Improving Male Sexual Health, Function & Fertility | Dr. Michael Eisenberg

About this video

Urologist Dr. Michael Eisenberg discusses male sexual function, fertility, prostate health, and urinary health. Huberman notes that Dr. Eisenberg explains that only a very small percentage of erectile dysfunction stems from hormone dysfunction, while the vast majority stems from vascular or neural issues, and the episode surveys treatments and dispels common myths. The discussion also covers fertility and sperm count, including the observation Huberman highlights that penile lengths appear to be increasing over time while sperm counts seem to be decreasing. In the excerpted segment, Dr. Eisenberg describes semen testing, including DNA fragmentation testing, as a worthwhile source of information and an early health indicator, and he notes that newer companies have made testing easier and less awkward than traditional lab collection.
