• Urethral Stricture: Protecting yourself from urethral injury during medical procedures or trauma is essential preventive care to reduce the risk of developing a urethral stricture.
• 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.
• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) starts with understanding your risk factors and practicing good hygiene to avoid complications like kidney infections.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Jorge Pereira:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Pereira is a urologist, a surgical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system. They manage a wide range of issues, including kidney stones, urinary tract infections, 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, such as African American men or those with a family history, this conversation should start earlier, around age 40-45. This decision is best made in a shared discussion with Dr. Pereira.

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. Regular monthly self-exams are crucial for early detection, as early diagnosis is key to the very high cure rate for this cancer.

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.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Pereira's practice treats adult urological conditions. However, we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists for children's urological concerns, including bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary reflux.

What is a cystoscopy?

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

What is BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), and is it related to cancer?

BPH is a very common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that occurs as men age. It is not prostate cancer and does not increase the risk of developing it. Dr. Pereira's practice offers many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

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