Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Urologic care with Dr. Nakita APRN:
- 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 reproductive system in men. 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. 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 will work with you to create a personalized screening plan that's right for you, in a shared decision-making process with Dr. Nakita APRN.
- What is a vasectomy?
- A vasectomy is a safe, simple, and highly effective form of permanent male contraception. It's a minor surgical procedure, often performed in the office, that blocks the tubes carrying sperm. This procedure does not affect testosterone levels or sexual function.

- 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. Nakita APRN and our team offer many effective treatments to manage the urinary symptoms BPH can cause.
