A normal prostate is about the size of a walnut, but what
Speaker:happens when it swells to 212 grams, over six times its normal
Speaker:size? Sure, TURP surgery will help you pee again, but it
Speaker:completely ignores the root cause. If you want to actually
Speaker:shrink your prostate, boost your blood flow, and get your
Speaker:erectile function back, a band aid fix won't cut it. Today, I'm
Speaker:breaking down the exact diet, nitric oxide supplements, and
Speaker:targeted therapies, including the specific probes and messages
Speaker:from my store, that you need to fix the real problem. Let's get
Speaker:into it.
Speaker:This podcast is for you, the Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong,
Speaker:your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best
Speaker:selling author of the book, Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll
Speaker:do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how
Speaker:it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get
Speaker:started, and be sure to visit my website at
Speaker:sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and
Speaker:resources from the show. See you on the inside.
Speaker:I have an enlarged prostate with a volume of 212 grams. Now,
Speaker:normal prostate volume is 30 grams. I've had a TURP, which
Speaker:helped. TURP, it's called transurethral resection of the
Speaker:prostate, which helped. Now, Viagra is not helping much
Speaker:lately. All right, so I just actually did a video on how pill
Speaker:does not help your ED. In fact, it's just a band aid, and
Speaker:oftentimes pill does not help, especially men that had enlarged
Speaker:prostate with TURP, because there's a reason why you have
Speaker:enlarged prostate. Some of it's genetic, but prostate gets
Speaker:inflamed. It gets enlarged because it's inflamed, and
Speaker:what's causing it for inflammation? Could it be that
Speaker:from your diet? Could it be from high cholesterol? Could it be
Speaker:from low or too much testosterone? Either low
Speaker:testosterone, too much testosterone, can irritate the
Speaker:prostate as well, too.
Speaker:So this is the bladder. This is the prostate. It sits behind the
Speaker:pubic bone. This imagine your body cut in half. This is the
Speaker:seminal vesicle where demon is stored. So the prostate should
Speaker:be the size of a walnut of 30 grams. You're six times larger
Speaker:than what normal size is. So when the prostate is enlarged,
Speaker:it presses on your urethra, where you go pee, where you
Speaker:urinate. Here's the urethra, and it goes through the penis, and
Speaker:where you urinate, right? When it's like 200 grams, it's heavy.
Speaker:It presses on the urethra. It also presses on the bladder as
Speaker:well, too. That's why you have urgency. That's why sometimes
Speaker:you have incomplete emptying of the urine, that's why you
Speaker:require TURP. With TURP, if they go through your penis and they
Speaker:And so now that you had a TURP, the TURP just fixes this here,
Speaker:just shave off the prostate area that is compressing your
Speaker:but it doesn't fix the whole enlargement of the prostate. So
Speaker:there's probably some nerve compression there, and I don't
Speaker:urethra. But when it's enlarged, the nerve that go to the penis
Speaker:know whether you have high cholesterol, high blood
Speaker:pressure, or maybe you smoke, or you may even have diabetes, all
Speaker:here sits on top of the prostate here, the pudendal nerve. The
Speaker:that contribute to ED as well. If you have that, then you need
Speaker:to start the Mediterranean diet and exercise 30 minutes three to
Speaker:nerve that goes to the penis, sits on top of the prostate. So,
Speaker:four times a week to get your blood pressure under control,
Speaker:your cholesterol under control, and your diabetes. So, men with
Speaker:when the prostate is enlarged, that nerve gets compressed, like
Speaker:diabetes are five to seven times more likely to get ED without
Speaker:even an enlarged prostate. So, that's the reason why Viagra is
Speaker:pressure compressed, so that indirectly affects the penis and
Speaker:not helping, because Viagra does not affect the nerve. Viagra
Speaker:only does, it just helps you increase nitric oxide in the
Speaker:affect ED. So, the nerve that sits on top, right here that
Speaker:penis muscle, that's how it helps with the erection. But if
Speaker:you have an enlarged prostate, it's the nerve that's affected.
Speaker:goes through the period, gets affected. So that's why enlarged
Speaker:When the nerve is affected, then you need to work on decreasing
Speaker:the size of this prostate. So there's one way you can decrease
Speaker:prostate indirectly can affect erection.
Speaker:the size of the prostate, is to use a prostate massager. You can
Speaker:go to our store and get a prostate massager at Ed No
Speaker:More.com Our store is where you can get the prostate massager.
