Erectile Dysfunction Assessment: The IIEF-5 Questionnaire

The IIEF-5 takes two minutes and tells you how severe your erectile dysfunction is. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone provides the full questionnaire with scoring — plus the two things the score cannot tell you, one of which can matter more than the erection itself.

The NIH-CPSI Questionnaire: Score Your Own Pelvic Pain Symptoms

Chronic pelvic pain has no blood test, so progress is measured with a questionnaire. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone provides the full NIH-CPSI with the point values filled in, so you can score it yourself, plus what the number means and what change counts as real improvement.

Polycystic Kidney Disease: What It Means, and What Can Now Be Done

An inherited condition in which cysts gradually replace both kidneys. Each child of an affected parent has a one in two chance — and unlike a few years ago, there is now a drug that slows it in those progressing fastest.

Prostate Cancer Prevention: What the Evidence Supports, and What It Does Not

Sorted by how good the evidence actually is. Weight, smoking and alcohol are worth acting on. The supplement advice this page used to give has been withdrawn — one of those recommendations was tested in a large trial and failed.

Lowering testosterone controls prostate cancer effectively — and takes a real toll on bone, heart, muscle, mood and sexual function. What ADT does, what it does to you, and what should be monitored alongside the PSA.

Testosterone injection: How to do it by yourself

Self-injection is possible for some men on testosterone — but the technique is the smallest part of it.

Understanding Your Prostate MRI Report: What PI-RADS Scores Mean

PI-RADS grades how suspicious an area on the scan looks, from 1 to 5. A low score is reassuring but is not a zero, a score of 3 is genuinely undecided rather than an automatic biopsy, and the number is one input among several.

Underactive Bladder in Women: When the Bladder Cannot Empty

A weak stream and the constant sense of not being finished are usually blamed on age or infection. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone, urologist at Bangkok Hospital, explains underactive bladder — why it is so often missed, how urodynamics confirms it, and what can be done.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy: The Honest Balance of Benefits and Risks

Testosterone therapy helps some men a great deal and is oversold to many more. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone sets out what it reliably improves, what it does not, what it costs you in fertility, and what the largest safety trial actually found.

Can a Varicocele Be Treated with Tablets? What the Evidence Shows

A venoactive drug used for leg varicose veins has been tried for varicocele pain. It may help the ache — it does not correct the varicocele and it is not a fertility treatment. The trial figures behind it deserve a closer look than they usually get.
