The first consultation with Tricia will involve a thorough history. Tricia aims to have a relaxed atmosphere with time to ask questions. A physical examination may also be necessary. There may be pathology tests ordered and perhaps a small test dose of a medication. This appointment will take 45 minutes. Treatment options will be discussed, and a plan of care will be jointly implemented.

Penile rehabilitation is a strategy aimed at enhancing recovery following treatment for various cancers. Exercises, medications and/or devices are used to optimise the recovery of sexual function and the health of the penis, reduce side effects from the surgery and also improve continence levels. These strategies have been successfully used with many men following prostate cancer treatment but also following bowel and bladder cancer treatment.
