Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Stephen Butler:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Butler and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the reproductive system in men. We manage a wide range of concerns, 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 is a shared decision-making process between you and Dr. Stephen Butler.

Can erectile dysfunction be a sign of another health problem?

Yes, erectile dysfunction (ED) can often be an early warning sign of underlying health problems, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes. A consultation with Dr. Butler is an important step in a proactive, overall health screening, not just to treat ED, but to address any potential concerns.

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 symptoms are present, Dr. Butler can discuss safe and effective treatment options, including gels, injections, or pellets.

What is a cystoscopy?

A cystoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure where we use a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) to look directly inside 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 is the most common sign of testicular cancer?

The most common sign of testicular cancer is a painless lump or swelling in a testicle. Early detection through monthly self-exams is crucial, as this type of cancer has a very high cure rate when found early.

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

Common UTI symptoms include a frequent or urgent need to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. If you experience these symptoms, please see Dr. Butler for diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential kidney infection.

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

Dr. Butler and his team offer many effective modern treatments for erectile dysfunction. Common first-line options include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options, such as vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants, are also available. We understand this is a sensitive issue and are here to help you manage it confidentially.
