Lost Morning Erections at 47? Ken’s Story

YouTube interview (host: Anne Truong MD) with Ken Shafer about his experience developing erectile dysfunction starting around age 47. Ken describes initial morning-erection loss, embarrassment, limited help from early urologists (testosterone checked, prescribed Cialis), partial/temporary benefit from Cialis, then loss of response. After trying TRT (partly out-of-pocket/concierge) and finding limited benefit, he pursued multimodal therapies (acoustic/shockwave therapy, P-shot platelet-rich plasma injections, and Botox) combined with lifestyle interventions (exercise, Mediterranean-style diet, sleep, stress management, penis pumping, Kegels, pelvic stimulation). He reports dramatic erectile improvement after the shockwave/P-shot/Botox course ~3 years before the interview and ongoing maintenance (TRT, pumping, Kegels, diet, sleep). The episode also promotes the host's Modern Man Club and the GetWoodNow program and mentions Ken's book: A Practical Guide to Managing Erectile Dysfunction.
