr. Mistry's favorite analogy to describe this connection is golf: if you're a terrible golfer, you probably don't golf very often or find it enjoyable. Likewise, if you don't find golf to be interesting or fun, you aren't likely to pursue it. The same is true for sex: if you're having difficulty achieving sexual satisfaction (for a variety of reasons, including ED), you may not want to have sex; but if your desire to have sex is low, you're also unlikely to do it. No matter the cause of your troubles, Dr. Mistry and his team at NAU Urology Specialists can help get you back on the fairway and swinging with confidence!
