You ever wonder what an ED consultation is like with a

doctor who specializes in sexual health?

This podcast is for you, the Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong,

your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best

selling author of the book, Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll

do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how

it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get

started, and be sure to visit my website at

sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and

resources from the show. See you on the inside.

Well, I'm Dr. Anne Truong. I've been a medical doctor for over

25 years. I've treated over 7000 men with ED. And today I'm going

to talk about what I do to evaluate a man with ED in my

.office and come up with a treatment plan, and why? Because

this will be informative for you. Because if you're thinking

about restoring your performance again, get rid of ED, this is

the step you need to take. Because ED is complex. You can't

figure it out yourself, because there are so many things that

are moving at this point when you have ED that you really need

to lean in to the professionals. However, if you really follow me

on my YouTube channel, you're going to get a lot of guide on

what to do, even on your own. I love to hear about it if you are

doing that. Okay?

So first, if you're a man, let's say you're 55 years old, and you

notice you've been having ED for the past year, you don't really

want to take Viagra, or maybe you did try Viagra, didn't

really work, and it's hit or miss, and your problem is that

you're able to get an erection, you just can't maintain it, and

that it goes soft, or penetration, and it's becoming

kind of problematic with your girlfriend, and it's kind of

causing some tension as well, and you don't know what you need

to do at this point. You're going online looking for stuff

like, should I buy this supplement, should I buy this,

should I get that, what should I do. Well, we're going to talk

about how to approach that situation. Say you reach out to

my office at the link down below, Renew With Dr. Anne.

You're going to schedule a time that you're going to talk with

my patient ambassador team, that which is run by my husband, Bao

Truong. So you're going to talk with somebody from there, and

then you're going to fill out your time. And then at the time

that is convenient for you, we'll call you on the phone, and

the purpose of this phone call is to find out how we can work

together to get the result that you want. We'll talk about

what's going on with you, what's your concern, what's your

difficulty, and what you like to happen, and whether what I do in

the office will fit for your need. It's a conversation that

can range from 10 minutes to 45 minutes. And if the things work

out that is your fit for what we can do to get you to performing

again, then what you do is you schedule a consultation. And if

the patient ambassador deemed that you are appropriate to get

same day in office treatment, then he will schedule you for

that as well, too. And our in-office treatment range

between 8000 to even 20,000 for ED restoration in as little as

five days, depending on your condition. But before you even

come in to the office, we have you do some preliminary work. I

will order comprehensive blood work that looks essentially from

your head to your toe, looking at your blood cell count, your

kidney, your liver, your hormones, how their nerve

function, inflammatory factors, looking at your blood sugar,

looking at your cholesterol, and looking at your testosterone

level. Essentially, you're going to get a comprehensive blood

work that's probably going to involve between, like, 10 tubes

that you go to the lab for, and they will draw it for you, the

result gets sent to me. And then when the time of the

appointment, when you show up, we already have that blood work

ready, so when you show up to the appointment, our office

would already send you details of questionnaire that you fill

out, as well as your medical history. So we would know all

your medical history, we would send you a questionnaire about

your ED severity, which is with the IIEF, your testosterone

questionnaire, which is the ADAM. We also send a

questionnaire for the prostate, which is the IPPS questionnaire,

to kind of see where you are in your prostate symptoms. And now

we're going to use the Perceived Stress Scale to assess your

stress level as well.

On the day of the visit, you come in, and we have all that

available, as well as your blood work. And you will then be

greeted with our team. You will bring to the room, and then I

will see you in the office, and the office will go over all the

paperwork, but we'll discuss what's important for you. What

are your struggles at this time? If your erection goes away when

you're firm, then it's most likely venous leak. And then I

will assess which one of the six system of the Get Hard System

that is broken down. The Get Hard System, look at six system,

which is the brain, and what's going on in the brain. Are you

able to get aroused? Are the five or the six senses that

normally start the erection, is that working right? I will

assess the brain function, whether you're able to get

aroused, and then I will assess your emotional statuses, and

some of that we do down the questionnaire, but also in

discussion with you as well, whether you're on medication or

not, whether you're under stress at this point. How's that going?

