Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Daniel Hoffman:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Hoffman 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. For higher-risk men, such as African American men or those with a family history, this conversation may begin earlier, around age 40-45. A personalized screening plan is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Hoffman.

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. Hoffman is not just about treating ED, but also a proactive step in a comprehensive health screening.

What is a cystoscopy?

A cystoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure where our urologist, Dr. Daniel Hoffman, 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.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Hoffman's practice focuses on adult urology, but we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists for children's urological issues such as bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary reflux.

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. Hoffman can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapy options, including gels, injections, or pellets.

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 may include frequent urination or pain during urination. Smoking is the single biggest risk factor for prevention.

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 issues, Dr. Hoffman can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to safely remove the stone.
