PETALING JAYA: While his area of expertise may be more associated with sexual health, urologist Dr George Lee (pic) is quick to emphasise that being a “sex doctor” is only 5% of his work.
The Cambridge and Oxford-trained urologist has to deal with health matters ranging from incontinence, kidney stones, sexually transmitted infections, cancers of the prostate, kidney and bladder variety, and even paediatrics.
Years of dealing with these issues has not diminished his sense of humour.
“My colleagues were doctors called Andrew Ball, John Dick and Nigel Bullock. There was no way I could not end up as a urologist after working with them!” joked the clinical associate professor who spent 21 years in the United Kingdom before returning to Malaysia in 2007.
Dr Lee hopes to break some taboos and debunk the myths surrounding men’s sexual health via his weekly Ask Dr G column on The Star Online, which starts this Sunday. Readers can send him their questions at askdrg@thestar.com.my.
“It will be an avenue for men and ladies alike to open up about their personal health worries, without having to raise their hands at a public forum to ask a private question.
“My utopia would be to increase people’s knowledge of men’s health issues in a lighthearted yet informative manner,” he added.
Dr Lee will also answer any personal health questions, including those on sex, on Twitter today via the #AskDrG hashtag.