And then we'll assess for system number three, which is the

hormone, which is measured by the blood work, but then also

correlating that with the testosterone questionnaire,

which is the ADAM questionnaire. And then we'll also assess then

the nerve function, whether the nerve function is working

properly from the brain to the nerve by looking at the

parasympathetic nervous system. And we can look at the

parasympathetic nervous system by looking at your blood

pressure, your heart rate, your skin, the temperature of your

skin, as well as how your eyes look, and how your skin is, as

well. So I can tell whether you're in the parasympathetic

mode, a sympathetic mode, and that's the nerve, system number

four. System number five is the blood vessel, the heart. We'll

listen to your heart, we'll measure your pulses, see what

your pulse is like, and arm over your limbs, as well as in the

groin area. Feel your thyroid, look at your blood vessel, your

carotid, your heart, your pulses, your skin, to listen to

your heart lung. Assess for your abdomen, look at your leg to see

if you have any skin changes or any hair loss or loss of

temperature as well, which will tell me about your

parasympathetic sympathetic tone. And then that's the blood

vessel. And then we'll also look at the penis to assess for the

muscle to see if there's any nodule, such as Peyronie's, any

bending. We'll also assess for the state of the blood flow in

the penis, and if necessary, we'll do a Doppler ultrasound.

If not, it's okay most of the time with examination we'll know

what is going on by looking at the six system.

So I determine with six system is broken down that need to be

fix. And then from there the Get Hard System involve the

treatment that's going to restore function. So I, what

we're going to do, in order to let's say you lose it when

you're firm, which is the most common presentation of ED, then

we're going to bring in more blood flow to the penis by using

your own platelets from your, we would do at the same day

treatment, we will draw out your blood to draw out about 180 to

240 cc blood. But don't worry, you have 5000 ccs of that. But

we do big draw, and then we're gonna, that's gonna give us

about 60 billion platelets, which will help you make more

blood vessels, particularly in your penis. So that we draw the

blood, we put in a centrifuge, we analyze it, that becomes

platelet-rich plasma. That is then put into the penis. And

then on top of that, we also use focused shockwave, which is a

machine, and I've talked about this before, that goes in and

kind of get rid of any plaques, get rid of any scar tissue in

there, and also blood flow. And then I will also put in Botox

into the penis, 100 units of Botox into the penis. And what

the Botox does is that it relaxes the penis muscle in

order for it to be able to expand when blood flow comes in.

And then what we also are doing now is we do pulse

electromagnetic stimulation that is targeted around the groin

area in your penis as well as the pelvic area to detoxify and

begin healing again around the groin, the penis, and pelvic

area. That takes about 20 minutes. Doing the shockwav

takes about 25 minutes. And then we also do Kegel stimulation,

which is the pulsation of the kegel stimulation with a

machine, the Kegel stimulator machine that we put the

electrode onto the pelvic muscle to stimulate the muscle. You can

get about 8000, 10,000 contraction within about 25

minutes. All right, so we do that in the office, but we give

you that machine to take home to use at home. And then this is

not over yet. So then you will also get access to an app, which

is called Well World, that will help you stay on track for a

Mediterranean diet, exercise. You can input all your food in

there, and there's also meditation in there as well. I

believe in whole body healing. That's why I give you the app

for to keep you countable. Now the shock wave can be delivered

as one, it can be two, three shock wave, we can do that three

days in a row, or it can be six, which is done once a week for

six weeks.

So the whole evaluation is to find out the root cause why you

have ED, and if it is venous leak, then we look at it from

restoring function and erection by creating more blood flow in

the penis. So that way when the penis engorged with blood, it

would then compress the vein, so that way the blood doesn't come

out again. But we also make the pelvic muscle stronger by doing

the Kegel stimulation. So the whole goal is to treat the root

cause of why you have ED within the six systems, and then

restore function again. But to be honest with you, you have to

do the work. You have to do homework. After the treatment,

you have to continue and follow the Mediterranean diet. You have

to exercise. You have to sleep. You have to use the penis pump

as recommended, which it twice a day for six weeks, at least five

times a week, or so. Because the penis pump is your penis rehab

and exerciser.

