Few conditions are as frustrating as testicular pain that no one can explain. Many men are told their imaging looks normal, that there’s no clear cause, or that they will simply have to live with it — yet in a large share of cases, the pain has a specific, treatable source. Identifying that source is the entire challenge, and it’s where subspecialty experience makes the difference between ongoing discomfort and genuine relief.
Dr. Justin Houman is a board-certified urologist and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons whose practice has been designated a Center of Excellence for Testicular Pain and Orchialgia, drawing referrals for complex and previously unresolved cases. Fellowship-trained in male reproductive medicine and microsurgery at UCLA and an Assistant Professor of Urology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, he has performed more than 1,000 microsurgical spermatic cord denervations along with thousands of other microsurgical procedures. That depth of experience allows him to manage some of the most difficult pain cases in urology — including post-vasectomy pain, post-hernia-repair pain, and nerve-related pain that is frequently missed on standard imaging.
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Justin Houman, who is truly an expert in male fertility. He took the time to listen carefully and explain all the available options in a way that was easy to understand. His approach is compassionate, professional, and very thorough. I felt confident knowing I was in the care of someone highly specialized in men’s reproductive health. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and caring physician to help with male fertility concerns, I highly recommend Dr. Houman.

Meet Dr. Houman
Expert in Men’s Health with Tower Urology and Cedars Sinai
Dr. Justin Houman, MD, FACS is a board-certified urologist and fellowship-trained microsurgeon at Tower Urology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. His subspecialty training in male reproductive medicine and microsurgery is held by fewer than 2% of practicing urologists in the United States.
His clinical focus is narrow by design. Varicoceles, chronic testicular pain, male infertility, vasectomy, testosterone optimization, erectile dysfunction, penile implant surgery, and Peyronie’s disease are not add-on services here. They are the practice. Patients travel from across the country and internationally for procedures, particularly microsurgical varicocelectomy, spermatic cord denervation, and inflatable penile implant surgery, that require a level of subspecialty training and surgical volume most urology practices do not have.
