A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Eric Regele 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:

• Hydronephrosis: Managing conditions that can lead to hydronephrosis, such as kidney stones or prostate enlargement, is crucial for preventing this painful and potentially harmful swelling of the kidney.
• Bladder Infection: Managing bladder infections promptly helps prevent complications like kidney infections and recurring infections, safeguarding your urinary health.
• Blood in Urine (Hematuria): Regular check-ups and prompt attention to urinary symptoms like blood in your urine can significantly reduce the risk of developing more severe urological problems.
• Urinary Retention: Urinary retention means you can't empty your bladder completely, and preventing this through healthy habits and prompt medical attention protects your kidneys and bladder from damage.
• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Early detection of a UTI is crucial for preventing serious long-term health problems, so don't hesitate to contact your doctor if you experience symptoms.
• Kidney Cancer: Regular monitoring for kidney cancer, especially if you have a family history, can help catch the disease in its early, more treatable stages.
• Erectile Dysfunction: Addressing erectile dysfunction promptly can improve your quality of life and prevent relationship difficulties associated with this condition.
• Urge Incontinence: Urge incontinence is a type of bladder control problem where you have a sudden, strong urge to urinate that's difficult to delay, and early detection can help manage it before it significantly impacts your life.
• Urinary Incontinence: Managing urinary incontinence through preventative strategies, like healthy weight management and bladder training, can significantly improve your comfort and independence.
• Chronic Kidney Disease Stage III: Chronic Kidney Disease Stage III signifies a decline in kidney function, emphasizing the need for preventive strategies like managing blood pressure and diabetes to protect your kidneys.
• Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV: Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV is a severe stage where kidney function is greatly impaired; regular check-ups and adherence to your treatment plan are vital to prevent further damage and maintain your overall health.
• Prostate Cancer: Early detection of prostate cancer through screenings significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and a better prognosis.

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

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Regele 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 everything 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 should ideally start earlier, around age 40-45. This decision is a shared one between you and Dr. Regele.

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

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

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

Preventing future kidney stones is key. Increasing fluid intake, especially water, is crucial. Dr. Regele may also recommend specific dietary changes or medications, depending on the type of stone, to minimize recurrence risk.

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

Dr. Regele and our team offer many effective modern treatments for Erectile Dysfunction. 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 determine the best approach for you.

What is a cystoscopy?

A cystoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure where our urologist, Dr. Regele, uses a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) to view the inside of your bladder and urethra. This allows us to check for issues like bladder tumors, stones, or sources of bleeding. It's a quick, routine office procedure.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes leading to leakage. Dr. Regele and his team can help with effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.
