137. Rise of the Phoenix - Meet Phoenix
from The Penis Project Podcast: Breaking Taboos in Men’s Sexual Health · host Sexologist Melissa Hadley Barrett and Physiotherapist Dr Jo Milios
Today, we speak with Phoenix, a 54-year-old man, who underwent surgery for prostate cancer in July 2022. Over a period of three years, Phoenix monitored his PSA levels, until one test showed an elevated result and him experiencing difficulty passing urine. Subsequent tests were conducted, including an MRI and biopsy to confirm diagnosis. Continence was an issue for Phoenix after surgery. He also encountered another setback in the form of an anal fissure, which made it difficult for him to walk and required surgery to fix. Regarding his current continence status, Phoenix underwent shockwave therapy to address any lingering issues. One nice surprise though that he mentioned is that his orgasms have become more intense than before. (SN: We would love your vote on this in the button below. ;)) Despite the challenges he has faced, Phoenix remains committed to following health advice, going with the flow, and avoiding competitiveness - in terms of doing rips in the gym and in how one recovers from surgery. He acknowledges that the journey has been challenging at times but is determined to do everything possible to maintain his progress. Encouragingly, he has stopped wearing pads for the last four weeks, marking a significant milestone in his recovery. In conclusion, Phoenix's experience with prostate cancer and subsequent surgery has had its ups and downs. However, he has emerged from it with positive results and an optimistic outlook. By trusting in health advice, adapting to changes, and focusing on his well-being, Phoenix has made significant strides in his recovery. ---------- 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
