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. MacDonald explains spermatic cord denervation, a surgical option that can offer relief for some men living with chronic testicular pain.
