- Male Infertility: Difficulty conceiving a child in later life can be addressed through various options like lifestyle changes, medication, or assisted reproductive technologies.

Here are answers to some common questions about Urological care with Dr. Eugene Ermolovich:
- What is a Urologist?
- Dr. Ermolovich 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 vital for managing issues common in older adults, such as 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 should be evaluated. 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. Ermolovich can diagnose the cause and offer many 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 to have a PSA test is a personal choice best made after discussing the potential benefits and risks with your doctor. Dr. Ermolovich can help you have this conversation, considering your age, family history, and overall health.
- What is robotic surgery for prostate cancer?
- Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is a minimally invasive technique for prostate cancer removal. It allows for precise surgery through small incisions, leading to less pain, less blood loss, and a quicker recovery than traditional open surgery.
- What is a cystoscopy?
- A cystoscopy is a common in-office procedure where Dr. Ermolovich uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to look inside your bladder and urethra. It's often used to investigate issues like blood in your urine or recurring urinary tract infections. The procedure is quick and performed with numbing gel for comfort.
- 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 weakened pelvic floor muscles, especially in women. Fortunately, it's treatable. Options range from exercises to minimally invasive procedures like a urethral sling for a lasting solution.
- Are recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) common in older women?
- Yes, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common problem in postmenopausal women, often due to hormonal changes affecting the urinary tract's natural defenses. Dr. Ermolovich can evaluate for any underlying anatomical issues and create a prevention strategy, which may include low-dose antibiotics or other therapies.
- 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 press on the urethra, causing urinary problems such as a weak stream, frequent urination, and difficulty starting. Dr. Ermolovich offers a range of treatments, from medication to minimally invasive procedures like UroLift® or Rezum.
