Everyday people come to HealthUnlocked to connect with other people with the same health condition or those going through similar experiences to themselves.
In the latest of our user health stories, John talks about erectile dysfunction and phimosis.
John is 32 and has both erectile dysfunction and phimosis is estimated that half of all men between the ages of 40 and 70 will have erectile dysfunction to some degree, yet it is one of the topics most men feel uncomfortable talking about to anyone, often even including their doctor. John has had ED for most of his adult life years, and Phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis (glans).
John is a member of the Men’s Health Forum online community on HealthUnlocked. This is his story…
Speaking about this video campaign, Martin Tod, CEO of The Men’s Health Forum said: "Too often, men don’t ask for help or support – and we’re always looking for ways that make it easier for men to do so. It’s brilliant that some men are finding HealthUnlocked so useful – and that it’s making it easier for them to open up.”
