Gentlemen and Gentlewomen, this bonus episode is going to hit hard.

Today Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee sit down with Dr. Vilas Saldanha, an orthopedic trauma surgeon who puts broken warriors—and weekend warriors—back together. We’re talking compound fractures from the mountains of Afghanistan, mangled ankles from Austin’s bike trails, and botched joint replacements that leave grown men unable to walk to the mailbox.

You laugh when the old guy in the meme slips on a banana peel… until it’s your dad, your buddy, or—let’s be real—you. A simple fall can shatter a hip, trigger a downward spiral, and, for too many men, become the beginning of the end.

Dr. Saldanha pulls no punches: he’ll tell you exactly how fast loss of mobility, thinning bones, and one bad step can turn a tough son of a gun into someone who can’t get out of a chair without help. More importantly, he’s giving you the playbook—strength moves, balance drills, bone-protecting habits—that keep you upright, independent, and in the fight for decades longer.

If you’ve already taken a hit—if a wreck, a fall, or a failed knee or hip replacement has you sidelined—this is your wake-up call. Pick up the phone right now: call Texas Orthopedics at (512) 439-1000 or go online and book with Dr. Saldanha. Because real men don’t quit; they get fixed and get back in the game.

Hit play—this one could literally save your life or someone you love.

Get ready to laugh (and maybe squirm a little) because on this episode of The Armor Men’s Health Show, Donna Lee sits down with the amazingly chill and fantastic Dr. Preston Smith – Interventional Radiologist and all-around hemorrhoid hero at Urology Specialists of Austin!

Yep, we’re finally talking about the thing nobody wants to talk about… the dreaded “H-word”: hemorrhoids! (Cue awkward silence at family gatherings.)

If you’ve been suffering in silence (or not-so-silence) thinking your only options are creams, sitz baths, or that medieval-sounding surgery nobody wants, hold onto your donut pillow – there’s a better way!

Dr. Smith spills the beans on Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization – a fancy way of saying, “Hey little blood vessels feeding those angry bumps… you’re cut off!” The hemorrhoids basically get ghosted by their own blood supply, shrink down, and wave goodbye to the pain, itching, and general backyard drama.

Best parts?

• Done right in the office
• Just a happy little nap (light sedation)
• You’re home chillin’ an hour later (just bring a friend to drive – no Uber heroics)
• Basically ZERO downtime – back to work, golf, spin class, whatever – usually the next day!

Compare that to the old-school hemorrhoidectomy (think 4-6 weeks of regret and waddling) and it’s like choosing between a spa day and a root canal.

So if your tush has been staging a protest, give Dr. Smith a shout!
Check out www.urologyspecialistsofaustin.com or his direct website www.summit-irad.com. Book a consult with Dr. Smith by calling (512) 828-4300.

Your butt will thank you… and so will everyone who’s tired of hearing you complain about it!

Thanks for listening to The Armor Men’s Health Show – go share this episode (and maybe spare your friends the spicy food talk). See you next week! 🚽✨

Hello to all you fantastic gentlemen and amazing ladies joining us for The Armor Men’s Health Show! I’m your host, Donna Lee, and today I’ve got some great listener questions for our board-certified urologist, Dr. Lucas Jacomides. We are both with the parent practice that hosts this podcast

First question comes from a 68-year-old man in good overall health:

“Dr. Jacomides, I’ve never had incontinence issues my entire life, but recently I’ve started wetting the bed at night. During the day I have no trouble holding my urine at all. I’ve already tried cutting back on fluids before bed and always emptying my bladder right before sleep, but the problem keeps happening. My PSA and urinalysis both came back completely normal. Is nighttime bedwetting common in men my age, and what are my treatment options?”

Second question:

“I’m a veteran, and back in August my bloodwork before a scheduled cardioversion showed a PSA of 120. My VA urologist gave me some paperwork and referred me to community care through my primary-care doctor, but no one at the VA ever explained what this means or what happens next. I was pretty shocked; nobody had flagged anything like this before. What should I expect moving forward?”

That’s it for today’s questions! Dr. Jacomides will dive in and give us the straight answers.

And to all of you listening week after week, thank you so much for tuning in to The Armor Men’s Health Show. We truly appreciate every one of you. If you’ve got a question you’d like answered anonymously on the show, head over to www.armormenshealth.com and submit it today.

Take care of yourselves out there, and we’ll see you next time!
