Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Manuel Camacho:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Camacho 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 age 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Camacho.

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

How is Low Testosterone (Low T) diagnosed and treated?

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple blood test, typically taken in the morning. If levels are low and you're experiencing symptoms, Dr. Camacho can discuss safe and effective treatment options, such as gels, injections, or pellets.

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

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

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 performed in the office, that blocks the tubes carrying sperm. This procedure does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

I have been diagnosed with a kidney stone. Will I need surgery?

Most small kidney stones pass naturally with increased fluids and pain management. For larger stones or those causing significant issues, Dr. Camacho can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to effectively remove them.
