• Paraphimosis: To prevent paraphimosis and its painful consequences, it's important to know how to safely retract and clean your foreskin, preventing painful trapping.
• Urinary Retention: Regular checkups and open communication with your doctor are key to preventing urinary retention, especially if you have risk factors like diabetes or nerve problems.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Alberto Duboy:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Duboy 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 men at higher risk (African American men or those with a family history), this conversation should start earlier, around 40-45. {Dr. Alberto Duboy} will help you determine the best screening plan for you through a shared decision-making process.

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

Common UTI signs include frequent or urgent urination, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. See Dr. Duboy for diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential kidney infection.

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

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple blood test, typically done in the morning. If the results show low levels and you have symptoms, Dr. Duboy can discuss safe and effective treatment options like gels, injections, or pellets.

What are the most common signs of bladder cancer?

The most common and earliest sign of bladder cancer is blood in the urine (hematuria), which can be visible or microscopic. Other less common symptoms include frequent urination or pain during urination. Smoking is the single biggest risk factor for prevention.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Duboy and our team treat a wide range of adult urological conditions. While we do not specialize in pediatric urology, we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists for patients requiring care for conditions such as bedwetting, undescended testicles, or urinary reflux.

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 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, impairing sperm production, and is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.
