The result: testicles are being surgically removed for pain that's actually neuropathic, at double the rate of a far more effective nerve-sparing procedure. In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Susan Macdonald, a board-certified urologist, surgical program director at Penn State, and one of only ~30 U.S. specialists treating chronic pelvic pain in men, to discuss: Why \"prostatitis\" is often the wrong diagnosis, and how rounds of antibiotics mask the real problem The male pelvic floor anatomy almost no medical school teaches, and how to recognize dysfunction in yourself or a patient Off-label medications (Cymbalta, gabapentin, amitriptyline) that are quietly transforming chronic pelvic pain treatment Why erectile dysfunction is rising sharply in teenagers, and the role pornography plays in rewiring young brains Who actually qualifies for a penile implant, and what the surgery really involves If you've been told your pain is \"all in your head,\" or you're a clinician seeing patients fall through the cracks, this conversation gives you the framework, the language, and the next steps to find real answers.
