Erectile Dysfunction and Sexual Health: What Your Body Is Telling You
Q: Can you talk to us a little bit about treatment options?
There are multiple options starting with lifestyle and cardiovascular health management, then oral PD-5 inhibitors, injections, devices, and even penile prosthesis for those who need it, with a focus on safety and appropriateness for each patient.
Glaucoma: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and How Vision Loss Impacts Emotional Health
Q: How do you address a patient's mental health when they're diagnosed with glaucoma?
By educating patients, normalizing the diagnosis, offering accessible resources, and referring to mental health support when needed; this helps with adherence and reduces fear and isolation.
Glaucoma: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and How Vision Loss Impacts Emotional Health
Q: What are the main treatment options and how do you decide what to start with?
First-line therapy often involves eye drops (prostaglandin analogs) to improve outflow, but laser therapy like SLT can be offered early and sometimes replaced or combined with drops depending on patient lifestyle and adherence. If needed, surgical options and MIGS are considered for longer-term pressure control.
Glaucoma: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and How Vision Loss Impacts Emotional Health
Q: Can you talk a little bit about what glaucoma is and how it's detected?
Glaucoma is a progressive optic nerve disease, not just high eye pressure; detection relies on optic nerve assessment, imaging like OCT, and functional tests such as visual field testing, in addition to pressure measurements. Regular dilated exams are crucial.
