Prostate cancer is common. By the time a man reaches 50 years old, he’s got a 42% chance of developing prostate cancer but very few actually die from prostate cancer itself. So don’t freak out! It’s common to find prostate, cancerous cells in younger men and it’s normal to increase with age. It’s only a small percentage that experience symptoms or are life-threatening.

In 2004, Karl lost a testicle due to a bacterial infection and has been flying solo ever since. Through his experience, he’s devoted his clinical practice to helping other men navigate through pelvic pain and other dangly bits related issues, including a much mysterious issue called hard-flaccid. Hard what? I guess you’ll just have to listen to the show and find out…
