Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Mark Abramson:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Abramson 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, including kidney stones, UTIs, and 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. Abramson.

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

Most small kidney stones can be passed with increased fluid intake and pain management. For larger stones or those causing significant issues, Dr. Abramson can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to break up or remove the stone.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes with leakage. It's a common issue, and Dr. Abramson offers many effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

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. Abramson is not just about treating ED, but also a crucial step in proactively assessing your overall health.

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

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple blood test, typically done in the morning. If the results show low levels and you have symptoms, Dr. Abramson can discuss safe and effective treatment options, including gels, injections, or pellets.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Abramson and his team treat a variety of adult urological conditions. For pediatric urology concerns, such as bedwetting, undescended testicles, or urinary reflux, we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists.

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. See Dr. Abramson for a diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics to prevent the infection from spreading.
