Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Joseph Esposito:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Esposito and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract and reproductive system in men and women. 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 may start earlier, around age 40-45. We will work with you to determine the best screening plan through a shared decision-making process with Dr. Esposito.

How is Low Testosterone (Low T) diagnosed and treated?

Diagnosis involves a simple morning blood test to measure testosterone levels. If levels are low and symptoms are present, Dr. Esposito can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapies, such as gels, injections, or pellets.

What is a vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a safe, simple, and highly effective form of permanent male contraception. It's a minor surgical procedure that blocks the tubes carrying sperm, often performed in the office, without affecting 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 fluids and pain management. For larger stones or those causing significant issues, Dr. Esposito can utilize minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to effectively remove the stone.

What are the most common signs of bladder cancer?

The most common and earliest sign of bladder cancer is blood in the urine (hematuria), which can be visible or microscopic. Other less common symptoms include frequent urination or pain during urination. Smoking is the single biggest risk factor for preventing bladder cancer.

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

Dr. Esposito and our team offer various effective treatments for erectile dysfunction. Common first-line options include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®, but other options such as vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants are also available. We provide confidential care and personalized treatment plans to address your specific needs.

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

Yes, a urologist is the ideal specialist for urinary leakage. Urologists are experts in both the male and female urinary tract. Dr. Esposito specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions ranging from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.
