Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Neil Manimala:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Manimala 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. 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. We encourage a shared decision-making process with Dr. Manimala to determine the best course of action for you.

How is Low Testosterone (Low T) diagnosed and treated?

Low T is diagnosed with a simple morning blood test measuring testosterone levels. If levels are low and you have symptoms, Dr. Manimala can discuss safe and effective treatment options, including gels, injections, or pellets.

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

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Manimala and his team treat adult urological conditions. For pediatric urology concerns, such as bedwetting, undescended testicles, or urinary reflux, we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists.

What are urodynamics?

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

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. Regular monthly self-exams are crucial for early detection, as early diagnosis is key to the very high cure rate for this type of cancer.

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 prevention.
