Frequently Asked Questions
What are the symptoms of kidney stones?
Severe flank or back pain, blood in urine, nausea/vomiting, frequent urination, and pain during urination. Small stones may pass without symptoms.
When should I be screened for prostate cancer?
Discuss with your doctor, typically starting at age 50 (earlier with risk factors). Screening involves PSA blood test and digital rectal examination.
Is enlarged prostate (BPH) the same as prostate cancer?
No. BPH is a benign (non-cancerous) enlargement causing urinary symptoms. It doesn't increase cancer risk, though the two can coexist.
How are kidney stones treated?
Treatment depends on size, location, and composition: small stones may pass with medication; larger stones require ESWL, ureteroscopy, or PCNL.
Is blood in urine always serious?
Blood in urine always requires evaluation. While causes are often benign, it can indicate serious conditions including cancer.
Are urological surgeries minimally invasive?
Many are. Endoscopic procedures, laparoscopic surgery, and other minimally invasive options are available for numerous conditions.
