A Healthy Package:
What Every Man Wants
OK Ladies, it’s time to get real about the health of your man’s package. It’s up front and center when it comes to sex and intimacy, but often neglected otherwise, as a part of men’s overall wellness. While men commonly invest time in fitness and strengthening, far fewer give the same care to the part of their bodies that plays a major role in confidence, intimacy, and daily function. A healthy package involves good circulation, skin health, and awareness of changes that may signal deeper concerns. Conditions such as incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and issues related to prostate health can all directly impact how your man feels and functions. These challenges often develop gradually, influenced by age, lifestyle habits, or underlying medical factors, making early understanding and prevention especially important. Prioritizing the health of his package is about his overall vitality, and that’s why we went to our local medical experts to learn more.

It seems like so many men
are diagnosed with prostate cancer these days. Do all men eventually get it?
One in six American men are diagnosed with the condition. Surgery is the primary treatment for younger men and older men with early-stage prostate cancer. A radical prostatectomy is the most common procedure, which involves the robot-assisted removal of the prostate gland and nearby lymph nodes, resulting in a quick recovery and very minimal hospital stay. Other treatment options include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and active surveillance (also called “watchful waiting”).
Your primary care provider can help determine your risk factors and whether a screening is right for you.

I keep hearing about the Priapus Shot, also known as the P-shot. What is it, and how can it make a difference for my significant other?
The Priapus Shot®, or P-Shot®, is a procedure that uses a man’s own blood to support his sexual function. We draw a small amount of his blood, spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP), then gently inject that PRP into specific areas of the penis after numbing cream is applied. PRP is rich in growth factors that can improve blood flow, sensitivity, and tissue health. Many men report stronger erections, better firmness, improved sensation, and more reliable performance over time, Some notice a better response to ED medications, if they take them.
As a physician specializing in hormone optimization and sexual health, and a global speaker and trainer in advanced intimate wellness treatments, I often enhance the P-Shot with Daxxify® or Xeomin® along the penile shaft. These neuromodulators can relax smooth muscles, so blood is less likely to “leak out,” helping erections stay firmer and last longer.
For the right candidate, this can be a powerful addition alongside existing ED treatments or offer a completely drug-free option for men who prefer to avoid pills. While results always vary, this combination can significantly restore confidence, intimacy, and pleasure for both of you.

My sex life is suffering because I can’t seem to get completely hard anymore. I’m really worried about it. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?
It sounds like you may have Erectile dysfunction, otherwise known as ED. This is quite common and is often treatable. It can stem from physical, psychological, or lifestyle factors. Fortunately, effective solutions exist.
ED occurs when a man can’t achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for penetration. Physical causes include heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, smoking, certain medications, and low testosterone. Psychological factors like stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues can also play a role. Sometimes both physical and mental factors exist.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Lifestyle changes—exercising, quitting smoking, reducing alcohol, and managing stress—can improve erections. Medical options include oral medications (Viagra, Cialis), vacuum devices, injections, or implants. If emotional factors are involved, therapy or counseling may help. Importantly, ED can signal other health issues, such as cardiovascular disease, so consulting a doctor is essential.
Bottom line: ED is very common, often reversible, and worth discussing openly with your healthcare provider.

What causes incontinence in men?
What can be done to help?
There are several types of incontinence in men, and their treatments differ based on the type.
Urge incontinence, or the loss of urine preceded by a strong urge to urinate, may occur in association with any bladder irritant, such as infection, or in relation to bladder outlet obstruction, typically from an enlarged prostate. Other causes include overactive bladder and brain or spine disorders. Treatments include addressing the underlying cause, lifestyle modifications, and medications, among which there are several options that produce excellent results.
Stress incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine with exertion and is often the result of injury to the urinary sphincter or urethra from trauma, prostate surgery or radiation. Treatments include pelvic muscle strengthening exercises, medications, and surgical procedures.
Overflow incontinence occurs as a result of urinary retention that may be due to a weak bladder muscle contraction or outlet obstruction. Medical or surgical relief of the obstruction will often correct this.
Functional incontinence refers to leakage related to mobility issues, which make it difficult to get to the bathroom in an orderly manner.
Post-void dribbling is possibly the most common form of incontinence. It occurs as a result of urine pooling in the urethra during urination and can often be helped with some simple maneuvers.
Fertility issues are so common today. What problems can go wrong on the man’s side?
There are many potential causes of male infertility, including congenital defects, genetic abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, head injury, obesity, nutritional deficiencies, testicular injuries or dysfunction, varicoceles, medications, illicit drug use, alcohol, environmental toxins and sexual dysfunction. We would recommend evaluation of the male partner by a qualified professional after a year of failed attempts to conceive or earlier if there are known health issues upfront. As is the case with so many medical issues, a healthy lifestyle is often the best proactive measure a person can take.

What does the prostate do?
When should my husband get screenings?
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland below the bladder. It makes seminal fluid that nourishes and carries sperm and helps control urine flow. With age, it often enlarges, which can cause a weak stream or frequent urination.
Prostate cancer is common and usually silent early on. Possible signs include trouble urinating, blood in urine or semen, or bone pain, but symptoms often appear late.
Screening for prostate cancer involves a PSA blood test, often along with a rectal exam. Typically, screening for prostate cancer should start between between age 55-69. However, in high risk groups, like African American men, men with family history, or BCRCA 1/2 mutations, it is recommended to start screening between age 40–45. Many medical groups discourage routine screening after 70 or when life expectancy is under 10 years. If you choose screening, it should be done every 1–2 years.
Screening can save lives but may cause false alarms and overdiagnosis. To help keep the prostate healthy, men should stay active, maintain a healthy weight, and stop smoking, if they do so.
