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.
