Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Anthony Arciola:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Arciola and our urology team 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. 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. Arciola.

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

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

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. Arciola and our team offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms it can cause.

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. Arciola is not just about treating ED, but also an important step in a proactive, overall health screening.

What is a vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a safe, simple, and highly effective form of permanent male contraception. It's a minor surgical procedure, often done in the office, that blocks the tubes carrying sperm. This procedure does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

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. Arciola can discuss safe and effective treatment options, including 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 preventing bladder cancer.
