Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Perinchery Narayan:

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. However, 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 best made in a shared discussion with Dr. Perinchery Narayan.

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

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple blood test, typically taken in the morning. If your levels are low and you're experiencing symptoms, Dr. Perinchery Narayan can discuss safe and effective treatment options, including gels, injections, or pellets.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

Preventing future kidney stones is key. Increasing your fluid intake, particularly water, is crucial. Depending on the type of stone, Dr. Perinchery Narayan may recommend specific dietary changes or medications to lower your risk of recurrence.

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.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder is a common condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes with leakage. Dr. Perinchery Narayan can discuss effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

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