It can also be a time of significant change in their bodies, hormones, diet and sleep. These changes can worsen or bring on mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. Between 10 and 20 percent of pregnant women and new mothers are affected by perinatal mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy or in the first year after giving birth, but many of them are reluctant to report psychiatric symptoms, feeling shame and worry or thinking their symptoms are normal. On this episode of the DocTalks Podcast, host Ian Gillespie chats with Dr. Verinder Sharma, a psychiatrist in St. Joseph’s Health Care London’s Mental Health Program at Parkwood Institute. Dr. Sharma specializes in diagnosis, treatment and research of mood disorders and peripartum psychiatric illnesses.

An associate professor of surgery and oncology at Western University, lead for Southwest Regional Surgical Oncology at Cancer Care Ontario and a Canadian pioneer in surgical robotics, Dr. Pautler is an internationally-acclaimed and highly respected leader in prostate care. He has been watching the changing tide of screening opinions over many years and wants men to know that screening is important to their health and a straightforward process. 

Prostate screening happens in two steps starting with a PSA test. “PSA is a simple blood test that looks for levels of a protein in the blood,” explains Dr. Pautler. “PSA is made by the prostate, and high levels mean a higher risk cancer is present. But this test isn't perfect, as it can sometimes come back with inconclusive results or false positives.” The second part of the screening is a rectal exam. “In my experience, men tend to build up this little exam in their heads. We are simply looking for lumps and bumps, which is a key indicator and an important thing to check. I’ve been in this field a long time, and the hype men give this is way worse than the exam. Men really need to move past the perceived awkwardness – because it’s important.”

]]> On this episode of The DocTalks Podcast, host Ian Gillespie sits down with St. Joseph’s Health Care London urologist Dr. Stephen Pautler to discuss a topic that is difficult for most men to talk about - prostate cancer. 

An associate professor of surgery and oncology at Western University, lead for Southwest Regional Surgical Oncology at Cancer Care Ontario and a Canadian pioneer in surgical robotics, Dr. Pautler is an internationally-acclaimed and highly respected leader in prostate care. He has been watching the changing tide of screening opinions over many years and wants men to know that screening is important to their health and a straightforward process. 

Prostate screening happens in two steps starting with a PSA test. “PSA is a simple blood test that looks for levels of a protein in the blood,” explains Dr. Pautler. “PSA is made by the prostate, and high levels mean a higher risk cancer is present. But this test isn't perfect, as it can sometimes come back with inconclusive results or false positives.” The second part of the screening is a rectal exam. “In my experience, men tend to build up this little exam in their heads. We are simply looking for lumps and bumps, which is a key indicator and an important thing to check. I’ve been in this field a long time, and the hype men give this is way worse than the exam. Men really need to move past the perceived awkwardness – because it’s important.”
