Welcome to: The Penis Project Podcast
Connecting men through science, stories, solutions but most of all support.
This fortnightly podcast is dedicated to stories from men who have bravely recognised the importance of sharing their experiences, breaking down stigmas, and having no-filter chats about sexual health, cancer treatment and recovery, relationships and everything in between.
This is your online men’s health support group where I answer questions you’ve always had but are too embarrassed to ask.
Our Aim
Is to provide a podcast series that links science and the real stories of everyday men, by kick-starting a conversation on any topic that may impact male health including, but not limited to, prostate cancer. There is a cultural shift happening - men are happy to talk, but how and where do they start a conversation about problems in their private parts? At the pub? By the pool? On their push bike? Not likely… that’s why we have started The Penis Project.
The long-term objective is to reduce the stigma and reluctance of males to seek help for issues of their private parts and to create a conversation that is safe, accessible and inclusive to all generations. From puberty and beyond, problems of the penis and private parts are part of everyday life, and often early intervention is the key to reducing potentially catastrophic outcomes. E.g. prostate, testicular and bladder cancer, premature ejaculation, Peyronie’s Disease, depression, anxiety, relationship breakdowns and potentially suicide. Sadly, we have seen it all, and far too often…
The Penis Project podcast is perfect for you if you would like to hear real men just like you talk about how they have dealt with various issues, if you are a health professional working in men’s health and want more information and resources, or if you are a partner of someone having these issues. We also interview other health professionals and researches about how they assist men. This podcast can be your virtual men’s health support group.
In Melissa’s clinical interactions and daily conversations she is often asked:
“Do you have any other patients with the same experience?”
