Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Eric Pachter:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Pachter and his team are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system. They 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 discussion should ideally start earlier, around age 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Pachter.

What are urodynamics?

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

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 done in the office, that blocks the tubes carrying sperm. It does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

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.

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. Pachter is not just about treating ED, but also a crucial step in proactively assessing your overall health.

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 prevention.

What is robotic surgery, and what are its benefits?

Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is a minimally invasive technique where the 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.
