Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Kevin Campbell:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Campbell and our team are urologists, surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the reproductive system in men. We manage everything from kidney stones and UTIs 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 age 40-45. We encourage you to discuss your individual risk factors with Dr. Kevin Campbell to determine the best screening plan for you.

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.

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

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

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes leading to leakage. Dr. Campbell can discuss effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

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 prevention.

What is a cystoscopy?

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

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

Common UTI symptoms include a frequent or urgent need to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. If you experience these symptoms, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Campbell for proper diagnosis and treatment. Prompt antibiotic treatment can prevent the infection from spreading to your kidneys.
