Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Amanda Kahn:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Kahn is a urologist, a surgical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the reproductive system in men. This includes everything 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 may start earlier, around age 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Kahn.

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. Kahn and our team offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

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

Most small kidney stones pass naturally with increased fluid intake and pain management. For larger stones or those causing significant issues, Dr. Kahn can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to effectively remove them.

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, making smaller incisions. This leads to less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

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

Dr. Kahn and our team offer various effective treatments for erectile dysfunction. Common first-line options include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options such as vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants are also available. We'll work with you to determine the best approach for your specific needs in a confidential and comfortable setting.

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. Kahn can discuss safe and effective replacement therapies, such as gels, injections, or pellets.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

Preventing future kidney stones is key. Increasing your fluid intake, especially water, is the most important step. Dr. Kahn may also recommend specific dietary changes or medications to reduce your risk of recurrence, depending on the type of stone.
