Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Kevin 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 age 40-45. This is a shared decision-making process with Dr. Kevin PA-C.

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, making smaller incisions. This often leads to less pain, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery.

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. Kevin PA-C and our practice offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms it can cause.

What is an 'overactive bladder' (OAB)?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition causing sudden, frequent, and urgent urination, sometimes with leakage. It's a common problem, and Dr. Kevin PA-C can discuss effective treatments like behavioral changes, medications, and advanced therapies.

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 prevention.

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. Kevin PA-C is not just about treating ED, but also an important step in a proactive, overall health screening.

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

Most small kidney stones pass on their own with increased fluid intake and pain management. For larger stones or those causing significant pain or blockage, Dr. Kevin PA-C can utilize minimally invasive procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy to break up or remove the stone.
