But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9676765\/\">a 2022 study<\/a> found that it\u2019s especially true with men\u2019s health topics. Learn why social media misinformation is so prevalent around men\u2019s health and what you can do to get the real facts.<\/p>\n<h3>Men\u2019s Health And Social Media Misinformation<\/h3>\n<p>In the study, researchers searched on both TikTok and Instagram for a range of men\u2019s health terms, like \u201ctestosterone,\u201d \u201csemen retention,\u201d \u201cerectile dysfunction,\u201d and so on. They used the available data, namely views on TikTok (over 2 billion) and number of posts on Instagram (over 3 million), and collected the top 40 posts for each search term. They then evaluated them for accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>They also looked at what, and who, is popular. They found that creators and other people who weren\u2019t medical professionals had a much broader following on topics like testosterone, while on topics like vasectomy, the pros had a larger audience. Medical experts also had a larger following, averaging over 700,000 followers to just under 200,000.<\/p>\n<p>The problem, though, is volume: Healthcare workers accounted for only 17.3% of all posts on these topics on Instagram and 15.5% of posts on TikTok.<\/p>\n<h3>The Study Results<\/h3>\n<p>To determine accuracy, TikTok posts were narrowed down to include only those that purported to be educational, and the study authors ranked them from 1 (no accurate information) to 5 (completely accurate).<\/p>\n<p>Here are the results:<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-118\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-118\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Topic<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Overall Post Accuracy<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Non-Professional Post Accuracy<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Professional Post Accuracy<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Testosterone<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2.3<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.3<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">3.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Erectile dysfunction<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2.8<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.4<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">5.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Male infertility<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">3.0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.6<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">4.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Semen retention<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1.5<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1.5<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">N\/A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Peyronie\u2019s disease<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">3.6<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">3.6<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">3.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Vasectomy<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">5.0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">5.0<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">5.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Totals<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2.6<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.3<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">4.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-118 from cache -->\n<p><em>Accuracy scores on a scale of 1 (inaccurate) to 5 (completely accurate)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While there are a few surprises in the results, like the accuracy of vasectomy content, the overall totals say it all. The posters with appropriate training were nearly two points more accurate than those without it in posts that were intended to be educational.<\/p>\n<p>This method has some flaws. For example, doctors don\u2019t talk about semen retention (not ejaculating, sometimes referred to as NoFap) on social media at all, because it\u2019s a social media trend, not a medical topic. But overall, the results were clear that if you\u2019re consuming advice from someone who isn\u2019t a medical doctor, you should check their claims.<\/p>\n<h3>Examples of Online Sexual Health Misinformation<\/h3>\n<p>A quick dive into these social networks using the term with the most inaccuracy, \u201cerectile dysfunction,\u201d quickly illustrates the problem.<\/p>\n<p>A notable piece of content from a TikTok influencer has garnered significant attention, reaching over 400,000 views. It offers health tips that he claims will cure erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the advice he gives is correct, but much of it, like drinking a gallon of water a day and taking a cold shower, is perhaps good for your overall health, but it won\u2019t do much to help your ED.<\/p>\n<p>Other posts, such as ones claiming that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thatcorncoach\/video\/7042876607354178821\">\u201cporn addiction\u201d causes erectile dysfunction<\/a>, are even more popular, some with millions of views. However, there is little scientific evidence to support such claims. In fact, some studies have found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/current-health-news\/the-surprising-positive-effects-of-watching-pornography\/\">watching porn can actually have beneficial effects<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A search on Instagram for the same hashtag yielded similar results.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s going on here? And how can men protect themselves?<\/p>\n<h3>Protecting Your Health from Social Media Misinformation<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/doctor-explaining-patient-how-to-protect-their-health.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36807 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/doctor-explaining-patient-how-to-protect-their-health.jpg\" alt=\"doctor explaining patient how to protect their health\" width=\"780\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/doctor-explaining-patient-how-to-protect-their-health.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/doctor-explaining-patient-how-to-protect-their-health-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/doctor-explaining-patient-how-to-protect-their-health-768x520.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Take the following steps to help protect yourself from misinformation on men\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<h4>Check the Poster\u2019s Credentials<\/h4>\n<p>If you see a post about men\u2019s health, before you watch, click into the person\u2019s bio and see who they are and what they do. What type of medicine do they practice? Where do they practice? Is this something they see regularly in their role as a doctor?<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/doctor-explaining-patient-how-to-protect-their-health.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A legitimate medical professional will clearly post their credentials, which you can follow to find out what type of medicine they practice and where their practice is located. If you can\u2019t find this information, it\u2019s best to move on to another source of information.<\/p>\n<h4>Look for Red Flags in the Presentation<\/h4>\n<p>Because TikTok is video-driven, it\u2019s important to look at all the content, not just what the video is telling you. A particular red flag is when a post presents itself as medical content, such as being shot in a medical setting with people dressed as medical professionals, but with no sign of verifiable credentials.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/doctor-explaining-patient-how-to-protect-their-health.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Look at the tone of the video as well. If they\u2019re using <a href=\"https:\/\/smei.org\/blog\/shame-marketing-boosts-sales-but-reduces-loyalty\/\">shame marketing<\/a>, trying to make you feel bad about yourself or guilty in some way, that\u2019s a strong sign you\u2019re not getting reliable information.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/happy-couple-on-the-beach.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36808 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/happy-couple-on-the-beach.jpg\" alt=\"happy couple on the beach\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/happy-couple-on-the-beach.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/happy-couple-on-the-beach-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/happy-couple-on-the-beach-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Ask Yourself, What Do They Want From Me?<\/h4>\n<p>Finally, look closely at what the poster wants you to do. In particular, if they\u2019re pushing you to buy a product, particularly if they make claims that seem too good to be true or that don\u2019t align with accepted medical science, that\u2019s an indication you should look for another source for your information.<\/p>\n<h4>Always, Always Verify!<\/h4>\n<p>Before you do anything the video suggests, take a moment to verify the claims with well-respected sources. Look for detailed studies or articles from medical professionals working in that specific field. Compare the claims to the evidence. If they don\u2019t align, there\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n<h3>Get Your Advice and Medication From Doctors, Not Influencers<\/h3>\n<p>Ultimately, the best way to learn about men\u2019s health is to be open and honest with a doctor. Every man is different, so getting regular checkups and discussing your personal history with your provider is always the best course.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/happy-couple-on-the-beach.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you think you would benefit from medication to help with intimate problems like ED, don\u2019t trust the claims about male enhancement products and supplements that litter social media sites. Get legitimate, FDA-approved ED medications from a trustworthy source like eDrugstore.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/happy-couple-on-the-beach.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We provide complementary virtual health visits where you can discuss your sexual health needs with a U.S.-licensed physician, who will write your prescription and send your medications right to your door, discreetly and for free.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/happy-couple-on-the-beach.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t trust your health to unverified online content.
