Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Steven Allegro:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Allegro 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, 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 best made in a shared discussion with Dr. Allegro.

What is the most common sign of testicular cancer?

The most common sign of testicular cancer is a painless lump or swelling in the testicle. Monthly self-exams are crucial for young men to detect these changes early. Early detection is key, as testicular cancer has a very high cure rate.

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. Allegro for proper diagnosis and antibiotic treatment to prevent potential kidney infection.

What are urodynamics?

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

What is BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), and is it related to cancer?

BPH is a very common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that occurs as men age. It is not prostate cancer and does not increase the risk of developing it. Dr. Allegro and our team offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms it can cause.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition characterized by a sudden, frequent, and urgent need to urinate, sometimes with leakage. Dr. Allegro can discuss effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

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