BBC Radio 4 - Inside Health, Fewer periods, The link between erectile dysfunction and the heart

Contraception and fewer periods, and the link between erectile dysfunction and the heart.

James explores how contraception can lead to fewer periods, and the link between erectile dysfunction and the heart.

It’s time to talk about periods and contraception. Different birth control options alter the menstrual cycle. Journalist Nicola Davis tells me about her decade without periods and our resident GP Margaret McCartney and sexual health doctor Julia Bailey discuss the evidence and what you need to know. 

We’ve also got vaccination expert Adam Finn to discuss the slowdown in young people getting the Covid-19 jab and cardiologist Rohin Francis explores the link between erectile dysfunction and the heart.

PRESENTER: James Gallagher
PRODUCER: Geraldine Fitzgerald & Beth Eastwood

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
