Tony Kosoko on male pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction, emotional isolation, and the mental health risks of suffering in silence

I'm Fine

Approximately 1 in 7 men suffer from male pelvic pain, a condition often endured in silence due to societal stigma and pressure. Premature ejaculation affects about 30% of men at some point in their lives, while other pelvic health issues, such as chronic prostatitis and pelvic floor dysfunction, are also prevalent.
