Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Matthew Perry:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Perry 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. However, for higher-risk men, such as African American men or those with a family history, this conversation should begin earlier, around age 40-45. This is a shared decision you will make with Dr. Matthew Perry.

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

What is robotic surgery, and what are its benefits?

Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is a minimally invasive technique. A surgeon uses a console to control robotic arms with tiny instruments, leading to smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

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

Diagnosis involves a simple blood test, typically performed in the morning, to measure testosterone levels. If levels are low and symptoms are present, Dr. Perry can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapies, including gels, injections, or pellets.

What are urodynamics?

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

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. Perry for proper diagnosis and antibiotic treatment to prevent complications.

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. Perry offers many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.
