    Penile Implants & the Austin Powers Pump

    Be sure to leave your questions in the comments below and let us know what topics you want to hear more about! IG @DoctorWalser A breast implant just sits there. A penile implant has to work. Dr. Walser walks Madi through the device nobody talks about: the penile prosthesis. How the first one was built in 1936 out of a rib, why the malleable version is “always stiff as a board,” how the three-piece inflatable actually works (there is a pump in your s*****m and a switch), why the brand names sound like Transformers, who needs one and who should never get one. Madi asks whether insurance pays, whether you can get one just to be bigger, and why, if we can build an iPhone, nobody has built a better one. Plus the Austin Powers pump, which turns out to be a real medical device, and why “penile rehab” is a thing after prostate surgery. Recorded in August 2026. *A few numbers, corrected: AMS is American Medical Systems, now part of Boston Scientific. Pooled studies put patient satisfaction around 83% (many single studies above 90%) and partner satisfaction around 70 to 76%. US implants are estimated at 23,000 to 25,000 a year. US maternal mortality was 17.9 per 100,000 births in 2024, the highest of 14 high-income countries. And yes, this is educational, not medical advice, and we still want you to see an actual doctor.

    Doctor Discovers His Own Prostate Cancer

    Imagine developing technology to improve MRI imaging, volunteering to test it on yourself…and then noticing everyone in the room suddenly getting VERY quiet.That’s exactly what happened to Randy Jones.In this episode, Madison and her dad, Dr. Eric Walzer, sit down with medical technology inventor Randy Jones for a fascinating conversation about prostate cancer, MRI technology, artificial intelligence, men’s health, and giving patients more information and options when navigating their healthcare.They also get into PSA levels, biopsies, active surveillance, focal treatment, patient access to diagnostic information, and why men need to get more comfortable talking openly about their health.And because Madison is interviewing her own father, a serious conversation about prostate cancer naturally turns into questions about whether men brag to their friends about having a huge prostate.Normal father-daughter stuff. --- #healthtechnologyinnovator #cancerscreening #patientadvocacy #fatherdaughter #medicalpodcast #healthpodcast --- If there’s one thing to take away from this episode, it’s that taking your health seriously shouldn’t be embarrassing. 👍 LIKE 📤 SHARE 🔔 SUBSCRIBE And tell us what Doctor Dad should explain next! ⚠️ This podcast is for entertainment and informational purposes and is not intended as individualized medical advice.

    In Defense of the Taint

    Be sure to leave your questions in the comments below and let us know what topics you want to hear more about! IG @DoctorWalserWhat is a perineum, why does the Greek root translate to roughly "around nothing," and why is Dr. Walser going to bat for the most ignored square inch of the human body? Madi and Dr. Walser cover the anatomy every single person has and nobody discusses: where it sits on men and women, why it's the area cut during an episiotomy, and the live controversy in American medicine right now. Europe has switched prostate biopsies from going through the rectum to going through the perineum and reported zero infections, while the US still largely goes through the rectum with an infection rate around four to five percent. Then: why doctors resist the switch, how billing codes quietly shape which procedure you're offered, pelvic floor therapy and why the perineum wires into the limbic system rather than the thinking part of your brain, kegels for men, incontinence and impotence, pudendal neuralgia, saddle injuries, and why sitting all day is rough on a body part that wants you upright. Plus the argument that the shame is the actual health risk, and what happened to teen pregnancy in Colorado when they started teaching sex ed.And yes, this is educational, not medical advice, and we still want you to see an actual doctor. We raised you better than that.Got questions? https://doctorwalser.com/podcastNew episodes every Tuesday at 5 am EST. Bring questions. Be curious.Produced by @pettycashstudios

    A Doctor Reacts to the Military's Testosterone Order

    Be sure to leave your questions in the comments below and let us know what topics you want to hear more about! IG @DoctorWalserWhat happens when the internet decides every man's problem can be solved with more testosterone?In July, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced annual testosterone screening for service members 30 and older, framing it as the path to a higher-testosterone military. The Pentagon issued the guidance in early September, then pulled it within a day.Madison asks her dad, an interventional radiologist, what any of it actually means. They unpack the Low T conversation: testosterone supplementation, fertility, sperm counts, whether younger men really do have low testosterone, and why so many people are taking hormones without ever getting tested first. Plus why taking your medical advice from someone without a medical degree might not be the greatest life strategy.And because this is apparently what counts as normal father-daughter bonding in this family, Madison also gets to ask her dad about libido, reproductive health, and hanky panky.And yes, this is educational, not medical advice, and we still want you to see an actual doctor.If you learned something you did not expect to learn today, leave a like.Tell us in the comments: what health claim have you seen online that you want Dr. Walser to fact-check?Subscribe for more father-daughter conversations, and send this to the person in your family who would turn dinner into a lecture on brain anatomy.Got questions? https://doctorwalser.com/podcastNew episodes every Tuesday at 5 am EST. Bring questions. Be curious.Produced by @pettycashstudiosTIMELINE- Mid-July 2026: Hegseth announced annual testosterone screening for service members 30 and older, optional under 30, with voluntary testosterone replacement therapy for those testing low. He framed it as keeping troops on the "leading edge of lethality."- Wed 2026-09-03: the Pentagon published the detailed guidance, "Clinical Guidance for Health and Human Performance Optimization," effective immediately.- Thu 2026-09-04: the memo and accompanying statement were removed. Described as temporarily rescinded. Whether it returns is unknown. It is DoD-wide, covering service members across the military. It is NOT Army-specific.Physicians and researchers publicly questioned whether Hegseth's claims about testosterone are supported by research.#doctor #familypodcast #medicalpodcast #comedypodcast #medicine #petehegseth #testosterone #lowt #menshealth #hormonehealth #fertility #militaryhealth #healtheducation
