Episode notes

It’s difficult to have issues down there when you’re older but it’s more difficult when you’re younger! If you remember being a teenager or if you are one you will know how hard (or not it is).

For today’s episode, we have Pele, a young man who was so brave enough to seek help when things weren’t going good down there.

Pele is the youngest interviewee we have had on the podcast and we’re extremely glad that he willingly opened his story for all of us to listen to and learn from.

Three days after he was diagnosed with COVID, Pele noticed a decreased blood flow on one side of his penis, some pain in the base, his erection wasn’t the same, and that he was not having his morning wood. He didn’t immediately mention this to his parents but when a few days had passed and nothing improved, he went to ask his mum for help.

They went to a GP who referred them to a urologist. The urologist didn’t find any major issues… but recognised that there was a problem. So he referred Pele to Melissa. And Melissa to Dr Jo for holistic intervention.

What do you think happened to Pele? Was it caused by COVID or was it a result of something different or perhaps a combination of things?

The truth is, Pele suffered from Hard Flaccid Syndrome, which was directly related to his pelvic floor, previous surgery, growth, and… hard coughing (from Covid).

To understand it fully and hear the explanation why this phenomenon happened to our young man, listen to the episode now. ;)

We’d also like to take this chance to again remind you that it is totally ok to seek help, that there is help, and the earlier you get checked, the better.

Thank you, Pelé, for showing us your courage! May it inspire men whether young or old to seek the help they need.
