The point of the Billionaires’ Vagina Club — which recently appeared in The New Yorker and The Times — is that research is outrunning what insurance will pay for.
So, women with cash are demanding what the research supports — not just what insurance will cover.
The same divide is opening in men’s health.
As you read this recently published review of penile rehabilitation after prostate surgery, consider two things:
- Many of the newer therapies are not covered by insurance. Insurance coverage is a money decision — not a verdict on the research.
- Why wait until you need prostate surgery to do what we already know makes the penis healthier?
Here’s the part most men never hear: the methods that insurance does cover do not reverse or slow the underlying pathology. But some of the ideas in that article do — including the reference to platelet-rich plasma (PRP), the science behind the Priapus Shot®.
I hope you find this helpful.
Sincerely yours,
