Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Ali 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 reproductive system in men. 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 ideally start earlier, around age 40-45. This decision is best made in a shared discussion with Dr. Kasraeian.

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. Monthly self-exams are crucial for early detection, as early diagnosis is key to the very high cure rate for this cancer.

What is robotic surgery, and what are its benefits?

Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is a minimally invasive technique where a surgeon uses a console to control robotic arms with tiny instruments. This results in smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

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.

What are the treatment options for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Dr. Kasraeian and his team offer many effective modern treatments for erectile dysfunction. Common first-line options include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other treatments include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We provide confidential care for this treatable condition.

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

Most small kidney stones can pass on their own with increased fluids and pain management. For larger stones or those causing significant issues, Dr. Kasraeian can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to effectively break up or remove the stone.

What are urodynamics?

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