A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. David Burday 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:

• Phimosis: Preventing complications associated with phimosis, such as painful urination or infections, is possible through routine checkups and early intervention.

• Penile Cancer: Penile cancer is a serious but treatable disease when detected early, highlighting the importance of regular self-exams and checkups with your doctor for prevention and early intervention.
• Vesicoureteral Reflux: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a condition where urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys, increasing your risk of UTIs and kidney damage—early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing long-term complications.
• Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis: Managing chronic bacterial prostatitis effectively through proper medication and lifestyle changes prevents further complications like recurring infections and potential damage to the prostate.
• Male Sexual Arousal Disorders: Preventive steps, like open communication with your doctor about sexual health concerns, can help manage male sexual arousal disorders and improve intimacy.
• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Regular check-ups and open communication with your doctor are essential for managing UTIs and preventing future occurrences, especially if you have a history of UTIs.
• Horseshoe Kidney: Having a horseshoe kidney means your kidneys are joined, potentially affecting their function and increasing your risk of infections; proactive monitoring and care can help prevent serious problems.
• Hydronephrosis: Hydronephrosis is a condition where urine backs up and causes swelling in your kidney, and early detection through regular checkups can prevent serious kidney damage.
• Balanitis: Managing balanitis effectively involves maintaining good hygiene and promptly treating any infection to prevent long-term issues and potential spread to other areas.
• Chronic Cystitis: Chronic cystitis is a persistent bladder infection that, if left untreated, can lead to more serious complications, highlighting the importance of early detection and ongoing management for preventing long-term health issues.
• Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD): Managing ADPKD involves regular monitoring of kidney function and blood pressure to prevent or delay kidney failure, ensuring a better quality of life.

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

• 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.
• Complete Nephrectomy With Robotic Assistance: This advanced surgical technique, robotic-assisted complete nephrectomy, facilitates the complete removal of a kidney, often used to treat kidney cancer or other serious kidney conditions.
• 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.
• Uroflowmetry: Early detection of urinary tract issues is key, and a quick uroflowmetry test can provide valuable insights to help you manage your bladder and prostate health.
• Orchiectomy: To proactively manage advanced prostate cancer or reduce the risk of it spreading, an orchiectomy may be recommended to lower testosterone levels.
• Prostate Cancer Screening Exam (DRE): Early detection is key to successful prostate cancer treatment, and a DRE is a crucial tool for identifying potential issues before they become serious.
• Lithotripsy: Taking charge of your kidney health involves understanding treatment options like lithotripsy, a procedure that painlessly removes kidney stones to prevent recurring issues.
• Prostate Biopsy: Taking a proactive step towards better health, a prostate biopsy involves a small tissue sample taken from the prostate gland to screen for cancerous cells.
• TURP (Transurethral Resection of Prostate) or Laser Destruction of Prostate: TURP and laser prostate surgery are options to proactively address an enlarged prostate, relieving urinary symptoms and improving quality of life.
• Prostatectomy with Robotic Assist: As part of a comprehensive cancer management plan, robotic-assisted prostatectomy may be recommended to remove a cancerous prostate and reduce the risk of the cancer spreading.
• Complex Penile Surgery: Taking proactive steps with complex penile surgery can address underlying conditions leading to improved urinary and sexual health, preventing future complications.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. David Burday:

What is a Urologist?

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

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

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

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

What are the treatment options for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Dr. Burday and our team offer many effective, modern treatments for ED. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We understand this is a sensitive matter and are happy to discuss your options confidentially.

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. Burday is an important step in a proactive, overall health screening, not just to treat the ED.

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

Diagnosis involves a simple blood test, typically performed in the morning, to measure testosterone levels. If levels are low and symptoms are present, Dr. Burday can discuss safe and effective treatment options, such as gels, injections, or pellets.

What is a cystoscopy?

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