Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Eileen Toolin:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Toolin and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in 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. For higher-risk men, such as African American men or those with a family history, this conversation should ideally start earlier, around 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Toolin.

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. Toolin and her team offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

What is a cystoscopy?

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

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. Toolin is not just about treating ED, but also an important step in a proactive, overall health screening.

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

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

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Toolin and her team treat children with urological issues, including bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary reflux.

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 young men, as early detection is key to the very high cure rate for this cancer.
