Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Travis Allemang:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Allemang 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. 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. Allemang.

What are urodynamics?

Urodynamic testing is a series of tests that evaluate how well the bladder and urethra are storing and releasing urine. It helps Dr. Allemang understand the precise cause of complex issues like incontinence or difficulty urinating, leading to a more effective treatment plan.

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. This procedure does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

I have been diagnosed with a kidney stone. Will I need surgery?

Most small kidney stones can be passed with increased fluid intake and pain management. For larger stones or those causing significant issues, Dr. Allemang can utilize minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to effectively break up or remove the stone.

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

Yes, a urologist is the expert you need. Urologists specialize in both the male and female urinary tract, and Dr. Allemang specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions ranging from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

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

Signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI) can include a frequent or urgent need to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. See Dr. Allemang for diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential complications.

How is Low Testosterone (Low T) diagnosed and treated?

Diagnosis involves a simple morning blood test to measure testosterone levels. If levels are low and symptoms are present, Dr. Allemang can discuss safe and effective replacement therapies, including gels, injections, or pellets.
