Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Arnon Krongrad:

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. However, 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. Krongrad.

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. Krongrad'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, Dr. Arnon Krongrad, uses a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) to look directly inside your bladder and urethra. This allows us to check for issues such as bladder tumors, stones, or sources of bleeding. It's a quick, routine office procedure.

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

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

Preventing kidney stones is key. Increasing your fluid intake, especially water, is crucial. Dr. Krongrad may recommend specific dietary changes or medications, depending on the type of stone, to further reduce the risk of recurrence.

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. Krongrad can discuss safe and effective replacement therapies, including gels, injections, or pellets.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Krongrad and his team treat adult urological conditions. For pediatric urological concerns, such as bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary reflux, we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists.
