A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Billy Cordon provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Scrotal Pain: Preventing future issues with your reproductive system starts with paying attention to your body. If you have scrotal pain, see a doctor to determine the cause and receive appropriate care.
• Chronic Kidney Disease Stage III: Chronic Kidney Disease Stage III means your kidneys aren't working as well as they should, and proactive management now is crucial to prevent further damage and slow progression.
• Chronic Kidney Diseases: Protecting your kidneys from long-term damage is crucial; early detection of chronic kidney disease helps prevent progression to dialysis or kidney failure.
• Hydrocele: While not always requiring treatment, understanding what a hydrocele is and seeking medical advice if you experience symptoms enables early intervention to prevent potential issues down the line.
• Male Infertility: Male infertility, the inability to father a child, can be addressed through proactive health choices and early detection of underlying conditions, improving your chances of future parenthood.
• Chordee: Preventive care for boys includes checking for chordee, a penile curvature, as early diagnosis and treatment prevent long-term sexual and urinary problems.
• Horseshoe Kidney: A horseshoe kidney, where the kidneys are fused together, is a condition that may increase your risk of certain urinary tract complications, highlighting the importance of regular check-ups for early detection and preventive management.
• Overactive Bladder: Preventive care includes being aware of overactive bladder symptoms like frequent urination and accidents. Seeking medical attention helps avoid complications and preserves your quality of life.
• Undescended Testicles: Undescended testicles, where one or both testicles haven't moved into the scrotum before birth, should be checked early as it can increase the risk of infertility and testicular cancer later in life.
• Bladder Infection: Managing bladder infections promptly helps prevent complications like kidney infections and recurring infections, safeguarding your urinary health.
• Neurogenic Bladder: Since neurogenic bladder results from nerve damage affecting bladder emptying, managing any contributing neurological conditions through regular check-ups can help prevent complications like urinary tract infections and kidney problems.
• Kidney Infection: Kidney infections can often be avoided by practicing good hygiene, staying hydrated, and promptly treating any urinary tract infections to prevent them from spreading to your kidneys.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Billy Cordon offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Uroflowmetry: Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive screening tool that helps identify and potentially prevent serious urinary problems, allowing for timely intervention.
• Ureteroneocystostomy: To proactively protect your kidneys, ureteroneocystostomy reconstructs the connection between your kidney and bladder, ensuring urine drains effectively and reducing the risk of infections or damage.
• Ureteroneocystostomy with Robotic Assist: As a minimally invasive option for repairing a damaged or blocked ureter, robotic-assisted ureteroneocystostomy allows for precise surgical repair, reducing the risk of future complications and improving quality of life.
• Resection of Bladder Neck: To address urinary symptoms and prevent further complications, a bladder neck resection surgically improves the flow of urine from your bladder.
• Prostate Cancer Screening: Early detection saves lives: get screened for prostate cancer to catch it early and increase your chances of a positive outcome.
• Penile Implants: For men experiencing erectile dysfunction, a penile implant can be a proactive step to restore sexual function and intimacy.
• Augmentation Cystoplasty: As a proactive step in managing severe bladder dysfunction, augmentation cystoplasty reconstructs the bladder to increase its size and help alleviate symptoms like frequent urination and incontinence.
• Prostate Biopsy: A prostate biopsy is a valuable diagnostic tool used to assess suspicious areas in the prostate gland, aiding in the early diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
• Cystotomy: To proactively manage bladder issues, a cystotomy might be performed to directly examine the bladder, helping to identify problems early and prevent further damage.
• Lithotripsy: Protecting your urinary tract health starts with proactive measures; lithotripsy can effectively shatter kidney stones, relieving pain and preventing further damage.
• Complex Penile Surgery: Addressing penile issues through complex surgery ensures early intervention for conditions that may affect your urinary or reproductive health, preventing irreversible damage.
• Prostate Removal: As a proactive measure against advanced prostate disease, prostate removal surgery may be considered to eliminate cancerous tissue and improve the chances of recovery.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Billy Cordon:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Cordon 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 a shared one, and {Dr. Billy Cordon} will help you determine the best approach for your individual situation.

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. Cordon's practice offers many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms it can cause.

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. Cordon can discuss safe and effective replacement therapy options like gels, injections, or pellets.

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

Dr. Cordon and our team offer various effective treatments for erectile dysfunction. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss these options confidentially and tailor a treatment plan to your needs.

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. Cordon may recommend specific dietary changes or medications, depending on the type of stone, to further reduce the risk of recurrence.

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

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

What is a varicocele and how does it affect fertility?

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, similar to a varicose vein in the leg. It can raise the temperature in the testicles, potentially impairing sperm production, and is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.