Speaker:But I also have a prostate probe that can also help decreasing
Speaker:the size of the prostate. Okay? What it is, I did that one of my
Speaker:videos where I talked about the vibrator that goes up, you put
Speaker:that through the rectum and goes up to here and give infrared
Speaker:heat to the prostate to help bring in more blood flow to
Speaker:decrease the size of the prostate. So for the person that
Speaker:asked me on the prostate right here, Kevin, is that the reason
Speaker:why you have ED because the nerve is getting compressed, and
Speaker:that sits on top of the prostate. You need to decrease
Speaker:the size of the prostate, even though you have the TURP that
Speaker:just relieving your symptoms of urination, but it doesn't
Speaker:decrease the whole entire size of the prostate. The prostate
Speaker:needs to be smaller. I mean, prostate normal size is 30
Speaker:grams, you're 200, 6 times more than, and it's just pushing up
Speaker:on the bladder, it's pushing up on the nerve here. So, email our
Speaker:office, please. Email our office right here to get that prostate
Speaker:machine that you can do at home, and I actually will give you a
Speaker:video. I show you how to do it, how to insert that in. You do
Speaker:that daily for about six weeks, you will see an improvement in
Speaker:the size of your prostate. The first thing you're going to see
Speaker:is your urination will also improve as well, too. So you
Speaker:need to decrease the size of the prostate, and I assume it's not
Speaker:prostate cancer, and you need to decrease the size of the
Speaker:prostate, or for that way it doesn't affect your ED. And then
Speaker:also start the Mediterranean diet, start exercising, because
Speaker:factors that irritate your prostate are high sugar and high
Speaker:cholesterol and high blood pressure, but all those factors
Speaker:are also factors that contribute to ED as well, too. And also,
Speaker:get your hormones checked. Low testosterone and high
Speaker:testosterone will irritate your prostate, will make the prostate
Speaker:higher. And then also get your DHT level, dihydrotestosterone
Speaker:levels checked. You don't want that level to be high. When that
Speaker:level is high, that's gonna irritate the prostate, make it
Speaker:higher, especially it becomes high when men on testosterone
Speaker:replacement therapy. You don't get frequent blood work, so when
Speaker:you don't get frequent blood work, that level gets converted
Speaker:from testosterone, and it may be high without you knowing about
Speaker:it, and then your prostate gets enlarged, and you'll be in more
Speaker:trouble than you want to be.
Speaker:So, treat the prostate with the prostate massager, and then once
Speaker:you treat the prostate, you would then notice improvement in
Speaker:your symptoms and prop in your erection. I would advise you
Speaker:also to do a penis pump as well. When you do a penis pump, you're
Speaker:also exercising your penis, bringing more blood flow to the
Speaker:penis until the prostate size decreases, and then rehabbing
Speaker:the penis with the pump. I hope your urologist told you to use
Speaker:the penis pump after the TURP, or whether you have a pump or
Speaker:not. You can also get it at our store at ED No More.com So this
Speaker:is a penis pump I recommend. It's electric penis pump, or you
Speaker:can get manual penis pump that people like. Some people like
Speaker:electric, depends on your preference. And I also recommend
Speaker:you take nitric oxide. This nitric oxide here, you do this
Speaker:30 minutes before you pump, and what it does, it help you get
Speaker:more blood flow to the penis before you pump. This nitric
Speaker:oxide is like unlike any other nitric oxide, because it's made
Speaker:from arugula directly. Ao that means that when you take this,
Speaker:it gives you nitric oxide directly, instead of if you're
Speaker:going to take L-arginine, L-citrulline, your body still
Speaker:has to convert it to nitric oxide. So it's kind of like it
Speaker:bypass the step that your body has to make the nitric oxide.
Speaker:When you take this nitric oxide, you get nitric oxide in your
Speaker:body right away, but if you take other supplement that has
Speaker:L-citrulline, L-arginine, when you take it, your body still has
Speaker:to convert it to nitric oxide through an enzyme, however,
Speaker:sometimes that enzyme after the age of 40 doesn't work. 50% of
Speaker:people after the age of 40 do not have that nitric oxide
Speaker:enzyme working, so you could just be wasting your time and
Speaker:wasting your money by taking L-citrulline, L-arginine enzyme
Speaker:in your body is not converting it to nitric oxide, you see what
Speaker:I'm saying. So you're just gonna have a very expensive urine,
Speaker:because your body will just pee iy out anyway. Versus the nitric
Speaker:oxide that we have. When you take it, it gives you nitric
Speaker:oxide, your body don't have to do anything to convert it. So, I
Speaker:suggest you take two before you pump. You can take up to four a
Speaker:day, however, don't take it more than four, because it does lower
Speaker:your blood pressure somewhat as well, too. So I wanted to show
Speaker:you the ingredients that we have here. And I thought that we also
Speaker:prostate machine here too, but we won't have it back on again,
Speaker:and just email my office, Kevin, at [email protected] and
Speaker:we'll send you that machine. Okay?
Speaker:So I hope that was helpful for you. So this is the email here,
Speaker:all right.
Speaker:Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and you don't have to
Speaker:suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating, and even
