Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Kye Pahk:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Kye Pahk 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 should start earlier, around 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Kye Pahk.

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. Kye Pahk specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

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 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 elevate the temperature in the testicles, potentially impairing sperm production, and is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.

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. Kye Pahk is not just about treating ED, but also a proactive step in overall health screening.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

Prevention is key. Increasing fluid intake, especially water, is the most important step. Depending on the type of stone, Dr. Kye Pahk may recommend specific dietary changes or medications to reduce the risk of recurrence.

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