Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Ali Mouzannar:

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 is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Mouzannar.

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 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. Mouzannar's practice offers many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

What is a cystoscopy?

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

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

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

Dr. Mouzannar and our team offer many effective, modern treatments for erectile dysfunction. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss these options with you confidentially and determine the best course of treatment.

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

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