Frederick Mendiola is a Urologic Surgeon with subspecialty in Minimally Invasive Urology and special interest in Sexual Medicine. He works as a Urology consultant in both the government and private setting and got exposed to patients from all walks of life. He started to get interested in this relatively new field of sexual medicine during my fellowship training in Minimally Invasive Urology in the University of Chicago Hospitals when he did a study and eventually published a paper on "Urinary and sexual function outcomes among different age groups after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy." He wanted to learn more on how to deal with patients with Erectile Dysfunction not only in post radical prostatectomy but all patients with different etiologies. In hisclinical experience , he has encountered a lot of ED cases and he knows that there are still a lot of men suffering but shy to come out and seek consult. A similar scenario is also happening in patients with premature ejaculation, wherein I need to expound more on the patients history and physical examination before I can get relevant information and come up with the diagnosis and concomitant treatment options.
