Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Jaimin Shah:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Shah and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the reproductive system in men. 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 start earlier, around age 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Jaimin Shah.

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

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

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

Preventing kidney stones is crucial. Increasing your fluid intake, particularly water, is paramount. Dr. Shah may also recommend specific dietary changes or medications, tailored to the type of stone, to minimize future occurrences.

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 tract, and Dr. Jaimin Shah specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions ranging from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

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

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple blood test, typically performed in the morning. If the results show low levels and you have symptoms, Dr. Shah can discuss safe and effective treatment options, such as gels, injections, or pellets.

What is a cystoscopy?

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

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, as early detection is key to the very high cure rate for this cancer.
