Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. E Grieco:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. E. Grieco 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 UTIs 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 decision is best made in a shared discussion with Dr. Grieco.

What are urodynamics?

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

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 are the treatment options for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Dr. E. Grieco's practice offers many effective treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss the best approach for you in a confidential setting.

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. Grieco and our team offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms it can cause.

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 bladder cancer prevention.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Grieco and his team treat adult urological conditions. For pediatric urology needs, we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists.
