The Age-old debate: "Women live longer and healthier than men".
AGREE?/DISAGREE?
Sorry gents; YES we do!
Before the inevitable protests, please hear me out!
I am not only going by the science, but also what is observable day after year, year after year:
WHY?
Basically ONE "not in your control" , but TWO well within your capacity to Champion Change!
(For the purpose of this discussion, the conversation will, for clarity, be based on this premise. I will not be discussion the myriad genetic aberrances such as XXY or other. Nor is this a social debate- for a different time).
So, let's continue:
🔬NOT IN YOUR CONTROL (Science, not social)- please remember that as medical professionals, we must adhere to the gender assigned at birth and all that goes with it:
🧬FEMALES: XX ; MALES : XY (a statistical advantage- if one has any defects, women have the benefit of the unaffected X chromosome; Males- it is what is is. As a direct result of this:
🧬 Oestrogen has been proven to have cardio and cerebrovascular protection - if your heart lives longer- so do you!; if your brain lives healthy longer, the longer it can keep you healthy !
✅IN YOUR CONTROL ✅
LIFESTYLE FACTORS
✅🔬A Healthy Lifestyle - women have been outpacing men on this for decades - diet generally 😟poor in nutrients generally due to lack of food preparation- males, especially between the ages of 20 to 40/50/60(?)
😟smoking,😟 excessive alcohol use - both of which slash your life expectancy
✅Seeking health check-ups - know if anything is wrong and correct it : hands down- women
✅SOCIAL -
😟Occupational choices and their hazards - males- typically more dangerous jobs
😟SUPPORT NETWORK!!!! - we ladies can vent and release our emotions; we are more "allowed to- so change it gents!! Have your "Mansheds of Mentorship" for younger males who WILL talk
I Challenge YOU GENTLEMEN- SHOW UP !! For us ladies , yourselves and your children!
YOU GOT THIS!
From my heart to yours 💓

Welcome back!
Gents!! THIS one is also for YOU! From me👩🏽⚕️😊👍🏽
🤫💙The issue that scares you, shames you
🤫💙The issue that you mention LAST of all at your doctor's appointment
🤫💙Yet, the ONLY issue that MAY bring you to the doc!
ED - Erectile Dysfunction! 🤫🤫
Seems strange coming from me- your "lady doc" ? (Not really)
What is ED?
Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex.
There are many reasons for this happening occasionally, but if erectile dysfunction is an ongoing issue, it can cause distress, affect your self-confidence and create disruption in your intimate relationship
It is not all "down there" , however. ED may actually be a warning sign of serious underlying health conditions that need treatment, including heart disease.
This is because any condition that affects blood flow to the body in general (arteries specifically), may also impede blood flow to the glans penis, hence, ED.This includes the Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs), of hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol, and especially when these are uncontrolled.
Erectile dysfunction symptoms might include persistent:
💙Trouble getting an erection
💙Trouble keeping an erection
💙Reduced sexual desire
There may also be emotional reasons for ED .
Whatever the cause, the issue can so negatively impact your life at all levels, not to mention place you in danger from the consequences of NCDs (heart attack and stroke are just two of these)
What action step will you take TODAY?
💙Prevention, Preparation, Protection💙
Good vibes always!💗
From my heart to yours💗
