Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Adam Gerber:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Gerber and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system. 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. However, 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 decision is best made in consultation with Dr. Gerber, as part of a shared decision-making process.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder is a common condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes leading to leakage. Dr. Gerber can discuss 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 results in less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

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

Classic UTI symptoms include frequent or urgent urination, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. Seeing a doctor for diagnosis and antibiotic treatment is important to prevent the infection from spreading to the kidneys.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Gerber's practice treats adults with urological conditions. While we don't see children, we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists for any needed care.

What are urodynamics?

Urodynamic testing is a series of tests that evaluate how well the bladder and urethra are storing and releasing urine. It helps Dr. Gerber understand the precise cause of complex issues like incontinence or difficulty urinating, leading to a more effective treatment plan.

What is a cystoscopy?

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