Men's Medical Talk Show

Dr. Ridwan Shabsigh invites Dr. Matt T. Rosenberg and Dr. Ajay Nehra to join in a roundtable discussion of the many aspects of low testosterone, also called hypergonadism. In this segment the doctors provide an overview of low testosterone. Andropause, or male menopause, is also discussed.

Guests: Dr. Matt T. Rosenberg, Dr. Ajay Nehra,

Dr. Ridwan and colleagues continue the low testosterone discussion in this segment focused on helping men identify low testosterone symptoms. Common symptoms of low testosterone may include low libido or reduced sexual desire, erectile dysfunction (ED), low energy level or fatigue, and memory issues. Often a patient’s spouse or partner is instrumental in recommending medical evaluation, as the symptoms may present slowly over time.

Guests: Dr. Matt T. Rosenberg, Dr. Ajay Nehra,

Dr. Ridwan and the doctors further explain low testosterone, focusing on the larger medical risks and health implications of untreated low testosterone. The proven links between sexual health, cardiac disease, and cardiovascular disease are highlighted, as well as the affect on overall longevity. Low T, or low testosterone, can impact quality of life and sexual wellbeing, as well as increase the likelihood of conditions such as diabetes and obesity.

Guests: Dr. Matt T. Rosenberg, Dr. Ajay Nehra,

In exploring the vast symptoms of low testosterone, Dr. Ridwan and the doctors explain the process of evaluating testosterone level. Testosterone level is measured through a morning blood test. A low testosterone diagnosis is made only after a thorough discussion of symptoms. Viewer questions are fielded during this segment, including a request for clarification about the consistency of testosterone level throughout a man’s life and the exact definition of low testosterone, borderline testosterone, and testosterone range.

Guests: Dr. Matt T. Rosenberg, Dr. Ajay Nehra,

Dr. Ridwan and his colleagues provide an overview of low testosterone treatment options. Testosterone replacement therapy, or hormone replacement therapy, can be administered in a variety of formats, including testosterone injections. Patient benefits, risks, and even insurance coverage all play a role in choosing the right testosterone replacement therapy. Some risks of testosterone replacement are discussed including prostate cancer risk and breast cancer risk, as well as the careful monitoring of these patients through Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) screening.

Guests: Dr. Matt T. Rosenberg, Dr. Ajay Nehra,

Dr. Ridwan, Dr. Rosenberg, and Dr. Nehra conclude their low testosterone discussion by stressing the importance of doctors working together, including primary physicians and specialists, to develop the best treatment protocol for a patient.
