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

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Martinez and our team are urologists, 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. We encourage a shared decision-making process with Dr. Martinez to determine the best course of action for your individual situation.

What are urodynamics?

Urodynamic testing is a series of tests that evaluate how well the bladder and urethra are storing and releasing urine. It helps Dr. Martinez understand the precise cause of complex issues like incontinence or difficulty urinating, leading to a more effective treatment plan.

What is a vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a safe, simple, and highly effective form of permanent male contraception. It's a minor surgical procedure, often done in the office, that blocks the tubes carrying sperm. This procedure does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

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 results in smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

What is a cystoscopy?

A cystoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure where a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) is used to look directly inside your bladder and urethra. This allows your urologist, Dr. Martinez, to check for issues like bladder tumors, stones, or sources of bleeding. It's a quick, routine office procedure.

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 type of cancer.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Martinez'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.
