Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Osvaldo Padron:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Osvaldo Padrón 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 start earlier, around age 40-45. This decision will be made in a shared discussion with Dr. Padron.

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 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. If you experience these symptoms, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Padron for diagnosis and treatment. Prompt treatment with antibiotics can prevent the infection from spreading to the kidneys.

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. Monthly self-exams are crucial for young men to detect these changes early. Early detection is key, as testicular cancer has a very high cure rate.

What are urodynamics?

Urodynamic testing is a series of tests evaluating how well your bladder and urethra store and release urine. Dr. Padron uses these tests to understand the precise cause of issues like incontinence or difficulty urinating, allowing for a more effective treatment plan.

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

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

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.
