Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Mourad Abouelleil:

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. 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 is a shared one between you and Dr. Abouelleil.

What is the most common sign of testicular cancer?

The most common sign of testicular cancer is a painless lump or swelling in the testicle. Regular monthly self-exams are crucial for early detection, as early diagnosis is key to the very high cure rate for this cancer.

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. Abouelleil's practice offers 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.

What is a vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a safe, simple, and highly effective form of permanent male contraception. It's a minor surgical procedure, often done in the office, that blocks the tubes carrying sperm. It does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition characterized by a sudden, frequent, and urgent need to urinate, sometimes with leakage. Dr. Abouelleil can offer many effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

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

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