A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. R Borland provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Prostatocystitis: Managing prostatocystitis effectively, through lifestyle changes and medical attention, is crucial to avoid long-term damage to your urinary system.

• Phimosis: Phimosis, a condition where the foreskin can't be retracted, is best managed early to prevent infections and complications later in life.
• Kidney Infection: Protecting your kidneys from infection starts with recognizing symptoms early, such as fever and back pain, and getting treated quickly to prevent long-term kidney damage.

• Prostate Cancer: Lifestyle choices and regular screenings are key to preventing advanced-stage prostate cancer and improving your overall health.
• Chronic Kidney Disease Stage III: Managing Chronic Kidney Disease Stage III through diet, medication, and regular monitoring can significantly reduce the risk of needing dialysis or a kidney transplant in the future.
• Bladder Carcinoma: Early detection is crucial for successful bladder cancer treatment, so understanding your risk factors and seeking medical attention if you experience symptoms can save lives.
• Urethral Stricture: Regular self-monitoring for urinary symptoms, such as straining or a weak urine stream, coupled with timely medical attention, can prevent urethral stricture from progressing and causing further harm.
• Bladder Infection: Managing bladder infections promptly helps prevent complications like kidney infections and recurring infections, safeguarding your urinary health.
• Urinary Incontinence: Urinary incontinence, or accidental urine leakage, can be managed effectively through proactive lifestyle changes and early medical intervention, preventing more serious health issues down the line.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. R Borland:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Borland 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 ideally start earlier, around age 40-45. This decision is a shared one, and {Dr. R Borland} will help you determine the best course of action for you.

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. Borland and our team offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

What is robotic surgery, and what are its benefits?

Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is a minimally invasive technique where a surgeon uses a console to control robotic arms with tiny instruments. This approach results in smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

Preventing kidney stones is key. Increasing your fluid intake, especially water, is crucial. Dr. Borland may recommend specific dietary changes or medications, depending on the type of stone, to reduce the risk of recurrence.

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

Dr. Borland and our team offer many effective, modern treatments for Erectile Dysfunction. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss these options with you in a confidential setting.

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

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple morning blood test. If the results show low levels and you have symptoms, Dr. Borland can discuss safe and effective treatment options, including gels, injections, or pellets.

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

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