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

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Strong and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as 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 ideally start earlier, around age 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process between you and Dr. Strong.

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 cancer.

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. Strong's practice offers many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

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

Common UTI symptoms include a frequent or urgent need to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. See Dr. Strong for diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics to prevent kidney infection.

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. Strong can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapies, such as gels, injections, or pellets.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition marked by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes leading to leakage. It's a common issue, and Dr. Strong can discuss effective treatments, including behavioral changes, medications, and advanced therapies.

What is a cystoscopy?

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