Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Maria Maresma:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Maresma and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in 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. However, 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 you to discuss your individual risk factors with Dr. Maresma to determine the best screening plan for you.

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. It does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

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

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

What is a cystoscopy?

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

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder is a common condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes with leakage. Dr. Maresma can help you find effective treatments, such as behavioral changes, 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 may include frequent urination or pain during urination. Smoking is the single biggest risk factor for prevention.

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

Common signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI) 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. Maresma for diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential complications.
