• Augmentation Cystoplasty: As a proactive step in managing severe bladder dysfunction, augmentation cystoplasty reconstructs the bladder to increase its size and help alleviate symptoms like frequent urination and incontinence.
• Urethral Dilation: Urethral dilation helps diagnose and treat conditions causing narrowed urethras, improving urine flow and reducing the risk of long-term complications.
• Penile Implants: A penile implant is a surgical option to address erectile dysfunction, improving sexual health and quality of life.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Marwan Ali:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Marwan Ali 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, 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. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Marwan Ali.

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

Dr. Marwan Ali and our practice offer many effective, modern treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®, but other options such as vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants are also available. We can discuss these options with you confidentially to determine the best course of action for your needs.

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, impairing sperm production, and is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.

What is BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), and is it related to cancer?

BPH is a very common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that occurs as men age. It is not prostate cancer and does not increase the risk of developing it. Dr. Marwan Ali and our practice offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

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. Marwan Ali can discuss safe and effective treatment options like gels, injections, or pellets.

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. Marwan Ali is not just about treating ED, but also a proactive step in overall health screening.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urination, sometimes difficult to control, and potentially leading to leakage. It's a common condition, and Dr. Marwan Ali can offer various effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.
