A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Doron Stember 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:

• Paraphimosis: Understanding how to care for your foreskin is key to preventing paraphimosis, a condition that can quickly lead to serious complications if left untreated.
• Hydronephrosis: Hydronephrosis, a swelling of the kidney due to urine blockage, highlights the importance of proactive healthcare. Addressing underlying causes and seeking timely treatment prevents permanent kidney damage.
• Blood in Urine (Hematuria): Protecting your urinary tract health starts with awareness; if you see blood in your urine, seek medical attention to rule out anything serious and prevent complications.
• Priapism: Understanding the risk factors for priapism, such as sickle cell disease or certain medications, is crucial for proactive health management and preventing this painful condition.
• Hypospadias: Hypospadias, a birth defect affecting the urethra's opening, requires early diagnosis to prevent later complications like urinary tract infections and difficulties with urination.
• Urinary Incontinence: Managing urinary incontinence through preventative strategies, like healthy weight management and bladder training, can significantly improve your comfort and independence.
• Undescended Testicles: To safeguard your child's reproductive health, ensure any undescended testicles are evaluated promptly by a doctor; early intervention minimizes future health risks.
• Urinary Retention: Urinary retention means you can't empty your bladder completely, and preventing this through healthy habits and prompt medical attention protects your kidneys and bladder from damage.
• Chronic Prostatitis: Chronic prostatitis, while often manageable, can severely affect quality of life if neglected. Regular checkups and adherence to treatment plans are vital for prevention of worsening symptoms and complications.
• Kidney Stones: Preventing kidney stones involves understanding your risk factors, such as diet and hydration, to reduce your chances of developing them and needing painful treatment.
• Sexual Arousal Disorder: Preventive healthcare includes addressing sexual concerns; discussing any challenges with arousal with your doctor can facilitate early diagnosis and treatment, improving your sexual health.
• Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis: Chronic bacterial prostatitis is a persistent infection of the prostate gland that, if left untreated, can lead to serious complications, highlighting the importance of regular checkups and prompt medical attention for urinary symptoms.

• Bladder Surgery: Bladder surgery can be a proactive step to remove bladder tumors, potentially preventing the spread of cancer and improving your long-term health.
• Orchiopexy for Undescended Testicle: Protecting your future, orchiopexy ensures your testicles are in their proper place, significantly lowering the risk of infertility and a specific type of testicular cancer.
• Orchiectomy: For some men with specific genetic predispositions to testicular cancer, a preventative orchiectomy is an option to greatly reduce their risk.
• Incomplete Circumcision Repair: Proactive repair of an incomplete circumcision helps maintain proper penile hygiene and prevents potential urinary tract infections.
• Destruction of Penile Lesion: Addressing penile lesions through this procedure helps minimize the risk of infection and promotes optimal penile health.
• Prostate Cancer Screening: Prostate cancer screening helps detect prostate cancer early, when treatment is most effective.
• Prostate Cancer Screening Exam (DRE): Don't wait for symptoms; a DRE is a straightforward exam that helps screen for prostate cancer, giving you peace of mind and early intervention options.

• 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.
• Varicocelectomy or Hydrocelectomy: For men experiencing pain or infertility concerns related to testicular veins or fluid buildup, a varicocelectomy or hydrocelectomy may be a beneficial preventative measure.
• Bladder Function Test: A bladder function test helps assess how well your bladder stores and releases urine, allowing for early detection and management of potential problems.
• 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Doron Stember:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Stember 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. 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 with Dr. Stember.

What are the most common signs of bladder cancer?

The most common and earliest sign of bladder cancer is blood in the urine (hematuria), which can be visible or microscopic. Other less common symptoms include frequent urination or pain during urination. Smoking is the single biggest risk factor for prevention.

What are urodynamics?

Urodynamic testing is a series of tests evaluating how well the bladder and urethra store and release urine. These tests help Dr. Stember understand the precise cause of complex issues like incontinence or difficulty urinating, leading to a more effective treatment plan.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Stember and his team at the practice treat adult urological conditions. For pediatric urology concerns such as bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary reflux, we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists.

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

Dr. Stember and our team offer many effective, modern treatments for erectile dysfunction. Oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis® are a common first step, but other options such as vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants are also available. We can discuss these options confidentially and determine the best course of action for you.

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

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