Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Candice APRN:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Candice APRN and our team are urologists, surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the reproductive system in men. We 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. Candice APRN.

What is a vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a safe, simple, and highly effective form of permanent male contraception. It's a minor surgical procedure that blocks the tubes carrying sperm, often performed in the office, without affecting testosterone levels or sexual function.

I am a woman experiencing urinary leakage. Should I see a Urologist?

Yes, a urologist is the best choice for urinary leakage. Urologists are experts in both the male and female urinary tracts. Dr. Candice APRN specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes leading to leakage. Dr. Candice APRN can offer effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

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, making smaller incisions. This often results in less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

What are urodynamics?

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

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Candice APRN and her practice treat children with urological problems. Common issues addressed include bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary reflux.
