  ReNew Man – Recharge your Life
Asia HealthPartners’ Male Event of the Year

All of us know that men and women are different. This is also the case where health is concerned. Life expectancy of women exceeds that of men. Men are also known to indulge in dangerous activities and are less careful about lifestyle habits compared to women. Yet, men are less likely to see a doctor compared to women. Men will definitely have a better chance of staying stronger and fitter if they take good care of their health.

ReNew Man Seminar was organised with the mission to empower the modern man in the prime stage of his life to make an effort to improve his physical and emotional health.

Supported by Lifespa, Bayer, MSD & Pharmazen, Asia HealthPartners aimed to enhance the awareness of male health issues, sexual issues and the de-stressing power of aromatherapy – all coupled with practical treatment tips.

In these sophisticated yet approachable sessions, about 80 men were charmed by our three lady speakers – Dr Chong Y.C. , Wellness Doctor of Asia HealthPartners, Dr Martha Lee of Eros Coaching and Ms Denise Lim from Decleor.

Topics that stirred the crowd include tips on how to identify andropause including the ADAM score (androgen deficiency in aging males), challenges in coping with andropause, importance of testosterone, strategies for sexual problems e.g. erection problems and premature ejaculation, hair loss treatment, and osteoporosis. Responses of participants were heart warming. They were very enthusiastic and forthcoming with questions too. In fact, one participant was sporting enough to demonstrate the pelvic lift exercise led by Dr Lee.

Onsite blood test for testosterone was also carried out for participants as a form of surveillance for testosterone deficiency syndrome along with survey on sexual health and AMS questionnaire. Following the fun sessions were a round of delectable refreshments and a gift bag of goodies worth $50.

Questions and Answers Session by Dr Chong Yeang Chern
1) Are there any side-effects from using Propecia? How soon can you see the improvement in hair regrowth with use of Propecia? Is it true that ladies can’t use Propecia? Is it safe for men on propecia to have children?

Answer –
Propecia blocks the formation of DHT (dihydroxytestosterone), thereby reducing the shrinking of hair follicles, interrupting the development of male pattern hair loss. It is for use in men only. It should not be used by women.

You need to take Propecia for at least 3 months before seeing significant hair regrowth and the medicine needs to be continued for positive effect. Propecia has minimal side effects. It may rarely cause sexual side effects such as less desire for sex, and these side effects are reversible. It is safe for men on Propecia to have children.

2) How often do you need to use the Testosterone injection – Nebido? Are there any side effects? Is it suitable for everyone?

Answer –
Nebido (Testosterone injection) is a 3 monthly injection replacement therapy for testosterone. If you have never had the injection before, it is advisable to have the 2nd dose 6 weeks after the 1st dose.

With more doses, the level of testosterone increases to a good level, there will be improvement in energy level, physical stamina, weight loss, sex drive, sexual function and subsequent doses can be administered at longer intervals. There are minimal side effects. As with all testosterone therapy, blood test for testosterone, PSA (prostate cancer marker) and blood count has to be monitored regularly. Testosterone therapy does not cause prostate cancer, but it cannot be used in patients with prostate cancer.

3) Can PDE5 Inhibitors such as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis be used indefinitely? Does it cause addiction? Can everyone use this drug? Can I take Levitra with alcohol?

Answer –
PDE5 inhibitors inhibit the enzyme phosphodiesterase, thereby enhancing the effects of nitric oxide and increasing the blood flow to the penis.

It It is vital to evaluate the sexual function – grade the severity of erectile dysfunction 1st – scale of 1 – 4, whereby 1 is severe erectile dysfunction and 4 is perfectly good function. Most men with erectile dysfunction fall into the scale of 2-3, whereby the penis is able to erect, but not sufficient for penetration. After the grading of severity, a medical consultation is necessary to evaluate the medical causes of erectile dysfunction – hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, obesity, smoking, alcohol, drugs, operation and testosterone deficiency. It is useful to treat testosterone deficiency if that is the cause of the erectile dysfunction. Other causes include psychological causes – a sex therapist can be useful in such a case.

PDE5 inhibitors can be used after a thorough evaluation and making sure that there are no contraindications such as unstable heart disease, nitrates. It does not cause dependence or addiction. Levitra can be taken with moderate amounts of alcohol, but do be aware that alcohol can impede sexual performance.
