A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Hugo Davila 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:

• Testicular Cancer: By being informed about testicular cancer and participating in preventive screenings, you can protect your reproductive health and well-being.
• Urge Incontinence: Managing urge incontinence through preventive strategies like pelvic floor exercises and bladder retraining can reduce the risk of more serious urinary tract issues.
• Horseshoe Kidney: Early detection of any kidney-related issues, especially if you have a horseshoe kidney, can prevent future complications. Regular check-ups and open communication with your doctor are vital.
• Penile Cancer: Regular screenings and awareness of risk factors, such as smoking and uncircumcision, can help prevent the development or facilitate early detection of penile cancer.
• Bladder Carcinoma: Bladder cancer, while serious, is more treatable when detected early, highlighting the importance of regular checkups and understanding your risk factors.
• Gonococcal Seminal Vesiculitis: Regular sexual health checkups, including STI screenings, are vital for preventing gonococcal seminal vesiculitis, a painful and potentially fertility-compromising infection.
• Genitourinary Tract Hemorrhage: Understanding your risk factors and seeking medical advice at the first sign of blood in your urine or genital secretions is key to preventing further complications from genitourinary hemorrhage.
• Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Protecting yourself from STDs through safe sex practices and regular checkups is a vital step in maintaining your overall reproductive and urinary health.
• Kidney Cancer: Early detection of kidney cancer through regular checkups and screenings significantly improves treatment outcomes and survival rates.
• Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV: Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV means your kidneys are significantly damaged and not filtering waste effectively, highlighting the importance of early detection and managing risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes to slow progression and prevent further complications.
• Hypogonadism: Addressing hypogonadism through lifestyle changes and, when necessary, medical intervention, can help prevent or lessen the impact of its long-term effects on your health.
• Scrotal Pain: Don't ignore scrotal pain; addressing it early can help prevent long-term damage and preserve your reproductive health.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Hugo Davila offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Prostate Cancer Screening: Protecting your future: a prostate cancer screening helps find early signs of cancer, leading to more successful treatment.
• Orchiectomy: For some men with specific genetic predispositions to testicular cancer, a preventative orchiectomy is an option to greatly reduce their risk.
• Ureteroneocystostomy with Robotic Assist: Taking proactive steps to improve urinary tract health, ureteroneocystostomy with robotic assist is a surgical procedure to restore the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder, preventing further damage and improving kidney function.
• Orchiopexy for Undescended Testicle: Protecting your future, orchiopexy ensures your testicles are in their proper place, significantly lowering the risk of infertility and a specific type of testicular cancer.
• Urinary Stone Removal (Litholapaxy): Take control of your urinary health: litholapaxy effectively eliminates kidney stones, reducing the risk of infections and blockages.
• Bladder Stimulator Implant: A bladder stimulator implant is a proactive step to manage overactive bladder symptoms and improve your quality of life by helping your bladder empty more efficiently.
• No-Scalpel Vasectomy: For permanent birth control, a no-scalpel vasectomy provides a less invasive surgical option, minimizing discomfort and recovery time while ensuring effective contraception.
• Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy or Pyelostolithotomy: If you're experiencing persistent kidney stone issues, percutaneous nephrolithotomy or pyelostolithotomy can help remove them, improving your kidney health and preventing future blockages.
• Lithotripsy: Taking charge of your kidney health involves understanding treatment options like lithotripsy, a procedure that painlessly removes kidney stones to prevent recurring issues.
• Augmentation Cystoplasty: If you experience frequent urinary tract infections or have a neurogenic bladder, augmentation cystoplasty might be suggested to improve your bladder's ability to store and empty urine effectively.
• Prostatectomy with Robotic Assist: As part of a comprehensive cancer management plan, robotic-assisted prostatectomy may be recommended to remove a cancerous prostate and reduce the risk of the cancer spreading.
• Uroflowmetry: Protecting your urinary system starts with proactive steps like uroflowmetry, a painless test that helps diagnose conditions impacting your bladder and urine flow.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Hugo Davila:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Davila and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as 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 may begin earlier, around age 40-45. This decision is a shared one, and Dr. Davila will help you determine the best screening plan for you.

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

Most small kidney stones can be passed with increased fluid intake and pain management. For larger stones or those causing blockage, Dr. Davila can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy.

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

Dr. Davila and our team offer many effective treatments for Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss all these options with you confidentially.

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, which can impair sperm production. This is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.

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

Diagnosis involves a simple morning blood test to measure testosterone levels. If levels are low and symptoms are present, Dr. Davila can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapies, like gels, injections, or pellets.

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, resulting in smaller incisions, 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. Dr. Davila uses this information to understand the precise cause of issues like incontinence or difficulty urinating, leading to a more effective treatment plan.
