Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Vipul Patel:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Patel 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, including kidney stones, UTIs, and 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. Patel.

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 may include frequent urination or pain during urination. Smoking is the single biggest risk factor for bladder cancer prevention.

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. Patel can use minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to break up or remove the stone.

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 an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder is a common condition characterized by sudden, frequent, and urgent urges to urinate, sometimes with leakage. Dr. Patel can discuss many effective treatments, including behavioral strategies, medications, and advanced therapies.

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

Dr. Patel and our team offer many effective treatments for ED. Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®. Other options include vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants. We can discuss these options with you confidentially and determine the best approach for your specific needs.

What is robotic surgery, and what are its benefits?

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