Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Marvin Young:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Young and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the reproductive system in men. We manage a wide range of concerns, 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. This decision is best made in a shared discussion with Dr. Marvin Young.

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

Common UTI symptoms include frequent or urgent urination, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. If you experience these symptoms, it's important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics to prevent potential complications.

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

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

What is a cystoscopy?

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

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

Yes, a urologist can help. Urologists are experts in both the male and female urinary tracts. Dr. Young specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions ranging from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

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. Marvin Young is not just about treating ED, but also an important step in proactive, overall health screening.
