Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Tarek Fardoun:

What is a Urologist?

A urologist is a surgical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system. They 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 is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Fardoun.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition characterized by a sudden, frequent, and urgent need to urinate, which can be difficult to control and may lead to leakage. Dr. Fardoun offers many 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. Fardoun may also recommend specific dietary changes or medications based on the type of stone to reduce the risk of recurrence.

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

Common signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI) include a frequent or urgent need to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. Seeing a doctor for diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics is important to prevent the infection from spreading.

What is a varicocele and how does it affect fertility?

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins in the scrotum, similar to a varicose vein in the leg. It can elevate testicular temperature, potentially impairing sperm production, and is a common, treatable cause of male infertility.

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