Preventive Examination

We screen for prostate cancer using the the most advanced methods available including MRI Guided Prostate Biopsies

Screening tests are given to people who are at high risk for health issues but do not yet have symptoms. It will help to get an early diagnosis and treatment.

Screening Tests

A digital rectal exam can detect BPH. The doctor inserts a gloved finger into the lower rectum. The doctor can then feel the size of prostate. Health issues like tumor or inflammation may also be noted.

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) increases with prostate issues such as BPH, prostate cancer, or prostatitis. A prostate specific antigen (PSA) test is not a screening test because PSA levels may not raise in all men with these conditions. The test may be done to look for changes to support other tests.

Some men have low testosterone levels. This is called Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome (TD) or Low Testosterone (Low-T). Deficiency means that the body does not have enough of a needed substance. Syndrome is a group of symptoms that, together, suggest a disease or health condition.

These symptoms or conditions may accompany (Low-T):

• Low sex drive
• Fatigue
• Reduced lean muscle mass
• Irritability
• Erectile dysfunction
• Depression
• There are many other possible reasons for these symptoms, such as: opioid use, some congenital conditions (medical conditions you are born with), loss of or harm to the testicles, diabetes, and obesity (being overweight). Consult your urologist if you have any of these symptoms.
