Studies Find Erectile Dysfunction Commercial Bias Is More Prevalent On TikTok Than YouTube
May 04 2024 - 9:31AM
Abstracts being presented at the American Urological Association's
Annual Meeting discuss how urologists need to continue to remain
relevant on social media to counteract misinformation and
commercial bias on erectile dysfunction.
Researchers will present their study findings covering important
updates on sexual function in San Antonio, TX, from May 3 to 6.
Petar Bajic, MD, urologist and director of men’s health at the
Cleveland Clinic, moderated a virtual press session with the
abstract authors, providing key insights into their research.
“In this panel, we talk about a new treatment option for
erectile dysfunction that’s different than anything we have seen
before and how educational content related to sexual function is
being distributed through social media and how commercial bias may
be influencing the public,” said Dr. Bajic. “We also are going to
see how bariatric surgery for obese patients may have an impact on
their sex lives.”
The following abstracts are covered in the moderated panel:
- "Link in my Bio": Commercial Bias in Erectile Dysfunction
Treatment Videos on Social Media Platforms
- Efficacy and Safety of MED3000, A Novel Topical Therapy for The
Treatment Of Erectile Dysfunction
- Buried Penis and Bariatric Surgery, A Mighty Motivator
