Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Ernest PA-C:

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 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Ernest PA-C.

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. Ernest PA-C and our team offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.

Can erectile dysfunction be a sign of another health problem?

Yes, erectile dysfunction (ED) can often be an early warning sign of underlying cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or other health issues. A consultation with Dr. Ernest PA-C is not just about treating ED, but also an important step in proactive, overall health screening.

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.

How can I prevent future kidney stones?

Preventing future kidney stones is key. Increasing your fluid intake, especially water, is crucial. Dr. Ernest PA-C may recommend specific dietary changes or medications, depending on the type of stone, to lower your risk of recurrence.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Ernest PA-C and our practice treat children with urological problems, including bedwetting (enuresis), undescended testicles, and urinary reflux.

What is a cystoscopy?

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