Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Eliecer Kurzer:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Kurzer and our team are urologists, 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 start earlier, around age 40-45. We believe in a shared decision-making process with Dr. Kurzer to determine the best approach for you.

I have been diagnosed with a kidney stone. Will I need surgery?

Most small kidney stones can be passed naturally with increased fluids and pain management. For larger stones or those causing significant issues, Dr. Kurzer can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to remove them.

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. Regular monthly self-exams are crucial for early detection, as early diagnosis is key to the very high cure rate for this cancer.

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

Dr. Kurzer and our team offer many effective modern treatments for ED. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss these options confidentially and tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs.

What are urodynamics?

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

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 may include frequent urination or pain during urination. Smoking is the single biggest risk factor for prevention.

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