And Viagra Is Short Cut As National Survey Shows More Than 1 In 10 Men Impacted   

Leading Surgeons Tet Yap and his internationally renowned partner Professor Suks Minhas run Men’s Health Clinic, London Andrology, to support men with conditions associated with male fertility and sexual function. The leading minds have also published an extensive survey*, The Fertility Index, to show how men and women across the UK understand and manage fertility and sexual health issues.

The index has highlighted that millions of men’s sexual performances are being impacted by underlying health issues with 1 in 10 (13%) of men admitting that being overweight has directly impacted their ability to stay erect and a further 11% admitting that mental health, stress and general health is impacting their performance. 

Professor Suks Minhas, commented, “Viagra is understandably used as a quick fix for erectile dysfunction (ED) as it is a very effective tool and allows men to ensure they remain erect. Many men are unaware that ED can actually be part of a bigger or more serious underlying health issue and it is important that men don’t ignore the issue or just turn to Viagra long-term.”

The survey also showed Alcohol 20%, Smoking 7% and drug habits 5% were also among the list of reasons stated by men in the UK that had impacted sexual performances with their partners which again could be causing additional health problems in men across the UK.

The leading minds in their field have worked together for over 15 years, developing the most advanced treatments for sexual and reproductive needs. With their extensive clinical and research experience, the team have developed rigorous and patient-centred approaches to treating men’s health conditions and the new clinic is expected to lead the way in treating men’s health conditions – from fertility issues to sexual health issues like erectile dysfunction.

The team at the clinic are keen to raise awareness of male fertility and sexual health issues, get the UK talking about the subject, and change the misconceptions and imbalance between perceived issues around male and female fertility when trying to conceive.

Surgeon Tet Yap, Co-founder of the clinic, commented on the launch, “ Unfortunately, men’s fertility and sexual health issues are still taboo subjects for far too many of us. The Fertility Index was designed to encourage couples to openly understand and discuss their fertility and sexual health issues.

We launched the clinic to change this perception and offer a safe place for men, their partners, and loved ones to discuss their concerns openly, knowing they will be getting the best service and support.”
