Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Fikret Onol:

What is a Urologist?

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

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 to detect these changes early. Early detection is key, as testicular cancer has a very high cure rate.

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. Onol's practice offers many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms it can cause.

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. A surgeon uses a console to control robotic arms with tiny instruments, making smaller incisions. This often leads to less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

What are urodynamics?

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

Do you treat children with urological problems?

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