Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Michael Binner:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Binner 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 ideally start earlier, around age 40-45. This decision should be made in a shared discussion with Dr. Binner.

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. Binner can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapies, including gels, injections, or pellets.

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

Classic UTI symptoms include frequent or urgent urination, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. See Dr. Binner for diagnosis and antibiotic treatment to prevent kidney infection.

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. Binner's practice offers many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

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

Dr. Binner and our team offer many effective modern treatments for ED. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss these options confidentially and determine the best approach for you.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Binner and our team treat adult urological conditions. We can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists for children's urological concerns, such as bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary tract reflux.

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.
