Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Ahmad Kasraeian offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Prostate Biopsy: A prostate biopsy is a valuable diagnostic tool used to assess suspicious areas in the prostate gland, aiding in the early diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
• Cystotomy: A cystotomy helps prevent long-term bladder damage by providing a way to directly inspect the bladder for abnormalities, facilitating prompt diagnosis and treatment.
• Orchiopexy for Undescended Testicle: For optimal reproductive health, orchiopexy addresses undescended testicles, minimizing the likelihood of long-term complications like infertility and cancer.
• Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy or Pyelostolithotomy: Taking proactive steps to manage kidney stones? This procedure, percutaneous nephrolithotomy or pyelostolithotomy, removes stones to prevent recurring pain and potential long-term kidney problems.
• Excision of Testicular Lesion: This surgical procedure involves removing a suspicious area on your testicle for testing to ensure early detection and treatment of any potential issue.
• Orchiectomy: As part of managing certain types of testicular cancer, an orchiectomy might be performed to remove the cancerous tissue and prevent its spread.
• Bladder Surgery: Bladder surgery can be a proactive step to remove bladder tumors, potentially preventing the spread of cancer and improving your long-term health.
• Lithotripsy: Protecting your urinary tract health starts with proactive measures; lithotripsy can effectively shatter kidney stones, relieving pain and preventing further damage.
• Cystometry: Cystometry is a simple test that measures your bladder's function, helping us identify and address potential problems early, preventing future urinary issues.
• Prostate Cancer Screening Exam (DRE): Protecting your future starts with proactive steps, and a DRE is a vital part of this plan, helping find prostate cancer at a stage when it's often most treatable.
• Destruction of Penile Lesion: Early detection and removal of penile lesions are crucial steps in preventing the development of more serious conditions.
• Varicocelectomy or Hydrocelectomy: Addressing potential fertility issues early is key; a varicocelectomy or hydrocelectomy can help resolve varicoceles or hydroceles, improving chances of conception.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Ahmad Kasraeian:

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. 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 a shared discussion with Dr. Kasraeian.

What is BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), and is it related to cancer?

BPH is a very common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that occurs as men age. It is not prostate cancer and does not increase the risk of developing it. Dr. Kasraeian's practice offers many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

What is a vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a safe, simple, and highly effective form of permanent male contraception. It's a minor surgical procedure, often performed in the office, that blocks the tubes carrying sperm. This procedure does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

What is a varicocele and how does it affect fertility?

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, similar to a varicose vein in the leg. It can raise the temperature in the testicles, potentially impairing sperm production, and is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition characterized by a sudden, frequent, and urgent need to urinate, sometimes leading to leakage. Dr. Kasraeian can offer many 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, leading to smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

How is Low Testosterone (Low T) diagnosed and treated?

Diagnosis involves a simple morning blood test to measure testosterone levels. If levels are low and symptoms are present, Dr. Kasraeian can discuss safe and effective treatment options like gels, injections, or pellets.
