While gas stations, pop-up clinics, and online retailers are quick to sell treatments to any patient who walks through the door, Dr. Mistry emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all cure for ED. Urologists can provide more thorough diagnostic testing and can recommend treatments based on ea...

In this segment, Dr. Mistry answers a listener's questions about men's health education and his ongoing struggle with elevated PSA levels. Unfortunately, many urology patients dismiss the seriousness of prostate cancer and avoid diagnostic testing that may reveal its presence.
