"There may be a sexual health issue concerning your male patient but he is not comfortable to talk about it. I hope to provide doctors with knowledge on the subtleties of male sexual health problems and give them the confidence to address reproductive issues in men."

Thinking about upskilling in sexual health? Catch an overview of what you can expect from HealthCert's new online Professional Diploma of Sexual & Reproductive Health in this short discussion with course presenter Dr Michael Lowy.

For further information, explore the HealthCert Professional Diploma program in Sexual & Reproductive Health.

The Professional Diploma of Sexual & Reproductive Health (the final course in the online three-part pathway, quality-assured by Bond University) will help you screen, diagnose and treat male sexual health issues commonly seen in your male patients.

Female-specific sexual health problems are covered in the preceding courses in the pathway (the Professional Certificate and the Advanced Certificate).

"GPs can find it hard to get into this area," says Dr Lowy. "If they're dealing with male patients with a chronic health problem, for example, they may need a segue into these (sexual health) conditions."

In the video, Dr Lowy provides detailed information about the topics covered in the Professional Diploma of Sexual & Reproductive Health, including:

  • Prostate conditions and prostate check
  • Prostate cancer
  • Penile conditions and fertility check
  • Testicular cancer and male breast cancer
  • STIs in men
  • Androgen deficiency
  • Male sexual dysfunction
  • Male anatomy and clinical problems
  • Clinical case submissions

He explores what you will learn and why it's important, and why doctors should consider upskilling in sexual and reproductive health to provide a much-needed service and meet the demands of their male patients.
