When a patient talks about their sexual dysfunction, I always ask: what's going on with the person they're having sex with? You'd be surprised how many providers don't.Most people don't think to ask what's happening on both sides of a sexual relationship. But sexual dysfunction doesn't happen in a vacuum—it's a two-way street. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jessica Yih, a urologist who treats both men and women, and we get real about the overlap of issues that show up in the bedroom.We dive into Peyronie's disease and why it's been overlooked for so long, how injections can break down plaques, and why those curves aren't just uncomfortable—they can lead to serious problems for both partners. We also break down erectile dysfunction beyond the “just pop a blue pill” myth. Spoiler: Viagra doesn't work for everyone.Jessica brings a powerful perspective to the conversation, especially around what it's like treating both members of a couple, sometimes in back-to-back appointments. She's also helping train the next generation of sexual health urologists through her fellowship at UC Irvine.Sex is more than individual dysfunction—it's communication, treatment access, aging, and understanding both bodies in the room. If you're a provider, a patient, or just curious about how these dynamics work together, this episode is for you.Highlights:The truth about Peyronie's disease, painful sex, and treatment optionsWhy Viagra isn't a one-size-fits-all fix for erectile dysfunctionHow injectable medications and implants are changing the gameDyadic sexuality and the importance of treating both partnersJessica Yih's unique path to sexual medicine and her work training new fellowsIf this episode got you thinking, please hit that follow button, leave a comment, and give us a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Imagine that your genitals were in a constant, uncontrollable state of arousal. You might be thinking that doesn't sound too bad, but you'd be mistaken. Persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) is a highly distressing condition. People who have it live with unwanted arousal that doesn’t bring pleasure, and there's almost no relief from it. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to concentrate, work, and sleep. In this episode, we're going to dive into what we know about PGAD, including how common it is, what causes it, and how it's treated. I am joined once again by Sue W. Goldstein, an AASECT certified Sexuality Educator and Clinical Research Manager at San Diego Sexual Medicine. Ms. Goldstein co-authored the book When Sex Isn't Good to provide education and empowerment to women with sexual dysfunction. Some of the questions we explore in this episode include: What does PGAD look like in everyday life? What kind of effects does this have on people? How long have we known about PGAD, and how common is it? What causes uncontrollable genital arousal? Are there any treatments that work?

Antidepressants are notorious for their sexual side effects, including diminished sexual desire and difficulties with arousal and orgasm. It was long thought that these side effects were temporary; however, a growing number of people are reporting persistent sexual difficulties after discontinuing the medication, known as Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD). In today’s show, we're going to discuss what we know about PSSD, including how common it is, what causes it, and what we can do about it. I am joined by Sue W. Goldstein, an AASECT certified Sexuality Educator and Clinical Research Manager at San Diego Sexual Medicine. Ms. Goldstein co-authored the book When Sex Isn't Good to provide education and empowerment to women with sexual dysfunction. Some of the questions we explore in this episode include: How many people experience sexual side effects from antidepressants? What are the most common symptoms of PSSD? Is PSSD a formal medical diagnosis? Why is PSSD controversial? Are there any gender differences in PSSD? Why might SSRIs can cause long-term sexual dysfunction?

Dr. Irwin Goldstein, the founder of field of sexual medicine, joins me in the conversation about female sexual pain. He drives the talk with tons of fascinating information about sexual pain, including what are the different categories, common causes, and treatment options. The prevalence of female sexual pain Within the last month, 1/3rd of women reported experiencing sexual pain or some form of discomfort during sex, while only 2% to 7% of men reported sexual dysfunction or secondary pain. He urges women to ensure they find the correct medical professional and find answers to their questions as he has found many women go untreated due to misdiagnosis. Dr. Goldstein best categorizes various kinds of sexual pain by the area it originates. The pain in the vulva is diagnosed as vulvodynia. However the vestibule is often overlooked as the source of pain, and more than 90% of the time is misdiagnosed as vulvodynia. Hormonally Mediated Vestibulodynia Dr. Goldstein warns against birth control pills as they have harmful side effects that can eventually affect your sex life. He urges women to consider other birth control methods like Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) – IUDs, Nexplanon and Implanon contraceptive implants, and progesterone. He further informs that The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and The American Academy of Pediatrics no longer consider birth control pills as the leading method of contraception. Causes in Older Women and Treatment Options For older women over 40, the hormonal challenges of menopause are a leading cause of pain. He mentions that women go through two stages of menopause, where the first one causes low testosterone levels and the latter causes low estrogen levels. He shares available treatment options for this. Other Common Causes and Treatment Options Among other causes, Dr. Goldstein talks about Neuroproliferative vestibulodynia, a condition where women suffer from life-long pain. Monistat is the number one medicine women use that causes neuroproliferative vestibulodynia. The only treatment option available is surgically removing the vestibule, which has an 80% cure rate and is completely non-disfiguring. Tune in for valuable advice that can make a huge difference in your life. Background Dr. Goldstein has been involved with sexual dysfunction research since the late 1970s. He has authored more than 350 publications as well as multiple book chapters and edited 6 textbooks in the field. His interests include penile microvascular bypass surgery, surgery for dyspareunia, sexual health management post-cancer treatment, genital dysesthesia/persistent genital arousal disorder, physiologic investigation of sexual function in men and women, and diagnosis and treatment of sexual dysfunction in men and women. Dr. Goldstein is Director of Sexual Medicine at Alvarado Hospital, Clinical Professor of Surgery at the University of California, San Diego, and practices medicine at San Diego Sexual Medicine. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Sexual Medicine Reviews and past Editor of The Journal of Sexual Medicine. He is a Past President of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health and of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America. He holds a degree in engineering from Brown University and received his medical degree from McGill University. The World Association for Sexual Health awarded the Gold Medal to Dr. Goldstein in 2009 in recognition of his lifelong contributions to the field, 2012 he received the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health Award for Distinguished Service in Women's Sexual Health, in 2013 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Sexual Medicine Society of North America, and in 2014 he received the ISSM Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Society for Sexual Medicine. He is happily married to his college sweetheart Sue, and together they have three children and five grandchildren.

