Season 3, #E5: Dr Pippa Sangster: Understanding the penis and testicles
Pippa is a consultant urologist at University College London Hospital (UCLH) and is the lead for the male infertility service. A urologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the urinary tract and reproductive system for men, women, and children. Pippa qualified from Guy’s and St Thomas’s Medical School, London in 2001. She has further degrees in Psychology (BSc) and was awarded the gold medal in the Urology MSc. She holds an Honorary Associate Professor post within reproductive health. Her main area of expertise is Andrology. An andrologist is someone who focuses on male sexual health and the male reproductive system.
Pippa particularly works with men suffering with infertility, erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease and associated endocrine related issues. In addition to medically improving men’s sperm counts and health, she performs surgical sperm retrieval and is a world-renowned expert at MicroTESE and varicocele repair.

How much do you know about the anatomy and function of the penis and testicles? Does penis size matter? Pippa says the answer is no! We explored the role of testosterone in men, debunking some common myths about it. Sex for men is complicated – getting an erection, sustaining an erection, not coming too soon, or too late. Pippa explains the ladder of medical treatments that men can use to help with erections and the link between the lack of erection and heart disease, primarily due to the role of blood flow and vascular health in both conditions. If a man has any problems with getting an erection, he should see his doctor. However, ejaculation problems are often more difficult to treat. Pippa has encountered many men resorting to black market treatments to solve these issues, including injecting unregulated substances into their penis.
We also discuss what men need to consider if they want to have children. And Pippa explains testicular, penile, and prostate cancer. Men's reproductive health remains a taboo subject, and it's time to break the silence—encouraging men to talk openly, both with each other and with their doctors.
