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

What is a Urologist?

Dr. Lea PA-C 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. We encourage a shared decision-making process with Dr. Lea PA-C to determine the best approach for you.

How is Low Testosterone (Low T) diagnosed and treated?

Low testosterone is diagnosed with a simple morning blood test. If your levels are low and you have symptoms, Dr. Lea PA-C can discuss safe and effective treatment options like 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.

Do you treat children with urological problems?

Dr. Lea PA-C and our team treat children with urological problems, including bedwetting, undescended testicles, and urinary reflux. We are happy to help with your child's care.

What are urodynamics?

Urodynamic testing is a series of tests that evaluate how well the bladder and urethra are storing and releasing urine. It helps Dr. Lea PA-C understand the precise cause of complex issues like incontinence or difficulty urinating, leading to a more effective treatment plan.

I am a woman experiencing urinary leakage. Should I see a Urologist?

Yes, a urologist is the best choice for urinary leakage. Urologists are experts in both the male and female urinary tract. Dr. Lea PA-C specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of female urinary incontinence, offering solutions ranging from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

Can erectile dysfunction be a sign of another health problem?

Yes, erectile dysfunction (ED) can often be an early warning sign of underlying health problems, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes. A consultation with Dr. Lea PA-C is an important step in a proactive, overall health screening, not just to treat ED, but to address any potential underlying conditions.
