Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Marc Rose:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Rose and our team are urologists, 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. We encourage a shared decision-making process with Dr. Rose to determine the best approach for you.

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

Dr. Rose and his team offer many effective treatments for erectile dysfunction. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We understand this is a sensitive issue and are committed to providing confidential care.

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. Marc Rose is not just about treating ED, but is an important step in a proactive, overall health screening.

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

Classic UTI symptoms include frequent or urgent urination, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. See Dr. Rose for diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics to prevent 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. Rose can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapies, including gels, injections, or pellets.

What is robotic surgery, and what are its benefits?

Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is a minimally invasive technique. A surgeon uses a console to control robotic arms with tiny instruments, leading to smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

Preventing future kidney stones is key. Increasing your fluid intake, especially water, is crucial. Dr. Rose may also recommend specific dietary changes or medications, depending on the type of stone, to lower your risk of recurrence.
