• Phimosis: Addressing phimosis through proper hygiene and medical attention, if needed, helps reduce the risk of urinary tract infections and other infections.
• Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Early diagnosis and treatment of STDs can significantly reduce the risk of permanent damage to your urinary tract and reproductive system.
• Balanitis: Catching balanitis early can prevent complications like scarring or recurring infections, so be sure to see a doctor if you notice any redness, swelling, or pain on your penis.
• Urethra Cancer: While uncommon, urethra cancer can be managed more effectively with early detection, highlighting the importance of seeking medical attention for any concerning urinary symptoms.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Janet Colli:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Colli 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. For higher-risk men, such as African American men or those with a family history, this discussion may start earlier, around age 40-45. We encourage a shared decision-making process with Dr. Colli to determine the best screening plan for you.

What is a varicocele and how does it affect fertility?

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins in the scrotum, similar to a varicose vein in the leg. It can raise the temperature in the testicles, potentially impairing sperm production, and is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.

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

Dr. Colli and our team offer many effective treatments for ED. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss the best approach for you in a confidential setting.

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

Most small kidney stones pass naturally with increased fluid intake and pain management. For larger stones or those causing significant issues, Dr. Colli can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to effectively break up or remove the stone.

What is a vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a safe, simple, and highly effective form of permanent male contraception. It's a minor surgical procedure, often done in the office, that blocks the tubes carrying sperm. This procedure does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

What are urodynamics?

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

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

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