A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Chester Wilmot 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:

• Erectile Dysfunction: Addressing erectile dysfunction promptly can improve your quality of life and prevent relationship difficulties associated with this condition.
• Overactive Bladder: Overactive bladder (OAB) means you need to urinate frequently and urgently, but catching it early through regular checkups can help prevent more serious problems down the line.
• Sexual Arousal Disorder: Addressing sexual arousal difficulties proactively is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship and overall well-being; seeking professional help can prevent long-term emotional distress.
• Male Infertility: Taking steps to prevent male infertility involves understanding risk factors like lifestyle choices and seeking medical attention for any concerns, allowing for timely intervention and potentially preserving fertility.
• End-Stage Renal Disease: End-stage renal disease means your kidneys have lost most of their function, but early detection of kidney problems and consistent treatment can often delay or prevent this from happening.
• Vesicoureteral Reflux: Preventing kidney infections and damage starts with understanding vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), a condition where urine backs up into the kidneys; regular checkups can help detect VUR early and prevent serious health issues.
• Prostatocystitis: Understanding your risk factors for prostatocystitis, such as age and certain medical conditions, allows for proactive steps to reduce your chances of developing this condition.
• Pyonephrosis: Pyonephrosis is a serious kidney infection where pus builds up, highlighting the importance of promptly addressing urinary tract infections to prevent severe complications.
• Urethral Stricture: Managing conditions like prostatitis and sexually transmitted infections can help prevent urethral scarring and the development of strictures, improving your overall urinary health.
• Urinary Tract Cancer: While some urinary tract cancers have genetic links, making proactive lifestyle modifications can help mitigate risk and prevent the development of this serious condition.
• Hydrocele: A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac around a testicle, and while often harmless, early detection through regular self-checks helps identify any potential complications that need attention.
• Pyelectasia: Though often asymptomatic, pyelectasia can sometimes indicate an underlying issue. Preventive screenings and monitoring allow for early detection and management of any associated problems.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

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

• 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.
• Excision of Testicular Lesion: Taking proactive steps for your reproductive health, an excision of a testicular lesion involves removing a suspicious area to determine if it's cancerous or not.
• Urinary Stone Removal (Litholapaxy): As part of your proactive urological care, litholapaxy can remove kidney stones, relieving discomfort and preserving kidney function.
• Bladder Surgery: Bladder surgery can be a proactive step to remove bladder tumors, potentially preventing the spread of cancer and improving your long-term health.
• Bladder Scan: Protecting yourself from urinary tract complications begins with a bladder scan; it's a non-invasive way to assess your bladder function and catch problems before they worsen.
• Prostate Cancer Screening: Prostate cancer screening helps detect prostate cancer early, when treatment is most effective.
• Prostatectomy with Robotic Assist: This advanced surgical technique, robotic-assisted prostatectomy, helps remove the prostate with greater precision and potentially less invasiveness than traditional methods, improving recovery times and outcomes.
• Complex Penile Surgery: Complex penile surgery may be necessary to correct structural problems affecting urination or sexual function, improving your long-term health and well-being.
• Prostate Removal: Prostate removal surgery is sometimes necessary to treat prostate cancer, helping prevent its spread and improve long-term health outcomes.
• Cystometry: Proactive bladder care is key! Cystometry helps identify conditions like overactive bladder or bladder weakness, allowing for prompt intervention and preventing more serious complications.
• Cystectomy: Taking proactive steps toward bladder health, a cystectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of your bladder to address severe issues and improve your overall well-being.
• Orchiopexy for Undescended Testicle: For optimal reproductive health, orchiopexy addresses undescended testicles, minimizing the likelihood of long-term complications like infertility and cancer.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Chester Wilmot:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Wilmot 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 start earlier, around age 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Wilmot.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

Preventing future kidney stones is key. Increasing your fluid intake, particularly water, is crucial. Dr. Wilmot may also recommend specific dietary changes or medications, depending on the type of stone, to help reduce the risk of recurrence.

What are the most common signs of bladder cancer?

The most common and earliest sign of bladder cancer is blood in the urine, 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 bladder cancer, so prevention is key.

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. Wilmot and our team offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

How is Low Testosterone (Low T) diagnosed and treated?

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple blood test, typically performed in the morning. If the results show low levels and you're experiencing symptoms, Dr. Wilmot can discuss safe and effective treatment options, including gels, injections, or pellets.

Can erectile dysfunction be a sign of another health problem?

Yes, erectile dysfunction (ED) can often be an early warning sign of underlying health problems, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes. A consultation with Dr. Wilmot is not just about treating ED, but also about proactively screening for other potential health issues.

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

Common signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI) include frequent or urgent urination, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. If you experience these symptoms, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Wilmot for diagnosis and treatment. Prompt treatment with antibiotics can prevent the infection from spreading to your kidneys.
