Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Charles Lynne:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Lynne and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the reproductive system in men. 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 start earlier, around age 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Charles Lynne.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

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

What is robotic surgery, and what are its benefits?

Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is a minimally invasive technique where a surgeon uses a console to control robotic arms with tiny instruments. This approach results in smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

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

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

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

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

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Lynne's practice treats adult urological conditions. We can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists for children's urological concerns, including bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary reflux.
