EPISODE DETAILS
For years, urology has operated under the assumption that high testosterone was a risk factor for prostate cancer. Thanks to new research, we are now learning that low testosterone could be a greater cause for concern. At the forefront of this research is Dr. Ananias Diokno, Professor of Urology at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine and University of Central Florida College of Medicine. He and Dr. Lutz have worked together in the past, when Dr. Diokno served as Chairman of Urology at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan.
This isn't the first time that our guest has been front and center for a major new development in urology. He worked with his mentor, Dr. Jack Lapides, to make intermittent self-catheterization the new norm for patients at home. We spend some time talking about the special relationship between the two men.
At nearly 80 and still very active, Dr. Diokno talks about the role of natural supplements in his life, and how it's helped him with gout and severe cervical arthritis. There may also be implications here for natural ways to boost testosterone in the body.
Ananias suggests men have their testosterone checked around age 30 as a baseline, then to have it checked routinely in order to stay ahead of risk factors for BPH and prostate cancer.
