Did you know? 🤯 Kallmann Syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disorder defined by a dual condition: delayed/absent puberty and a missing sense of smell (anosmia).
🔸 KS occurs when crucial hormone-producing cells fail to migrate properly during development, leading to chronic hormone deficiency and infertility without treatment.
🧠 Intriguing Fact: Some individuals with KS also experience bimanual synkinesis—where one hand involuntarily mirrors the movement of the other!
Learn more about KS and support rare disease awareness! 👇

STOP! Shingles isn’t just a rash—it’s a serious threat affecting 30,000 people in Singapore annually. If you’re 50 or older, you’re high risk—more than 9 in 10 in this age group carry the dormant virus.
The real danger? Complications from delayed diagnosis. Missing the early window for antivirals can lead to serious, long-term issues:
🟢 Ramsay Hunt Syndrome: Facial paralysis.
🟢 Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN): Chronic, debilitating phantom pain.
🟢 Increased risk of stroke and heart attack for those with pre-existing conditions.
Don’t wait! Talk to our doctors about your risk today. Learn how you can protect yourself through prevention.

Trying for a baby? Should men worry about soy products?
Dr. Joe (@drjollyurology ) explains that soy contains phytoestrogens—naturally occurring plant compounds that can weakly mimic the hormone estrogen. While daily consumption is not an automatic problem, if a couple is struggling to conceive, reducing the intake of foods high in these compounds (like soy) is one dietary change he can consider.

A major U.S. study suggested that common infections like COVID-19 and the Flu are linked to a serious rise in cardiovascular risk.
While our headline focuses on the threefold COVID-19 heart attack risk, the study found the risk spikes dramatically right after infection:
📈Specific Risk Increases Post-Infection:
♥️ COVID-19: Triples the risk of a heart attack within the first few weeks.
💔 Flu: Quadruples the risk of a heart attack in the month following infection.
🧠 Flu: Quintuples the risk of a stroke in the month following infection.
This severe complication occurs because these viruses trigger intense, long-term inflammation in the body, which directly damages the lining of blood vessels and can cause dangerous clots.
The best defense is prevention: Get vaccinated for flu, COVID-19, and shingles! Also, pay attention to other heart risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol. Protect your heart this season!

Andropause isn`t just a "50-something" thing! 🤯 Dr. Joe (@drjollyurology ) breaks down a key difference between andropause (sometimes called "male menopause") and female menopause: there`s no set age.
Your testosterone levels could be fine well into your 70s, or dip in your 40s. It`s a wide spectrum!
👨🏻⚕️ FACT: Low T can affect more than just hormones! It`s linked to changes in body chemistry, including a potential increase in LDL ("bad") cholesterol and a risk of osteoporosis (loss of bone density) because testosterone is important for maintaining healthy bones.
