Did you know that 1 in 6 men develop Peyronies after Radical prostatectomy?
So for today’s episode, we will talk about it - Peyronies disease... but instead of a patient’s, it will be FROM a physiotherapist’s point of view. And for this one, we will be talking to our resident physio, Dr. Jo.
Dr. Jo will discuss the causes, the old (fad) treatments, the newest discoveries (focus shockwave plus Dr Jo’s research), theories why this happens (‘Neuropraxia’ and trauma), herbal supplements that MAY help, and a few more useful information you can use and/or share in case you know a friend/loved one that has it.
You’ll also get to learn about Neoman (your next fave channel) and online resources that help with ‘traction’.
The takeaway that we wish everyone applies; if you notice a change of shape in your penis or in your partner’s, don't be afraid. Please show it to your health professional. The sooner we get to it, the better. Please get help.
Don’t forget to also check the full show notes to see the full list of resources mentioned in this episode.
Enjoy listening! And if you can spare a minute or two to share and comment so we get to help more willy wonkies. The lesser wonkies, the better. 😉
