Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Jean-Paul Tran:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Tran and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions affecting 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 ideally start earlier, around age 40-45. This decision is best made in consultation with Dr. Tran.

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. Jean-Paul Tran is not just about treating ED, but also an important step in a proactive, overall health screening.

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

Dr. Tran's practice offers many effective, modern treatments for erectile dysfunction. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options, such as vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants, may also be considered. We understand this is a sensitive issue and are here to help manage it confidentially.

What is robotic surgery, and what are its benefits?

Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is a minimally invasive technique where a surgeon uses a console to control robotic arms with tiny instruments. This results in smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes difficult to control, and potentially leading to leakage. Dr. Jean-Paul Tran can offer many effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

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

Most small kidney stones can pass on their own with increased fluids and pain management. However, for larger stones or those causing severe pain or blockage, Dr. Tran can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to break up or remove the stone.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

Preventing future kidney stones is key. Increasing your fluid intake, particularly water, is crucial. Dr. Tran may recommend specific dietary changes or medications, depending on the type of stone, to lower your risk of recurrence.
