Is masturbating without releasing actually damaging your
Speaker:testicles? And if you're taking a daily pill like Cialis after
Speaker:40, are you secretly making your ED worse in the long run? Today
Speaker:we're talking about the warning signs your body is sending you
Speaker:down there. From unexplained pain to the long-term side
Speaker:effects of ED meds that nobody talks about, like hearing and
Speaker:vision loss. Plus, I'll reveal why fixing your erections is
Speaker:actually a lot simpler than you think, and why your body wants
Speaker:to do it naturally. Let's get 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:"One thing I noticed that if I masturbate and don't release,
Speaker:and if I repeat it like two out of three times, I see the
Speaker:testicle area is wire painting. Feel that the testicle is
Speaker:painful. Is it harmful?" You masturbate and you don't
Speaker:release. Well, I'm not quite sure what question entails. So,
Speaker:if you masturbate, you don't release. It shouldn't really
Speaker:affect the testicles, and it shouldn't really cause any pain
Speaker:to the testicle. I mean, a lot of men do not ejaculate with
Speaker:orgasm, so that shouldn't be painful to your testicles.
Speaker:Unless there are other things going on organically in your
Speaker:testicle. So if your testicle is painful, you need to go see a
Speaker:urologist, and you need to get ultrasound that testicle to see
Speaker:if there's any type of blockage or any type of hydro seal. If
Speaker:they're painting you, you need to find out that the structure
Speaker:is okay. Sometimes it could be a plaque, sometimes it could be a
Speaker:swelling in the testicle. But holding on to that ejaculation
Speaker:shouldn't be painful to the testicle, all right. Lots of men
Speaker:do that. My advice is, you go see your urologist and get some
Speaker:imaging study done, because one thing you should not do, guys,
Speaker:is that if your testicle is painful, don't sit on it. You
Speaker:need to get evaluated, because it could be a clot, it could be
Speaker:a cyst, it could be an infection, it could be cancer.
Speaker:So all that can be evaluated through an ultrasound, and
Speaker:sometimes maybe even the CT scan. But need to get evaluated.
Speaker:If you don't, then you never know what's happening. Don't try
Speaker:to treat it on your own, because if it's painful and it lingers,
Speaker:it doesn't go away. You need to get it evaluated. Okay?
Speaker:There's a question here about Cialis. "Is there any issue
Speaker:taking Cialis at the low dose daily for a long period of time,
Speaker:and definitely after the age of 40 in long-term studies?" Well,
Speaker:why are you taking Cialis? Are you taking Cialis for ED? When
Speaker:you say low dose, it's between 5 milligrams or 10 milligrams.
Speaker:Every medication has the side effects. In fact, one of the
Speaker:side effects of PDE-5 inhibitors, or medication like
Speaker:Cialis and Viagra, you can have hearing loss, you can have
Speaker:visual loss. Those are like the long-term side effects. It's the
Speaker:thing that is common, hearing loss and visual loss. So you
Speaker:have to consider the long-term side effects versus the benefit.
Speaker:So, if you're taking Cialis low dose, you're taking it for
Speaker:erection, but maybe you need to be looking at why you have ED,
Speaker:and maybe is it a blood flow problem. Then, if it's a blood
Speaker:flow problem, then you need to fix your diet and your exercise
Speaker:and moderate your alcohol, stop smoking, and a good sleep
Speaker:routine. Because medication does has a side effect. So if you
Speaker:have ED, you want to work on the root cause of why you have ED.
Speaker:And so there are definitely long-term side effects, hearing
Speaker:loss and visual loss as well. So medication like Cialis or Viagra
Speaker:should be taken as needed. However, I know that some men
Speaker:take Cialis for prostate issues as well at low dose. So there
Speaker:are some benefits, but if you can work at resolving the root
Speaker:cause of your ED, you may not need to be on medication. Who
Speaker:wants to take medication for long term every day? Because
Speaker:your body don't need medication to have an erection when you are
Speaker:younger. Why do your body need it now? If you need it now,
Speaker:because it needs to be nurtured, it needs to be restored for it
Speaker:to function properly. Every medication has a side effect
Speaker:that you take it long term. But if you can restore your erection
Speaker:with just treating the root cause, then you will not need
Speaker:Cialis. So that comes along with that answer for that. Low dose,
Speaker:even 2.5 milligrams, it's still a medication. Now just know that
Speaker:when you take a medication, guys, it's something foreign in
Speaker:the body. Medication is synthetic made, it's made in the
Speaker:lab, so it's not made at the same component as organic stuff
Speaker:that's in your body. And so anything that is non-organic or
Speaker:anything that is synthetic, your body is going to react to it.
Speaker:It's going to see it as a foreign substance in the body,
Speaker:and it's going to react to it. So medication itself is not good
Speaker:for your body, but the reason why we take medication is to
Speaker:control the adverse effect of a condition that causes it. But if
Speaker:you have a way to not take the medication, then that's the
Speaker:better option, not to take the medication. Because if you take
Speaker:the medication, you're gonna have to face with the side
Speaker:effects of the medication on top of the benefit of the
Speaker:medication. If you know what I'm talking about. Okay? So just be
Speaker:aware of that. I'm not a big medication person at this time,
Speaker:and I believe in that if you can treat the root cause of the
Speaker:problem, then you don't need a medication for your body to
Speaker:function.
