MEN, WHAT’S YOUR PROSTATE IQ? TRANSMEDIA CREATES TEST TO FIND OUT

Boca Raton, FL--  How much do men know about their prostate?  What’s their Prostate IQ?

TransMedia Group (www.transmediagroup.com) has devised a way to find out through the National Prostate IQ Test.

"TransMedia said it constructed the test to go along with a mobile app created by Dr. Herb Ross. The app, called Prostate Aerobics (www.prostateaerobics.com) serves as a personal trainer reminding and instructing users to exercise their pelvic floor muscles to strengthen and restore prostate health.

"Pelvic floor muscles shouldn't sag like the floors of a decrepit house," said Dr. Ross, author of "sleep Disorders.

"If they do, Viagra and Cialis won't help as much and sleep won't last as long due to frequent urination at night".

For media, here’s a sneak preview of the test.  Find out what male readers/viewers know about protecting their prostate and reducing frequency of bathroom visits at night.  Dr. Ross knows much about those interruptions as he was the founder of the Aspen Sleep Institute.
