Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Ravindra Jahagirdar:

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. For higher-risk men, such as African American men or those with a family history, this conversation should begin earlier, around 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Jahagirdar.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

Prevention is key. Increasing fluid intake, especially water, is the most important step. Depending on the type of stone, Dr. Jahagirdar may recommend specific dietary changes or medications to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Can erectile dysfunction be a sign of another health problem?

Yes, erectile dysfunction (ED) can often be an early warning sign of underlying cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or other health issues. A consultation with Dr. Jahagirdar is not just about treating ED, but also a proactive step in a comprehensive health screening.

What is a cystoscopy?

A cystoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure where our urologist uses a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) to view the inside of your bladder and urethra. This allows us to check for issues like bladder tumors, stones, or sources of bleeding. It's a quick, routine office procedure.

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

Dr. Jahagirdar and our team offer many effective, modern treatments for ED. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, or penile implants. We can discuss these options confidentially and determine the best approach for you.

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 is a vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a safe, simple, and highly effective form of permanent male contraception. It's a minor surgical procedure, often performed in the office, that blocks the tubes carrying sperm. It does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.