Speaker:Now, for a man to have an erection is really a natural
Speaker:process. It's built into your body to have an erection. It's
Speaker:like blinking, like blinking your eye. So it's built into
Speaker:your body to have an erection since puberty, and it is one of
Speaker:the oldest bodily functions for a human being. And in fact, your
Speaker:brain has a dedicated center just for sexual function, and it
Speaker:centered in the center between your ears and your eyes. It's
Speaker:the deepest part of your brain, is the oldest part of your brain
Speaker:that even salamander has this as well. So, where I'm getting at
Speaker:this is that for a man to get an erection is innate part, it's a
Speaker:primitive part of your body to be able to do this, and it's a
Speaker:natural response. So, when something that is natural that
Speaker:is built for you to work properly, when it's not working,
Speaker:you need to fix that. You need to fix the why it's not working,
Speaker:because your body is geared toward making it work. And so
Speaker:your body wants you to have an erection, but if you're not
Speaker:having it, then you need to find out why and fix that problem for
Speaker:it to function again. As its basic, human beings are geared
Speaker:towards reproduction, appropriation to continue the
Speaker:human line, and your reaction is one of the most primitive
Speaker:pathway for survival. And when it's not working, your body is
Speaker:saying, "Hey, fix this, because there's something wrong." Your
Speaker:body is giving you a warning sign there's something wrong,
Speaker:something wrong that's going to affect your heart later on, it's
Speaker:going to affect your brain later on, and so your body is saying
Speaker:something's wrong, fix this. But you don't want to like take
Speaker:another medication to cover it up, but if you cover it up, the
Speaker:problem is only going to get worse. If you take ED medicine,
Speaker:your ED is only going to get worse, it's not going to resolve
Speaker:your ED. It's just a band aid for now. So just know that your
Speaker:body wants you to have an erection, and you just need to
Speaker:help it restore balance again. And oftentimes it's just as
Speaker:simple as changing your diet, eating more healthy, like just
Speaker:follow the Mediterranean diet. Mediterranean diet is
Speaker:essentially just eat more vegetables, more fruit, lean
Speaker:meat. Don't eat anything in a can or a bag. That's really it.
Speaker:And then exercise, so what's exercise? Like walking 7000
Speaker:steps a day, or 30 minutes a day, and walking up and down the
Speaker:stairs, and doing squat three, four times a week. And if you
Speaker:mind what you eat, and if you just do too simple exercise, you
Speaker:will not gain weight. You will not gain weight. If you eat
Speaker:healthy, you will not gain weight. It's when we don't
Speaker:exercise and we start sitting there munching on chips. The
Speaker:earth doesn't grow chips, the earth doesn't grow cookies,
Speaker:earth doesn't grow cake or cereal.
Speaker:Okay, Modern Man. If you're struggling with weak erection,
Speaker:low energy, the food you eat could be the big part of the
Speaker:problem. One of the best research pathways to boost
Speaker:circulation, support healthy testosterone and improve sexual
Speaker:performance is the Mediterranean diet. It's packed with food that
Speaker:open up your blood vessel, lower inflammation, and fuel your
Speaker:hormone, naturally. I've seen men notice real improvement in
Speaker:both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to this
Speaker:style of eating. So check out the Mediterranean diet link
Speaker:right here below, and get that as soon as you can. Stronger
Speaker:testosterone and better erection.
Speaker:So you just feed your body. Body with the healthy component, and
Speaker:it will start functioning again. Sometimes it's as easy as just
Speaker:the diet and the exercise, getting adequate amount of sleep
Speaker:at night, and stop doing stuff that is causing inflammation,
Speaker:such as smoking and drinking too much alcohol, and can't stop
Speaker:stress. Stress is going to be there, but moderate it. You can
Speaker:moderate it. One of my coach says, I never thought about it
Speaker:ways that stress is a perception, not a situation.
Speaker:It's the perception stresses in your thought. It is in your
Speaker:thought. So, if you get stressed about something, it's in your
Speaker:thought. Now, if you were facing danger, physical danger, and
Speaker:that's a different situation. But if it's not a physical
Speaker:danger, then stress is really a perception. All right, just know
Speaker:that fixing your erection may be easier than you think. Believe
Speaker:it or not, sometimes when it's too easy, we don't believe it,
Speaker:right? But take it from me, I work with more than 7000 men
Speaker:with ED, and sometimes if the man just changed his diet, start
Speaker:exercising, or start losing the weight, you will see the
Speaker:testosterone level go up, and he's gonna start seeing more
Speaker:morning wood again. And so I have seen it happen multiple
Speaker:times, and trust me, I'm talking from experience, and sometimes
Speaker:it's that simple. It does take work, eating healthy and
Speaker:exercise, and all that take time away, take work from us,
Speaker:especially nowadays. Essentially, guys, it's really,
Speaker:you have a plate, fill it with either fish, chicken, pork, and
Speaker:red meat, but just alternate it. Don't eat red meat every day,
Speaker:alternate it with fish and chicken and pork, so that's half
Speaker:of your plate. And the other half should be fruits and
Speaker:vegetables. Any fruit, any vegetables, just fruit and
Speaker:vegetables. Just eat what the earth grows for you, eat what
Speaker:the earth gives you. Earth doesn't give you soda, earth
Speaker:doesn't give you alcohol either. Alcohol is man made, right? So
Speaker:if you just think of the plate like that, then makes everything
Speaker:easier, you can eat a sandwich, it's okay, bread, you can't eat
Speaker:a sandwich a day, or two slices a day, that's good. And for
Speaker:dessert, eat fruit, sometimes that's really all you need. In
Speaker:fact, you may even save more money if you follow that plan.
Speaker:So it will give you more energy when you eat more healthy.
Speaker:Because if you give your body what it needs, it will reward
Speaker:you. It will reward you with more energy, weight loss, and
Speaker:better sleep as well.
