Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Barrett McCormick:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Barrett McCormick and our team of urologists 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. 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 consultation with Dr. Barrett McCormick, as part of a shared decision-making process.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes difficult to control, which may lead to leakage. It's a common condition, and Dr. Barrett McCormick can offer many effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

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

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

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 is a cystoscopy?

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

I am a woman experiencing urinary leakage. Should I see a Urologist?

Yes, a urologist can help. Urologists are experts in both the male and female urinary tract. Dr. Barrett McCormick specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

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.
