• Nephrectomy: A nephrectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a kidney, sometimes necessary to prevent the spread of cancer or manage severe kidney damage.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Preeya Mistry:

What is a Urologist?

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

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Mistry and our team at the practice treat a wide range of adult urological conditions. While we don't specialize in pediatric urology, we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists for children with conditions like bedwetting, undescended testicles, or urinary reflux.

What are the treatment options for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Dr. Mistry and our team offer a range of effective treatments for ED. Common first-line options include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options, including vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants, are also available. We will work with you to determine the best course of action, confidentially and thoroughly.

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

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple blood test, typically taken in the morning. If the results show low levels and you have symptoms, Dr. Mistry can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapies, like 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. Mistry and our team offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

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.

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, as early detection is key to the very high cure rate for this cancer.
