• Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV: Reaching Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV highlights the critical importance of early detection and ongoing management of underlying conditions, thus minimizing the severity of the disease and enhancing quality of life.
• Hypospadias: Hypospadias, a birth defect affecting the urethra's opening, requires early diagnosis to prevent later complications like urinary tract infections and difficulties with urination.
• Prostatitis: Preventive measures like maintaining a healthy lifestyle and addressing urinary symptoms promptly can significantly reduce the risk of developing or worsening prostatitis.
• Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Protecting yourself from STDs through safe sex practices and regular checkups is a vital step in maintaining your overall reproductive and urinary health.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Murray Goldberg:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Goldberg 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 everything 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 start earlier, around age 40-45. This decision is a shared one between you and Dr. Goldberg.

What are urodynamics?

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

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

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 preventing bladder cancer.

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. Goldberg can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapies, such as gels, injections, or pellets.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes difficult to control, which may lead to leakage. It's a common condition, and Dr. Goldberg can offer many effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

I am a woman experiencing urinary leakage. Should I see a Urologist?

Yes, a urologist is an excellent choice. Urologists are experts in both the male and female urinary tract. Dr. Goldberg specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.
