Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Joshua Green:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Green 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 conversation may begin earlier, around age 40-45. This decision will be made in a shared discussion with Dr. Green.

What is a cystoscopy?

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

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. Green can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to effectively remove the stone.

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. Green's practice offers many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

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

Yes, a urologist can help. Urologists are experts in both the male and female urinary tract. Dr. Green specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

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

Common UTI symptoms include frequent or urgent urination, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. See Dr. Green for diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics to prevent potential kidney infection.

What is a varicocele and how does it affect fertility?

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