Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Elizabeth Roger:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Roger is a surgical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system. She manages 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 begin earlier, around age 40-45. We will work with you to determine the best screening plan through shared decision-making with Dr. Roger.

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

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple blood test, typically taken in the morning. If the results indicate low levels and symptoms are present, Dr. Roger can discuss safe and effective treatment options, such as gels, injections, or pellets.

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, impairing sperm production, and is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.

What is a vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a safe, simple, and highly effective form of permanent male contraception. It's a minor surgical procedure, often performed in the office, that blocks the tubes carrying sperm. Importantly, it does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

I am a woman experiencing urinary leakage. Should I see a Urologist?

Yes, a urologist is an excellent choice. Urologists are experts in both the male and female urinary tracts. Dr. Elizabeth Roger specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions ranging from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

What is a cystoscopy?

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

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. Roger offers many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.
