Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Marshall Melcer:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Melcer 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 everything 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 ideally start earlier, around age 40-45. This decision is a shared one between you and Dr. Melcer.

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. Melcer can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement options, such as gels, injections, or pellets.

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

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 raise the temperature in the testicles, which can impair sperm production, and is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.

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.

What is a cystoscopy?

A cystoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure where our urologist, Dr. Marshall Melcer, looks directly inside your bladder and urethra using a thin tube with a camera. This allows us to check for issues like bladder tumors, stones, or sources of bleeding. It's a quick, routine office procedure.

What are urodynamics?

Urodynamic testing is a series of tests evaluating how well the bladder and urethra store and release urine. Dr. Melcer uses these tests to understand the precise cause of complex issues like incontinence or difficulty urinating, leading to a more effective treatment plan.
