Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Morteza Yavari:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Yavari 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 is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Yavari.

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 bleeding. It's a quick, routine office procedure.

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. Yavari and our team offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

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

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Yavari and our team treat a variety of adult urological conditions. We can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists for children's urological needs, including bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary reflux.

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 are the treatment options for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Dr. Yavari and our team offer many effective, modern treatments for erectile dysfunction. Common first-line options include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss these options confidentially and tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs.
