In this episode we discuss male pelvic pain, a problem that few men want to talk about but one that many men suffer from. In men, pelvic pain can present as pain in the penis, the testicles, the groin, and the perineum (that space between the testicles and the anus). Pelvic pain can be a very bothersome problem and even debilitating for some men. It can keep men from participating in activities they enjoy and can destroy their sex lives. The problem is made still worse by the fact that most men don’t feel comfortable talking about it and frankly don’t know who to talk to about it. Fortunately, to help us better understand the causes and possible treatment options for male pelvic pain, joining us today is an expert in male pelvic pain.
