Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Darren Bruck:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Bruck 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 between you and Dr. Bruck.

I am a woman experiencing urinary leakage. Should I see a Urologist?

Yes, a urologist is the ideal specialist for urinary leakage. Urologists are experts in both the male and female urinary tract. Dr. Bruck specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering a range of solutions from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Bruck and our team at the practice focus on adult urology. We can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists for children's urological concerns, such as bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary reflux.

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. Bruck is not just about treating ED, but also an important step in a proactive, overall health screening.

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, which can impair sperm production, and is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.

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 the bladder and urethra. This allows your urologist to check for issues such as bladder tumors, stones, or sources of bleeding. It's a quick, routine office procedure.

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