Report of the first hands-on training in erectile dysfunction for nurses
This EAUN podcast episode features an interview with the faculty of the hands-on training on erectile dysfunction. Jeannette Verkerk (NL), MSc, PhD candidate and CNS at St. Antonius Hospital, specialising in male sexual health including erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s disease, is joined by Phil Reynolds (GB), MSc, BSc, HNC, radiographer at Clatterbridge Cancer Centre with a holistic focus on prostate cancer care, and Mariet Lenaers (BE), MSc, BN, prosthetic nurse at Virga Jesse Hospital, specialising in counselling patients undergoing prosthetic treatment.
Together, they reflect on the EAUN26 hands-on training session, focusing on the impact of sexual dysfunction in men and what it means for patients and their partners. The discussion highlights both the physical and psychological aspects of erectile dysfunction, as well as the importance of communication and patient education. The faculty also review current treatment options, including oral medication, vacuum devices, intracavernosal injections, and, as a final option, penile prosthesis.
