Erection problems: 5 myths debunked

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.

The episodes (in Dutch)

  • Myth 2: “Once you have erectile dysfunction, you never get rid of it” – watch the episode

Two perspectives
In each episode, a urologist and a psycho-sexologist look at the same myth from their own field: the body, but also the mind, the relationship and expectations.
