Men generally find personal issues difficult to talk about, especially when it comes to reproductive health concerns such as erectile problems or trouble with their waterworks. It\u2019s important for men to know that if something is not quite right, or not working the way it should, they need to talk to a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Geoff Broomhall representing Andrology Australia will be presenting a men&#8217;s health talk for Monash staff.\u00a0 The talk will include a discussion around common male health issues affecting males at different ages, symptoms, and how to approach your doctor to discuss your worries. Particular emphasis will be on some areas of confusion regarding prostate disease, both benign and malignant, preventative health care and the role of Andrology in male health.<\/p>\n<p>Seminars will be held on the Clayton campus on the 14th of June, and at Caulfield on the 15th.<\/p>\n<p>To register for the upcoming sessions, please click <a href=\"https:\/\/my.monash.edu.au\/news-and-events\/bookings\/hubs\/search\/?category_id=-1&amp;campus_id=-1&amp;keywords=andrology&amp;type=upcoming&amp;sort=date&amp;action_search=Search\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"wellbeing3\"><\/a>Don&#8217;t let winter hold you back, its time to SWAP it!<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3947\" src=\"https:\/\/edit.blogs-monash-edu.salsa.hosting\/timeout-newsletter\/files\/2016\/05\/SWAP-Image-no-year.jpg\" alt=\"SWAP Image no year\" width=\"260\" height=\"149\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Want to get active during Winter?
