• Prostate Removal: Prostate removal may be an option for men with significant prostate enlargement or cancer, acting as a preventative measure against urinary tract obstructions or further tumor growth.
• Lithotripsy: Taking charge of your kidney health involves understanding treatment options like lithotripsy, a procedure that painlessly removes kidney stones to prevent recurring issues.
• Varicocelectomy or Hydrocelectomy: Addressing potential fertility issues early is key; a varicocelectomy or hydrocelectomy can help resolve varicoceles or hydroceles, improving chances of conception.
• Bladder Scan: Protecting yourself from urinary tract complications begins with a bladder scan; it's a non-invasive way to assess your bladder function and catch problems before they worsen.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Alexander Boyle:

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 decision is best made in a shared discussion with Dr. Boyle.

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. Early detection through monthly self-exams is crucial, as a very high cure rate is associated with early diagnosis.

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. Alexander Boyle is not just about treating ED, but also a proactive step in overall health screening.

I have been diagnosed with a kidney stone. Will I need surgery?

Most small kidney stones can be passed naturally with increased fluid intake and pain management. For larger stones or those causing significant issues, Dr. Boyle can utilize minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to effectively break up or remove the stone.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder is a common condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes with leakage. Dr. Boyle can discuss effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

What are the most common signs of bladder cancer?

The most common and earliest sign of bladder cancer is blood in the urine, 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.

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

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