19. “Mr Positive Penis”– Prostate Cancer, Incontinence & a Sling

  So Penis Project podcasters, you asked for it so we have delivered. This is a story where things post prostate treatment didn’t go quite as planned. Mr Positive Penis had a long rough road but got there eventually. Both Jo and I have had a lot of feedback that we have presented positive stories re prostate cancer rehab. So we have listened and given you a view from the not so rosey side.   Today, we speak with Positive Penis who didn't have the happiest of starts.    Positive Penis was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in October 2018. He started his pelvic floor sessions way in December before his February prostate surgery. Despite starting pre-surgery and the positive outlook that he'd be up and about after the surgery him having an active lifestyle, that was not the case - not at all.    According to Positive Penis, 'It wasn't easy'.    At two months after surgery, Mr. Positive Penis was still on antibiotics due to UTI. And at six months, he was still heavily leaking - the highest being 380g a day.    It was only after 18 months when he heard these words from a colleague, 'It's great to have you back', that he really felt he was on track.    Despite the hardships and setbacks, Mr. Positive Penis was able to travel 7 countries in 7 weeks (with the help of a penis clamp) and walk from Cape-to-Cape to celebrate their 50th anniversary.    Mr. Positive Penis also had to go through Urodynamics - an assessment of pressure flows of the bladder and rectum. It might sound awful but according to Mr. Positive Penis it was all ok - it is something needed to be done after all. The result was that he had poor control of his bladder.    Listen too as he talks about 'The Sling' ~ which made things better!   And then Mr. Positive Penis talks about Melissa, how he was surprised that 'people like Melissa' exists 😂, the importance of cuddling, snuggling, and communication.   From the experience, here's what Mr. Positive Penis has to say:    "You should not be alone, you don't need to rely on 1 or 2 people. Think of who could be your team. :) You are not actually by yourself, you need to be aware of who could best support you."    Listen to Mr. Positive Penis, Dr. Jo, and Melissa to know more about the things that are being done when things aren't as rosey after surgery - urodynamics, penile clamps, dribbling, sling, artificial sphincter, the great effects of pelvic floor exercises, pilates to help with incontinence, pushing boundaries, staying positive, and a lot more!  ---------- 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/

16. “Pedro” – The Psychological dilemma of a Prostate Cancer diagnosis

  Today, we speak with Pedro. Pedro was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 62. At first, he felt lost and looked into his situation as 'half empty', even initially deciding not to go through treatment. But a request from his daughter changed his perspective. Today, Pedro is enjoying his experience and new discoveries, even saying that he felt like losing his virginity all over again - in terms of his orgasm. For this episode, we hope that the learnings Pedro had from his experiences, starting from his discovery to recovery, will help you see the brighter side of things - as he did.    ----- The Penis Project Podcast is the place to come to find out everything you've always wanted to know about men's health but were too embarrassed to ask. ------------ The Penis Project is sponsored by PROST!

12. “Naomi’’- Meet the woman who had her prostate removed. Transexuality in Prostate Cancer

Welcome to episode 12 of The Penis Project Podcast. Today, we speak with Naomi. Naomi is a male to female trans woman. Please listen as she shares her story in a heartfelt, honest exchange. From overcoming her prostate cancer at 47, her challenges to becoming the woman she is now, and to advocating the importance of frequent PSA checks. We hope this interview will educate and assist more in reducing ignorance about trans folks and positively, ripple into respect. As Naomi said, "We're not weird, we're human beings - we have the right to live". We have tried to cover topics you have wanted to ask but didn’t think you could such as: experience of discrimination and acceptance, difference of crossdresser from transgender, being called queer, and saying goodbye to the penis.   Below are helpful links of the things mentioned in the podcast: Charlie Martin - the first trans to join the 24 Hour Le Mans competition.
