A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Edgar Sandoval 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:

• Chronic Cystitis: Managing chronic cystitis effectively through lifestyle changes and medical intervention is crucial to preventing its progression and improving your overall quality of life.

• Erectile Dysfunction: Preventing erectile dysfunction often involves managing conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes, which improves cardiovascular health and reduces ED risk.
• Prostatitis: Managing prostatitis effectively, often through lifestyle changes and medication, is crucial for preventing chronic pain and urinary issues.
• Urinary Stones: Understanding your family history and personal risk factors for urinary stones allows for proactive strategies to minimize your chances of developing painful and potentially harmful stone formation.
• 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.
• Bladder Carcinoma: Early detection is crucial for successful bladder cancer treatment, so understanding your risk factors and seeking medical attention if you experience symptoms can save lives.
• Phimosis: Early detection and management of phimosis can significantly improve long-term urinary and reproductive health, particularly in males.
• Testicular Cancer: By being informed about testicular cancer and participating in preventive screenings, you can protect your reproductive health and well-being.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

• Prostatectomy with Robotic Assist: For men facing prostate issues, robotic-assisted prostatectomy offers a minimally invasive surgical option to address an enlarged or cancerous prostate, helping to restore urinary and reproductive health.
• Resection of Bladder Neck: As a proactive measure, a bladder neck resection can help resolve underlying issues contributing to urinary problems, improving your overall well-being.
• Prostate Cancer Screening Exam (DRE): Take charge of your prostate health with a DRE; this simple exam can identify potential problems early on, potentially saving your life.
• Incomplete Circumcision Repair: This procedure corrects an incomplete circumcision, reducing the chance of long-term complications and improving hygiene.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Edgar Sandoval:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Sandoval 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 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 may start earlier, around age 40-45. This decision is best made in consultation with Dr. Sandoval, as part of a shared decision-making process.

What is robotic surgery, and what are its benefits?

Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is a minimally invasive technique where a surgeon uses a console to control robotic arms with tiny instruments. This results in smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

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

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple blood test, typically taken in the morning. If your levels are low and you are experiencing symptoms, Dr. Sandoval can discuss safe and effective treatment options, including gels, injections, or pellets.

What are urodynamics?

Urodynamic testing is a series of tests evaluating how well the bladder and urethra store and release urine. Dr. Sandoval uses these tests to 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. Sandoval and our team treat a wide range of adult urological conditions. We can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists for children with issues such as bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary reflux.

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. Sandoval 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. Sandoval and our team offer a range of effective treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, or penile implants. We understand this is a sensitive issue and can manage your care with confidentiality and respect.
