Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. James Burt:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Burt 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 a wide range of issues, including kidney stones, UTIs, and 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 (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. Burt.

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

Dr. Burt and our team offer various effective treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). Common first-line options include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other treatments include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We provide confidential care and discuss the best approach for your specific needs.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition characterized by a sudden, frequent, and urgent need to urinate, which can be difficult to control and may lead to leakage. Dr. Burt can offer many effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

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. If you experience these symptoms, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Burt for diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential kidney infection.

I am a woman experiencing urinary leakage. Should I see a Urologist?

Yes, a urologist can help. Urologists are experts in both the male and female urinary tract. Dr. Burt specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

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. James Burt is not just about treating ED, but also an important step in a proactive, overall health screening.
