Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Khaled Refaai:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Refaai and our team are urologists, surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as 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 ideally start earlier, around age 40-45. We encourage a shared decision-making process with Dr. Refaai to determine the best course of action for you.

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

Dr. Refaai and our team offer many effective, modern treatments for Erectile Dysfunction. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss these options confidentially and tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs.

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 young men to detect these changes early. Early detection is key, as testicular cancer has a very high cure rate.

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 your bladder and urethra. This allows your urologist to check for issues like bladder tumors, stones, or bleeding. It's a quick, routine office procedure.

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.

What are urodynamics?

Urodynamic testing is a series of tests that evaluate how well the bladder and urethra are storing and releasing urine. Dr. Refaai uses this information to understand the precise cause of complex issues like incontinence or difficulty urinating, leading to a more effective treatment plan.
