A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Kannan Deerush provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• End-Stage Renal Disease: End-stage renal disease means your kidneys have lost most of their function, but early detection of kidney problems and consistent treatment can often delay or prevent this from happening.
• Undescended Testicles: Undescended testicles, where one or both testicles haven't moved into the scrotum before birth, should be checked early as it can increase the risk of infertility and testicular cancer later in life.
• Urinary Retention: Urinary retention means you can't empty your bladder completely, and preventing this through healthy habits and prompt medical attention protects your kidneys and bladder from damage.
• Hydronephrosis: Regular health screenings and prompt treatment of urinary tract issues can help detect hydronephrosis early, minimizing the risk of long-term complications like kidney failure.
• Urinary Incontinence: Managing urinary incontinence through preventative strategies, like healthy weight management and bladder training, can significantly improve your comfort and independence.
• Kidney Tumor: Understanding your risk factors for kidney cancer, such as smoking or family history, empowers you to take steps to prevent or manage this serious condition.
• Acute Interstitial Nephritis: Acute interstitial nephritis is a sudden kidney inflammation that, if caught early, can prevent serious long-term kidney damage, highlighting the importance of regular check-ups and prompt attention to unusual symptoms.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Kannan Deerush:

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Deerush 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. 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 decision is a shared one between you and Dr. Kannan Deerush.

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.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Deerush and our team treat adults with urological concerns. For pediatric urology issues like bedwetting, undescended testicles, or urinary reflux, we can provide referrals to trusted pediatric urologists.

What are the most common signs of bladder cancer?

The most common and earliest sign of bladder cancer is blood in the urine, 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 are the treatment options for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Dr. Deerush and our team offer many effective, modern treatments for Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Common first steps include oral medications like Viagra® or Cialis®, but other options such as vacuum devices, injections, and penile implants are also available. We can discuss these options with you confidentially to determine the best course of action for your individual needs.

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

Common UTI symptoms include frequent or urgent urination, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. If you experience these symptoms, please see Dr. Deerush for diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential kidney infection.

What is a cystoscopy?

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