• Acute Cystitis: Acute cystitis, or a bladder infection, is a painful condition that highlights the importance of staying well-hydrated and practicing good hygiene to prevent recurring infections and potential kidney complications.

• Bladder Cancer: While you can't always prevent bladder cancer, proactive steps like knowing your family history and getting regular check-ups can dramatically improve your chances of early detection and successful treatment.
• Urinary Incontinence: Urinary incontinence, or accidental urine leakage, can be managed effectively through proactive lifestyle changes and early medical intervention, preventing more serious health issues down the line.

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

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Randolph 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 is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Randolph.

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 approach results in smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

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

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. Randolph can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapy options, such as gels, injections, or pellets.

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

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