Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Ross Everett:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Ross Everett and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in men and women, and the male reproductive system. We manage everything 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 start earlier, around age 40-45. This decision is a shared one between you and Dr. Ross Everett.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Ross Everett and his team at Everett Urology treat adult urological conditions. For pediatric urology needs, such as bedwetting, undescended testicles, or urinary reflux, we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists.

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

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, burning during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. See Dr. Everett for diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics to prevent complications.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

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

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.

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

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple blood test, typically performed in the morning. If results indicate low levels and symptoms are present, Dr. Everett can discuss safe and effective treatment options, including gels, injections, or pellets.