Where can you get the penis pump? You can get the penis pump

at ED No More.com or check the link down below this video to

get the penis pump so you can start exercising your penis

again. Remember, you are only one pump away.

So the treatment that I do in the office, the Get Hard System,

is to boost you to stimulate erection again, stimulate

healing again, but you're gonna have to do homework to continue

it for long term. If you don't, it's almost like going to

school, and then you don't go home, you don't do your

homework, you're not going to be able to learn and go to the next

level and get longer term results. But all you need to do

is to follow the diet and the exercise, and doing the pump,

you get the Kegel machine. You're going to use the Kegel

machine at home as well, too. And if you have an enlarged

prostate, we can also treat that with our machine that goes into

the prostate, vibrated, and also does infrared heat treatment. We

are now instituting a new treatment that helps with the

brain in the emotion, mainly with performance anxiety and

calming down the stress system, and then stimulating the

parasympathetic nervous system. We are now doing it with a far

infrared machine that also have terra hertz, which this

technology is from NASA. Then we're borrowing that technology

in treating the nerve along the spine, the nerve along the neck,

as well as the groin and penis area to essentially stimulate

the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for

erection, and then calm down the stress system, which is the

sympathetic nervous system. We've been seeing great results,

and we do that once a week for three times. So now we're

addressing the emotional part. And if your testosterone level

is low, I would then also supplement with testosterone,

either through pellet insertion or through testosterone

injection at this point. Sometime we'll also add in

GLP-1, which is a weight loss medication, either through

injection or through oral, that will help lose the fat that you

may have. So that way, if you lose the fat, your testosterone

level will increase. We find that if men have more fat than

is needed and they're obese, it actually will dampen your

testosterone response and even affect your erection as well.

So the whole visit is a comprehensive visit that you're

going to be there for about three hours with evaluation and

treatment, then you will have homework, and then we will

continue to follow you along to help you to be accountable as

much as possible. But the thing you have to do is just know that

you have to do some homework to keep the result going. Okay? We

see great results when you do that. Because something that's

as important as your erection, you're gonna need to do the work

to get the result. Think of erection almost like as weight

loss. You take a medicine to help you lose weight, but you

still gotta eat better, and you still gotta exercise, you still

gotta follow through. So, the Get Hard System, very effective.

We are addressing the six system with the brain, the arousal, and

then the emotion down with the far infrared and the hormone

supplemented with testosterone as need. Sometimes we'll do

oxytocin as well, and then the nerve, which we now treat it

with far infrared with terahertz, and then the blood

vessels and also the penis with doing all the modalities, such

as platelet rich plasma, stem cell, focus shockwave therapy,

and Botox therapy. So I believe in treating the root cause, but

So I just want to give you a full idea what the evaluation

also healing from the inside. And the way you heal from the

looks like, so you can have an idea of what a comprehensive ED

inside, fixing that venous leak is through following the

evaluation is like, that involve blood work, involve full

treatment, involve evaluating why you have ED, which system is

Mediterranean diet and doing moderate exercise, which is 30

broken down, fix that system, and that's how you're going to

minutes, three to four times a week. We have seen remarkable

get results. Unlike if you're going to go online and then you

improvement, even in men that have their prostate remove, is

get like an online dispensary that just give you testosterone.

Or just online ED dispensary that just give you Viagra or

not responsive to Viagra. And we're seeing men that have

Cialis, without really finding out what's really going on with

failed Viagra for 10 years and now getting results again

you. And everybody is different. The plan is customized according

without medication. And that's how, if you treat the root cause

to your presentation of your severity of your ED, your

medical status, where you live, and everything. And we see

of the problem, then you're gonna get faster results as well

international patients as well, patients all over the United

as long-term result. But it takes commitment from you. It

States. Luckily, we are near a major airport hub in DC and

Richmond. So, getting here is quite easy.

takes time from you as well.
