• 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.
• Gonorrhea Infections: Gonorrhea, if left untreated, can lead to serious complications. Regular checkups and safe sex practices are vital in preventing infection.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Unyime Nseyo:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Unyime Nseyo 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. 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. Unyime Nseyo.

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 problems, Dr. Unyime Nseyo can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to break up or remove the stone.

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. Unyime Nseyo and her team offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

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. Nseyo can discuss safe and effective testosterone replacement therapy options, such as gels, injections, or pellets.

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 bladder cancer 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, which can impair sperm production. This is a common, correctable cause of male infertility.

What is robotic surgery, and what are its benefits?

Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is a minimally invasive technique. A surgeon uses a console to control robotic arms with tiny instruments, leading to smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
