Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Sarah Silver:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Silver and her team are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat 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 discussion should begin earlier, around 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process between you and Dr. Silver.

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

Diagnosis involves a simple morning blood test to measure testosterone levels. If levels are low and symptoms are present, Dr. Silver can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapy options, such as gels, injections, or pellets.

I have been diagnosed with a kidney stone. Will I need surgery?

Most small kidney stones pass naturally with increased fluids and pain management. For larger stones or those causing significant issues, Dr. Silver can use minimally invasive procedures to break up or remove the stone.

What are the signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI)?

Common UTI symptoms include frequent or urgent urination, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. See Dr. Silver for proper diagnosis and antibiotic treatment to prevent kidney infection.

What are the most common signs of bladder cancer?

The most common and earliest sign of bladder cancer is blood in the urine, 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 bladder cancer prevention.

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

Dr. Silver and her team offer many effective treatments for ED. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We understand this is a sensitive matter and can manage your care with complete confidentiality.

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.
