Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Benjamin Dalkin:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Dalkin and his team are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in 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 a shared one between you and Dr. Dalkin.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Dalkin and his team at our practice treat adult urological conditions. We can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists for children with issues like bedwetting, undescended testicles, or urinary reflux.

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

Most small kidney stones can pass on their own with increased fluid intake and pain management. For larger stones or those causing severe pain or blockage, Dr. Dalkin can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to break up or remove the stone.

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. Early detection through monthly self-exams is crucial, as this type of cancer has a very high cure rate when found early.

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

What is a cystoscopy?

A cystoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure where our urologist, Dr. Dalkin, uses a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) to look directly inside your bladder and urethra. This allows us 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 is the right specialist for urinary leakage. Urologists are experts in both the male and female urinary tract. Dr. Dalkin specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions ranging from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.
