The Penis Project Podcast: Breaking Taboos in Men’s Sexual Health

Following on from last week’s podcast with Melissa about debunking the mysteries of Erectile Dysfunction, Dr. Jo will be debunking similar mysteries about continence issues that affect men! This includes both peeing and pooping problems, the use of continence pads and how to wean off them, and how to incorporate penile clamps for improved management of urinary leakage. Garnered from working with 1000’s of men in the same predicament clinically, Dr. Jo has protocols that will help any man gradually reduce continence pad use – including size, number, and the need for pads PLUS, a penile clamp protocol that will immediately improve the quality of life for heavy urinary leakage. Placed on the penis as a simple clamping device, the urinary flow stops, and the bladder re-trains, enabling a man to move, walk, exercise, and socialize without leakage! For some this has been a life-saver and for most men, restores dignity and confidence during a time of distress.  In addition, this episode also includes information about pelvic floor muscle training, bladder irritants including caffeine and alcohol, and how they affect continence and confidence! Updates on bowel continence management and the Bins 4 Blokes campaign are also addressed in this jam-packed episode of tips from the physiotherapy clinic and Dr. Jo!  ---------- Websites: https://melissahadleybarrett.com   Men’s health only https://rshealth.com.au/  All genders http://www.menshealthphysiotherapy.com.au/ http://prost.com.au/   Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/p/Melissa-Hadley-Barrett-100085237672685/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085146627814   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissahadleybarrett/ https://www.instagram.com/restorativehealth.clinic/ TikTok: @melissahadleybarrett YouTube: Melissa Hadley Barrett Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-hadley-barrett/   Music David Mercy https://open.spotify.com/artist/1HbvnltKu4XbWTmk0kpVB9?si=D1xP5dDVQK-zzNU3rViRWg   Producer Thomas Evans: The SOTA Process https://www.instagram.com/thesotaprocess/ https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jf2IYXRlgfsiqNARsY8fi

  For this week’s episode, Melissa will be debunking the mysteries of erectile dysfunction.   If you have ever done a Google search about erectile dysfunction, then perhaps you can relate to that feeling of getting more confused rather than finding answers. Why? Because there’s just too much information!   This is the reason why Melissa will be talking about this topic, today.   This episode covers penis pills (and how they weren’t originally invented not really for the penis), injections, pumps, and implants.   Just click the PLAY button below to have a listen now. 😉  ---------- Websites: https://melissahadleybarrett.com   Men’s health only https://rshealth.com.au/  All genders http://www.menshealthphysiotherapy.com.au/ http://prost.com.au/   Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/p/Melissa-Hadley-Barrett-100085237672685/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085146627814   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissahadleybarrett/ https://www.instagram.com/restorativehealth.clinic/ TikTok: @melissahadleybarrett YouTube: Melissa Hadley Barrett Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-hadley-barrett/   Music David Mercy https://open.spotify.com/artist/1HbvnltKu4XbWTmk0kpVB9?si=D1xP5dDVQK-zzNU3rViRWg   Producer Thomas Evans: The SOTA Process https://www.instagram.com/thesotaprocess/ https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jf2IYXRlgfsiqNARsY8fi

Episode 38 will be all about Prost Ross and his Member(s).  Ross had his Open Prostatectomy in 2013. It has already been 8 years since then.  We invited Ross to share with us his story on how and why he decided to continue to become a part of PROST and other support groups even though it has already been quite long after his diagnosis. For Ross, it was simple - it has become a part of his life.    Here’s what Ross can share to everyone who are still not sure whether to join a support group or not:    “Going into a support can ameliorate those feelings and fears; camaraderie in support groups is fabulous.”    Have a listen to Ross and his amazing journey from a patient to an advocate, together with his member(s). ;)  IF you're residing in Australia: Health line: 1800220099 - To talk to a Prostate Cancer specialist nurse  https://www.prostate.org.au/ ----- Thanks for listening.

Episode 37 will be about Cyberknife.    To start, Cyberknife® is defined as per below:    CyberKnife® System uses state-of-the-art robotic technology combined with real-time image guidance to deliver precisely-targeted radiation to cancerous and non-cancerous lesions almost anywhere in the body. Real-time tumour tracking enables the delivery of high doses of radiation with sub-millimetre accuracy, sparing surrounding healthy tissue and organs without the need for invasive immobilisation devices.   To know more about this technology, we have invited Peter Podias - the Director of Operations of 5D Clinics, the only private Cyberknife® clinic in Australia.    Peter will discuss how Cyberknife® works, what it does, what diseases it can help, the process, how much it costs, what are its short term and long term effects, and a lot more questions you might also want to know the answers to.   If you’re the one who's been looking for a few different options, this episode is surely for you.    This is also for you if you’re a sci-fi movie fan because as Melissa says, Cyberknife® is like something that came out from the movies.    It’s actually for everyone too who would love to know how much Science has evolved in terms of radiation therapy.    Have a listen at the link below. And don’t forget to share this episode with anyone who you feel can benefit from it. Thank you. ;)    Just for a bit of fun, see if you can say: "Peter Podias who is on the phenomenal Penis Project Podcast!” 3 times ------ Thanks for listening.
