A Romanian podcast episode (Boabe de Cunoaștere) where host Mihail Pautov interviews urologist Dr. Mihai Adrian Dobra about men’s urogenital health. Key topics: testicular self-examination (advice to palpate in the shower; peak testicular cancer incidence ~25–40 years; early-stage cure ~95%); testicular cancer workup (scrotal ultrasound, serum markers: beta‑hCG, AFP, LDH; CT for staging) and fertility preservation (sperm cryopreservation before orchiectomy). Scrotal emergencies (torsion requiring urgent detorsion/orchidopexy; infections that can rarely lead to orchidectomy) are discussed. Penile care: daily gentle washing, physiologic phimosis in young boys (avoid forced retraction), pathologic phimosis indications for circumcision, and HPV (Gardasil 9, schedule 0‑2‑6 months) with links to penile cancer risk. Prostate: anatomy and dual genital/urodynamic roles; screening guidance (PSA from ~45 if family risk, routinely from ~50; annual basic urological checks after 50), PSA caveats (elevates with inflammation/trauma; an adjunct marker), multiparametric MRI role (1–5 score to stratify suspicion), biopsy and treatment trade-offs (prostatectomy, radiotherapy, hormonotherapy) including functional risks (incontinence, erectile dysfunction). The episode emphasizes reducing stigma, timely evaluation, and that many conditions are treatable if caught early. Sponsor: Unicreditbank; call-to-action to ask questions in comments.

Questions this video answers

Approximately 25–40 years (peak near ~40).

Beta‑hCG, alpha‑fetoprotein (AFP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).

About 95% when detected in an early stage.

Sperm cryopreservation (semen freezing in a specialized laboratory) prior to removal of the testicle.

A multiparametric prostate MRI scoring 1–5: 1 = very low suspicion, 2 = low, 3 = equivocal, 4 = likely, 5 = highly likely for clinically significant cancer.
