The Male Reproductive Organs
Description
With her trademark no-nonsense style, Dr. Alice Roberts explains in this episode how the male anatomy works and offers practical advice on how to keep it healthy. She is joined by 30-year-old Mark Smallman, who realizes he knows very little about his own body. Mark's education begins in the lab, with Dr. Roberts dissecting a male pig's reproductive organs and getting Mark to cut through a testicle. Although testicular cancer is uncommon, Mark, at under 40, is in the age group most at risk. He also is told how to self-examine for lumps by urologist Alan Doherty, who carries out a pioneering operation (filmed in the program) on a prostate cancer patient.
