Rena Malik, MD Podcast

In this video, Dr. Rena Malik answers multiple real-world questions in one AMA episode, covering which supplements actually have evidence for improving erections and libido (and why placebo effects matter), why most semen-volume supplements don’t work, and what lifestyle factors truly support testosterone and sexual function. She also explains what to expect with urine leakage after prostatectomy and the real recovery options, then breaks down how to prevent recurrent UTIs—covering hydration, constipation, vaginal estrogen, cranberry supplements, and proper bladder emptying—using practical, evidence-based guidance throughout.
