A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Stuart Bergman 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:

• Urinary Stones: Preventing urinary stones starts with understanding your risk factors and making lifestyle changes like staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet to reduce your chances of developing them.
• Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV: Chronic Kidney Disease Stage IV is a severe stage where kidney function is greatly impaired; regular check-ups and adherence to your treatment plan are vital to prevent further damage and maintain your overall health.
• 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.
• Prostatitis: Understanding your risk factors for prostatitis, such as age and prior infections, empowers you to take proactive steps to reduce your chances of developing this condition.
• Chronic Kidney Infection: Preventing long-term kidney damage requires early detection and treatment of kidney infections; addressing infections promptly can stop them from becoming chronic.
• Phimosis: Early detection and management of phimosis can significantly improve long-term urinary and reproductive health, particularly in males.
• Testicular Hypofunction: Testicular hypofunction can affect sexual health and fertility; proactive screenings and lifestyle changes can help prevent or manage the condition and its consequences.
• Hydronephrosis: Managing conditions that can lead to hydronephrosis, such as kidney stones or prostate enlargement, is crucial for preventing this painful and potentially harmful swelling of the kidney.
• Pyonephrosis: Pyonephrosis is a serious kidney infection where pus builds up, highlighting the importance of promptly addressing urinary tract infections to prevent severe complications.
• Infective Cystitis: Managing infective cystitis promptly with appropriate treatment minimizes the risk of kidney infections and other complications, keeping your urinary system healthy.
• Hydrocele: A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac around a testicle, and while often harmless, early detection through regular self-checks helps identify any potential complications that need attention.
• Chronic Kidney Disease Stage III: Chronic Kidney Disease Stage III means your kidneys aren't working as well as they should, and proactive management now is crucial to prevent further damage and slow progression.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Stuart Bergman:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Bergman and our team of urologists are surgical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as 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. 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 with Dr. Bergman.

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 elevate testicular temperature, impairing sperm production, and is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.

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 prevention.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Bergman's practice focuses on adult urology, but we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists for children's urological needs, such as bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary reflux.

Can erectile dysfunction be a sign of another health problem?

Yes, erectile dysfunction (ED) can often be an early warning sign of underlying cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or other health issues. A consultation with Dr. Bergman is not just about treating ED, but an important step in a proactive, overall health screening.

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

Yes, a urologist can help. Urologists are experts in both the male and female urinary tract. Dr. Bergman specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

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

Dr. Bergman and our team offer many effective, modern treatments for erectile dysfunction. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss the best approach for you in a confidential setting.
