There is the potential for people when they go to their GP about something to do with sex or their bodies that they get like a variety of different experiences depending on who they go to see. So I would just say, persist and also if you're not sure about your doctor, find a different one. Most practices have several doctors and you could choose to see one of the other ones. And that might make you feel a bit more sort of comfortable or you might get a different experience. Also there's a charity called the Sexual Advice Association who've got an app as well,. where you kind of go on there and you can kind of download the app, which is called the Smart SAA
In this episode, Hannah is joined by Dr Anand Patel, who is a doctor specialising in sexual function. Anand discusses his experience as a biology teacher and with teaching sex ed in school as well as why it’s important for more GPs to have training around sexual health. He and Hannah talk about men’s and people with penises’ sexual function, from early ejaculation to delayed ejaculation and the physical and psychological causes of erectile dysfunction. Finally, Hannah and Anand discuss Viagra, performance anxiety, and some “dick housekeeping”.
