• Complex Penile Surgery: Complex penile surgery may be necessary to correct structural problems affecting urination or sexual function, improving your long-term health and well-being.
• Uroflowmetry: Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive screening tool that helps identify and potentially prevent serious urinary problems, allowing for timely intervention.

• Prostate Cancer Screening: Prostate cancer screening helps detect prostate cancer early, when treatment is most effective.

• TURP (Transurethral Resection of Prostate) or Laser Destruction of Prostate: To prevent urinary tract complications from an enlarged prostate, consider TURP or laser prostate surgery as a minimally invasive treatment option.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Juan Lopez:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Lopez 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 everything 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 ideally start earlier, around 40-45. This decision is best made in a shared discussion with Dr. Lopez.

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 pain or blockage, Dr. Lopez can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to break up or remove the stone.

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

Dr. Lopez and our team offer many effective treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss the best approach for you in a confidential setting.

What are the most common signs of bladder cancer?

The most common and earliest sign of bladder cancer is blood in the urine, 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 prevention.

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

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

Common signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI) include a frequent or urgent need to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. See Dr. Lopez for proper diagnosis and antibiotic treatment to prevent potential kidney infection.

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. Lopez can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapies, such as gels, injections, or pellets.
