A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. John Greene 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:

• Urinary Stones: Understanding your family history and personal risk factors for urinary stones allows for proactive strategies to minimize your chances of developing painful and potentially harmful stone formation.
• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Managing a UTI promptly with the right treatment helps prevent it from recurring and potentially causing more significant damage to your urinary system.
• Chronic Kidney Infection: Preventing long-term kidney damage requires early detection and treatment of kidney infections; addressing infections promptly can stop them from becoming chronic.
• Prostatitis: Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland, and catching it early through regular checkups can help prevent serious long-term complications.
• Prostate Stones: Early detection of prostate stones is crucial because, while many men experience no symptoms, they can lead to urinary tract infections and other issues. Routine screenings with your doctor are key to preventing such complications.
• Kidney Cancer: Early detection of kidney cancer through regular checkups and screenings significantly improves treatment outcomes and survival rates.
• Chronic Kidney Diseases: Managing conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes can significantly reduce your risk of developing chronic kidney disease and its life-altering complications.
• Bladder Cancer: Managing bladder cancer effectively often depends on early diagnosis, so staying informed about risk factors and seeking medical advice when needed is crucial.
• Chronic Kidney Disease Stage I: Even though Chronic Kidney Disease Stage I is a mild stage of kidney disease, proactive management such as diet and medication can prevent further damage and serious health problems down the line.
• Hydrocele: Preventive care includes being aware of the signs of a hydrocele, such as swelling in the scrotum, which helps ensure prompt treatment and minimizes the risk of complications.
• Nighttime Urination (Nocturia): Frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom could indicate a need for medical attention, making preventative care crucial for your urinary health.
• Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV: Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV is a severe stage where kidney function is greatly impaired; regular check-ups and adherence to your treatment plan are vital to prevent further damage and maintain your overall health.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. John Greene:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Greene 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. 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 decision is a shared one between you and Dr. John Greene.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder is a common condition characterized by a sudden, frequent, and urgent need to urinate, sometimes with leakage. Dr. Greene can discuss many effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

What is a cystoscopy?

A cystoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure where our urologist, Dr. John Greene, uses a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) to look directly inside your bladder and urethra. This allows us to check for issues like bladder tumors, stones, or sources of bleeding. It's a quick, routine office procedure.

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. Importantly, it does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

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

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

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. John Greene is an important step in a proactive, overall health screening, not just a way to treat the ED.

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

Dr. Greene's practice offers many effective modern treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). Common first-line treatments include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss these options confidentially and determine the best course of action for you.
