The Expert Series S8E3: Lupus and Men

In this episode of the Lupus Foundation of America's The Expert Series podcast, we focus on the unique challenges faced by men with lupus, a group that often experiences delayed diagnosis and is impacted by widespread misconceptions. Dr. Lisa Sammaritano shares how lupus symptoms can differ between men and women, and how the disease can affect mental health, identity, and quality of life. We also discuss reproductive health concerns and the evolving landscape of lupus treatment. For men who are newly diagnosed, Dr. Sammaritano offers practical guidance and emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy, education, and seeking support throughout the lupus journey.
