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

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Wanuck and our urology team 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 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 40-45. We encourage a shared decision-making process with Dr. Wanuck to determine the best course of action for your individual needs.

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.

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 prevention.

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.

What is a vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a safe, simple, and highly effective form of permanent male contraception. It's a minor surgical procedure that blocks the tubes carrying sperm, often done in the office, and does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

What is a cystoscopy?

A cystoscopy is a common diagnostic procedure where a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) is used to look directly inside the bladder and urethra. This allows your urologist to check for issues like bladder tumors, stones, or bleeding sources. It's a quick, routine office procedure.

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

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