A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Stephen Mandia 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:

• Hypospadias: Hypospadias can lead to urinary problems and cosmetic concerns if left untreated; therefore, regular pediatric urological examinations are vital for early diagnosis and management.
• End-Stage Renal Disease: Protecting your kidneys from damage through healthy lifestyle choices and regular checkups can significantly reduce your risk of developing end-stage renal disease.
• Vesicoureteral Reflux: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a condition where urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys, increasing your risk of UTIs and kidney damage—early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing long-term complications.
• Urinary Tract Cancer: Urinary tract cancers, including bladder and kidney cancers, can be detected early through regular screenings and check-ups, significantly improving treatment outcomes and survival rates.
• Kidney Stones: Preventing kidney stones involves understanding your risk factors, such as diet and hydration, to reduce your chances of developing them and needing painful treatment.
• Bladder Cancer: While you can't always prevent bladder cancer, proactive steps like knowing your family history and getting regular check-ups can dramatically improve your chances of early detection and successful treatment.
• 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.
• Hypogonadism: Preventing long-term health issues associated with low testosterone levels, such as decreased bone density and reduced muscle mass, starts with early detection and proactive management of hypogonadism.
• Kidney Infection: A kidney infection, or pyelonephritis, is a serious infection that can be prevented by staying well-hydrated, practicing good hygiene, and seeking prompt medical attention for any urinary symptoms.
• Neurogenic Bladder: Neurogenic bladder, a condition where nerve damage affects bladder function, highlights the importance of proactive health management. By addressing any underlying neurological conditions, you can prevent or lessen its impact on your urinary health.
• Prostate Cancer: Regular checkups and understanding your family history can help manage your risk of developing prostate cancer.
• Hydronephrosis: Hydronephrosis is a condition where urine backs up and causes swelling in your kidney, and early detection through regular checkups can prevent serious kidney damage.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Stephen Mandia offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Prostate Removal: As a proactive measure against advanced prostate disease, prostate removal surgery may be considered to eliminate cancerous tissue and improve the chances of recovery.
• Uroflowmetry: A simple uroflowmetry test helps your doctor assess your urinary flow rate, detecting potential bladder or prostate problems early.
• Prostate Cancer Screening Exam (DRE): Take charge of your prostate health with a DRE; this simple exam can identify potential problems early on, potentially saving your life.
• Prostate Biopsy: A prostate biopsy is a valuable diagnostic tool used to assess suspicious areas in the prostate gland, aiding in the early diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
• TURP (Transurethral Resection of Prostate) or Laser Destruction of Prostate: TURP and laser prostate surgery are options to proactively address an enlarged prostate, relieving urinary symptoms and improving quality of life.
• Prostate Cancer Screening: Early detection saves lives: get screened for prostate cancer to catch it early and increase your chances of a positive outcome.
• Cystometry: Proactive bladder care is key! Cystometry helps identify conditions like overactive bladder or bladder weakness, allowing for prompt intervention and preventing more serious complications.
• Urinary Stone Removal (Litholapaxy): As part of your proactive urological care, litholapaxy can remove kidney stones, relieving discomfort and preserving kidney function.
• Destruction of Penile Lesion: Addressing penile lesions through this procedure helps minimize the risk of infection and promotes optimal penile health.
• Bladder Surgery: Addressing bladder problems early through surgery can significantly reduce the risk of long-term health issues and improve quality of life.
• Urethral Dilation: Urethral dilation helps diagnose and treat conditions causing narrowed urethras, improving urine flow and reducing the risk of long-term complications.
• Orchiectomy: In cases of testicular trauma, an orchiectomy could be necessary to prevent further complications and pain in the affected area.

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

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Mandia 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, including kidney stones, UTIs, and 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 decision is a shared one between you and Dr. Mandia.

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 young men to detect these changes early, as early detection is key to the very high cure rate for this cancer.

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

Yes, a urologist is the best specialist to consult for urinary leakage. Urologists are experts in both male and female urinary tracts. Dr. Mandia specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

What are urodynamics?

Urodynamic testing is a series of tests evaluating how well the bladder and urethra store and release urine. This helps Dr. Mandia understand the precise cause of complex issues like incontinence or difficulty urinating, leading to a more effective treatment plan.

What are the most common signs of bladder cancer?

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

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, potentially impairing sperm production, and is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.
