Free Community Health Seminar for Men
Dr. Phil Aschi, a urologist on the medical staff of CMH Regional Health System/Clinton Memorial Hospital, will lead a
free men’s health seminar on Thursday, Oct. 14, at the Clinton Memorial Hospital Conference Center.
Spouses or partners are invited to attend the event which will last approximately two hours. Registration will begin at 5:30 p.m. followed
by the presentation at 6. Refreshments will be served. Space is limited and reservations are strongly advised.
To register, call (866) HEAL-BPH/(866) 432-5274.
Dr. Aschi will explain some of the latest treatment options for two of the most common conditions affecting men today--benign prostate
hyperplasia (BPH or enlarged prostate) and erectile dysfunction (ED). A question-and-answer period will follow the program.
Dr. Aschi will attempt to bring clarity to two topics that together affect well over half of all men above the age of 60 in the United
States. BPH is a natural non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. Symptoms of BPH include frequent urination, weak flow, and interrupted
sleep — factors that can significantly impact a man’s quality of life.
“Many men are commonly offered two treatment options for BPH — prescription medication, or a surgical procedure known as transurethral
resection of the prostate (TURP),” Dr. Aschi says. “Both options are effective, yet both have potential side effects.”
Dr. Aschi will explain a new procedure involving a minimally invasive laser surgery, from American Medical Systems, that can equal the
benefits of TURP with fewer potential complications; it can also be performed on an outpatient basis.
ED is the inability to maintain en erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. “Diabetes, heart disease, prostate surgery and medications for other conditions are among the most common physical causes,” Dr. Aschi says. “The good news is that nearly every case is treatable today. Options range from lifestyle changes to medications, as well as more permanent solutions such as penile implants, from American Medical Systems.”
Those attending can park in front of the CMH Professional Building, adjacent to Clinton Memorial Hospital at 630 W. Main St. Enter the
building and take the door to the left which leads into the hospital. Take the first hallway to the right, take another right, and follow the hallway
to the first set of doors on the right past the Reflections Cafeteria. That will be the entrance to the CMH Conference Center.
