  • Balls Hurt for No Reason? Here’s What It Might Mean — And What to Do

    Balls Hurt for No Reason? Here’s What It Might Mean — And What to Do
    Sep 15 2026

    Does stress literally break your balls? Dr. Jesse Mills is joined by urologist and men’s health specialist Dr. Susan MacDonald to break down the many causes of testicular and scrotal pain, from infections and pelvic floor dysfunction to chronic nerve pain. They explain why imaging doesn’t always reveal the source, how constipation and stress can contribute to symptoms, and why pelvic floor physical therapy may be an important part of treatment. Plus, Dr. McDonald explains spermatic cord denervation, a surgical option that can offer relief for some men living with chronic testicular pain.

  • Prostate Cancer Awareness Month (Part 1): Screening Without the Scare Tactics

    Prostate Cancer Awareness Month (Part 1): Screening Without the Scare Tactics
    Sep 10 2026

    With September being prostate awareness month, we're resharing our lengthy discussion with UCLA urologic oncologist and surgeon-scientist Dr. Wayne Brisbane. In our first installment, Dr. Mills tackles the most confusing—and most important—starting point: screening. What does an “elevated PSA” actually mean, why is it controversial, and how do you avoid unnecessary panic (or unnecessary procedures) while still catching cancer early? Using a real-world “55-year-old patient journey,” they break down PSA as a prostate “thermometer,” when to repeat a test, what role MRI plays today, and how newer tools like urine biomarkers and micro-ultrasound are reshaping early detection—before the series moves on to diagnosis and treatment. (Originally aired February 17, 2026)

  • Protecting Your Balls: A Guide to Genital Trauma

    Protecting Your Balls: A Guide to Genital Trauma
    Sep 8 2026

    Today's episode is a ball buster — literally. Dr. Mills tackles the subject no man wants to think about: genital trauma. Using the story of a pro baseball player who finished an at-bat with a ruptured testicle as a jumping-off point, he explains what can happen when the penis or testicles suffer a serious injury, how doctors repair the damage, and why timing matters. From testicular rupture and protective cups to penile reconstruction and even transplants, Jesse walks through some of the most extreme cases urologists encounter — and the warning signs that mean it’s time to get to the ER.
