There are many misconceptions about erection problems. They lead men to wait too long before seeking help, or to have the wrong expectations of treatment. With the podcast series “The Only Way is Up! – Erection Dialogues”, Dr Sam Ward and psycho-sexologist Marieke Dewitte (Maastricht) set out to dispel these myths, with accurate information and practical advice.
