Congratulations to Dr. Luca Incrocci, ISSM Treasurer, who has been awarded the Gold Medal for leading experts within Europe by the European Federation of Sexology (EFS).

Dr. Incrocci is a radiation-oncologist at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

He received the award last month at the biennial congress of the European Federation of Sexology, held in Madrid. He was honored for his work and research on the sexual functioning of cancer patients.

“I am honoured to receive the Gold Medal and thankful to EFS for recognizing how important it is to develop research and educational activities dedicated to sexual functioning of cancer patients," Dr. Incrocci said.

American researchers have found an association between a man's waist circumference, urinary health, and sexual health.

Among 409 participants, the men with a waist circumference of 100 cm (approximately 39.4 inches) or more were likely to have problems with erections and ejaculation.  They tended to urinate more frequently and they had higher rates of high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, and higher cholesterol levels.

“This adds even more importance to the recommendation that men should maintain a healthy weight for their overall well-being,” Dr. Steven Kaplan, one of the study authors, said in a press release.
