Quotes (Tweetables):

“Pain during Sex is not OK.”

“If we explain to patients these are the side effects whether it’s birth control pill or Finasteride, if we explain to patients, these things could happen, and the patient then makes a rational decision, that’s appropriate medicine.”

Sue Goldstein

“There s a 4th reason for orgasmic disorder that we are newly appreciating.”

“The chances for erectile dysfunction increase (with age). If your 50 (yrs old) your chances are 50%, if your 60 your chances are 60%, if you’re 70, your chances are 70%.”
