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

What is a Urologist?

A urologist is a surgical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system. They 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 start earlier, around age 40-45. This decision is a shared one, and {Dr. Michael D'Angelo} will work with you to determine the best approach for your individual needs.

Can erectile dysfunction be a sign of another health problem?

Yes, erectile dysfunction (ED) can often be an early warning sign of underlying health problems, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes. A consultation with Dr. D'Angelo is an important step in a proactive health screening, not just for treating ED, but for overall well-being.

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

Dr. D'Angelo and his team offer many effective modern treatments for Erectile Dysfunction. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We understand this is a sensitive issue and are here to help you find the best solution, confidentially.

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. D'Angelo can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to effectively remove the stone.

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. D'Angelo for proper diagnosis and antibiotic treatment to prevent potential kidney infection.

What are the most common signs of bladder cancer?

The most common and earliest sign of bladder cancer is blood in the urine (hematuria), which can be visible or microscopic. Other less common symptoms include frequent urination or pain during urination. Smoking is the single biggest risk factor for bladder cancer prevention.

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.
