The Penis Project Podcast: Breaking Taboos in Men’s Sexual Health

196: Penis Enlargement, Girth Goals & Urology Innovation with Dr. Amy Pearlman


Listen Later

In this refreshingly honest episode, Melissa chats with the inspiring and trailblazing Dr. Amy Pearlman—a US-based female urologist, twin, and co-founder of the Prime Institute in Florida. Known for her progressive and patient-first approach, Amy opens up about her journey into men’s health, the procedures she performs (including penile girth enhancement), and the power of confidence in sexual wellbeing. 

This episode dives deep into: 

  • Why Amy chose a career in urology 
    • How penile enhancement treatments like hyaluronic acid fillers are helping men regain confidence 
      • The rise of penile retraction as a commonly ignored concern—and what can be done about it 
        • Using tools like Restorex and vacuum erection devices for rehabilitation and enhancement 
          • Why Botox for the penis (Bocox) might be the next frontier in treating ED and penile retraction 
            • The role of filler sleeves in preserving shape post-injection 
              • Her concierge model of care and how it allows for more personalised, holistic men’s health treatment. 
              • Dr. Pearlman also busts myths and shares real-world insight from her clinical experience. Melissa shares a fascinating case of six men from Papua New Guinea searching for penis enlargement in Perth! 

                Key Topics Covered: 

                • Penile girth enhancement with hyaluronic acid filler 
                  • Filler safety, reversibility, and realistic expectations 
                    • Why sexual confidence matters in treating premature ejaculation 
                      • Treating penile retraction and post-surgical shrinkage 
                        • Erectile dysfunction therapies: PDE5 inhibitors, daily tadalafil vs. on-demand Spontan spray 
                          • How Dr. Pearlman learned procedures after formal training—and why that matters 
                            • The difference between snake oil and real innovation in men’s health 
                              • Cosmetic urology vs. functional outcomes: bridging the gap 
                              •