This explicit discussion with sexual health experts covers causes of and treatments for reduced libido, arousal and orgasm, in both males and females. Hormones are key players in sexual health, and anything that affects those hormones can potentially affect people's sex lives. For example, antidepressant medications and hair replacement treatments can reduce sexual interest or function. Resources and treatments exist, from therapy to medication.   Guests: Dr. Irwin Goldstein, M.D., Director of San Diego Sexual Medicine, Director of Sexual Medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego California, and Clinical Professor of Surgery at the University of California, San Diego.   Sue Goldstein, B.A. Sexuality Educator and Clinical Research Manager at San Diego Sexual Medicine

Sexual pain, postpardum, perimenopause and menopause care, post-cancer survivorship. These are all powerful areas that impact so many women's lives, and yet we don't have spaces of support in the medical industry or society at large. Dr. Heather Quaile aims to change that. Sexual health is an area that needs to opened up on multiple levels, from healthcare to legislation, and this is where Heather does her work. Viewing sexual pain from a bio/psycho/social approach, she believes in trauma-informed care that comes from a multitude of providers, including allopathic doctors and functional practitioners. We talk about specific instances of pain, including in menopause and with vulvodynia, and how we need to take a multi-pronged approach is supporting healing. We also chat about how important it is to educate girls on their bodies to change the whole paradigm, so that when they are women, they will experience less pain. Learn about Heather's work in legislation around women's health happening in Georgia (which mirrors a lot of what is going on nationwide in the US), and well as educating about trans rights. We also dive into the $150 billion sex trafficking industry, what Heather is doing to fight it, and how each of us can, too. This interview covers SO MUCH of what is important in women's health today. It'll connect some major dots for you in your own sexual health journey. Dr. Heather Quaile (She/Her/Hers) is a board certified, women’s health nurse practitioner with specialty training in female sexual medicine and vulvoscopy, from San Diego Sexual Medicine with renowned sexual medicine physician Dr. Irwin Goldstein.

Our guest for today is Sue Goldstein, BA, CCRC, AASECT-CSE, IF (That is a ton of credentials isn't that?!) and she's here to talk about Sexual Medicine. In 2007, Sue and her husband moved from Boston to San Diego to open up San Diego Sexual Medicine. She educates people on sex, sexual dysfunction, sexual functionality, basically everything that has to do with sexual medicine. She also recently co-authored a book called “When Sex Isn't Good”. You're never too old for sex According to Sue, you are never too old for sex and it's never too late to regain sexual health. Research tells us that being sexually active actually decreases your stress level. There are a lot of benefits! * It is good for your health and your relationship. * It improves self-esteem * There is more fun in relationships and * There is more of a playful ease in relationships. The oldest man they treated for erectile dysfunction was 91. So, as the saying goes “where there's a will there's a way!” “The man with the young woman on his arm is not looking for a trophy wife, he's looking for a lubricated vagina” We went over so many enlightening and fascinating things. Here is a short list of some of them: * Menopause (Sex doesn't have to hurt!) * HSDD (Hypoactive sexual desire disorder) * Erectile dysfunction * Injection therapy (Can't be as bad as it sounds can it?) * Prostate cancer and treatments to help with getting an erection * Implants for men * Hormone treatments * Laser therapy * Testosterone * The “G” Spot I learned so much from conducting this interview on sexual medicine.

You're woken up every single day by your man's erection. Does this mean that he is more aroused in the morning?Sharing a bed with your man can be great... that is until your daily wake-up call comes from between your sheets and not the alarm on your nightstand.You may think your guy just had a very intimate sexual fantasy in his sleep and is looking for a way to have it satisfied. This is not always the case.Did you know that morning wood has nothing to do with sexual desire?Actually, it happens when your man is in his REM (rapid eye movement) sleep cycle. During REM, your body turns off some neurotransmitters that regulate body functions. One of these neurotransmitters is in charge of stopping erections.REM decreases norepinephrine levels, and testosterone is free to pump as much blood into the penis, causing an erection.This doesn't mean that men aren't aroused immediately when they wake up. Each person is different; some men and women may be aroused in the morning while others get randy later in the day.Director of San Diego Sexual Medicine, Irwin Goldstein, MD, joins Melanie Cole, MS, to explain why morning wood happens and if it means men are more sexually aroused than women.
