Here are answers to some common questions about Urological care with Dr. David Burday:
- What is a Urologist?
- Dr. Burday is a urologist, a medical and surgical specialist who treats conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system. His expertise is valuable for seniors dealing with issues like enlarged prostate, urinary incontinence, kidney stones, and cancers of the prostate, bladder, and kidneys.
- I have to urinate frequently, especially at night. Is this just a normal part of getting older?
- While urinary patterns can change with age, frequent or urgent urination is a medical symptom that needs evaluation. For men, it's often a sign of an enlarged prostate (BPH), and for both men and women, it can be a sign of an overactive bladder. Dr. Burday can diagnose the cause and offer effective treatments to improve your comfort and sleep.
- What is a PSA test and who should have it?
- The PSA test is a simple blood test used to screen for prostate cancer. Deciding whether or not to have a PSA test is a personal choice made after discussing the potential benefits and risks with a doctor. Dr. Burday can help you have this important conversation, considering your age, family history, and overall health.
- What is BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)?
- BPH is a common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that often occurs with aging. As the prostate grows, it can squeeze the urethra, causing urinary problems like weak stream, frequent urination, and difficulty starting. Dr. Burday offers a range of treatments, from medication to minimally invasive procedures like UroLift® or Rezum.
- What is a cystoscopy?
- A cystoscopy is a common in-office procedure where Dr. Burday uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to look inside your bladder and urethra. It's used to investigate issues like blood in the urine or recurrent urinary tract infections. The procedure is quick and performed with numbing gel for comfort.
- I'm experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED). Is this something a urologist treats?
- Yes, erectile dysfunction (ED) is a very common condition, and urologists are the primary specialists for it. It can sometimes be linked to other health concerns such as heart disease or diabetes. Dr. Burday can conduct a confidential evaluation and discuss a wide range of effective treatments, from oral medications to other advanced therapies.
- What is robotic surgery for prostate cancer?
- Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is an advanced, minimally invasive technique for prostate cancer removal. It allows for precise surgery through small incisions, leading to less pain, less blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
- I sometimes leak urine when I cough or laugh. What can be done?
- This is a common condition called stress urinary incontinence, often due to weakening pelvic floor muscles. It's very treatable, especially in women. Treatments range from exercises to minimally invasive procedures like a urethral sling.
