Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Bradley PA:

What is a Urologist?

A urologist is a surgical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system. They manage a wide range of issues, from kidney stones and urinary tract infections to cancers of the prostate, bladder, and kidneys.

At what age should men start discussing prostate cancer screening?

Discussions about prostate cancer screening, including the PSA blood test, typically begin around age 50 for average-risk men. For higher-risk men, such as African American men or those with a family history, this conversation should start earlier, around age 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Bradley PA.

What is the most common sign of testicular cancer?

The most common sign of testicular cancer is a painless lump or swelling in a testicle. Monthly self-exams are crucial for early detection, as early diagnosis is key to the very high cure rate for this cancer.

What is a cystoscopy?

A cystoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure where our urologist, Dr. Bradley PA, uses a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) to look directly inside your bladder and urethra. This allows us to check for issues like bladder tumors, stones, or sources of bleeding. It's a quick, routine office procedure.

What are urodynamics?

Urodynamic testing is a series of tests evaluating how well your bladder and urethra store and release urine. This helps Dr. Bradley PA understand the precise cause of issues like incontinence or difficulty urinating, leading to a more effective treatment plan.

What is robotic surgery, and what are its benefits?

Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is a minimally invasive technique. A surgeon uses a console to control robotic arms with tiny instruments, leading to smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

What are the signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI)?

Common UTI symptoms include frequent or urgent urination, burning during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. See Dr. Bradley PA for proper diagnosis and antibiotic treatment to prevent kidney infection.

Can erectile dysfunction be a sign of another health problem?

Yes, erectile dysfunction (ED) can often be an early warning sign of underlying cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or other health issues. A consultation with Dr. Bradley PA is not just about treating ED, but also an important step in a proactive, overall health screening.
