Rezum Water Vapour Therapy for an Enlarged Prostate: What It Does, and What to Expect Afterwards

Rezum treats an enlarged prostate with steam rather than cutting, and it protects sexual function in a way that prostate surgery does not. The parts men are least often told: the first few weeks are usually worse, not better, and some men need a second procedure years later.

Exercise and Erectile Dysfunction: What Actually Works, and How Much

What doctors mean by regular exercise, in numbers — and the part that matters more than any of it: erectile dysfunction is often the first warning that the arteries are in trouble.

Paraphimosis: A Trapped Foreskin Is an Emergency — Go Now

A retracted foreskin that will not come forward tightens by the hour. It needs reducing the same day, not the next morning — and the commonest cause of all is a foreskin pulled back for a catheter and never put back.

Circumcision Stapler vs Conventional Circumcision: How They Compare

The stapler is faster, bleeds less and hurts less — and it costs more, suits fewer men, and has a complication profile of its own. An honest comparison rather than a verdict.

Short-Acting vs Long-Acting Testosterone Injection: How the Choice Is Made

Two injectable testosterone preparations, two quite different propositions. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone explains how short-acting and long-acting testosterone injections differ, why only one of them can ever be given at home, and why the choice is a clinical decision rather than a menu.

Intermittent Testicular Torsion: Recurring Pain That Stops on Its Own

Sudden severe testicular pain that resolves within the hour and comes back weeks later. Because it settles by itself it gets dismissed — and because it settles by itself, the testicle can be fixed before the episode that does not.

The IPSS Explained: What Your Prostate Symptom Score Actually Means

The IPSS is the number that decides whether prostate symptoms are watched or treated. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone explains what the seven questions cover, how the score is banded — and why the single question scored separately at the end often matters more than the other seven combined.

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.

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. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone explains why the first injection is never done alone, why one long-acting preparation must never be self-injected at all, what testosterone does to fertility, and the symptoms that need same-day care.
