Signs of a Good Urologist

What are the signs of a good urologist? Urologists are some of the most important medical professionals in health care today. Their expertise in urinary healthcare makes them crucial to both men and women alike. However, not all urologists are the same. It is imperative for you to know how to tell the difference between a good one and a bad one. Here is a list of the signs of a good urologist to help you pick the professional you can trust.

What Makes a Good Urologist?

It can be quite a challenge to find the right urologist because people usually do not have much information about this profession and its specifics. These professionals are responsible for checking up your urological system. You can recognize the best of their profession with the following signs:

1.    Should Be Able To Empathize With Patients

You should always look for a urologist that can really empathize with you and the condition that you are facing. Urologists also become a primary care doctor for most people, so being able to build a professional yet sympathetic relationship with patients is a skill that is essential to urologists. You should not feel as though you are just a customer for the doctor who has decided to treat you.

2.    Should Adapt To Newer Forms of Technology

You have to understand that doctors, surgeons, specialists, etc. are always learning. Ongoing training and learning are not new concepts for them. They attend seminars, webinars, conferences, etc. to know about new urology technology that can help them deliver better services. The right urologist will always be up-to-date with the latest technological trends of the industry. They will make sure their patients receive the best treatments in the best way possible.

If you notice that the urologist you have gone to is still sticking to the outdated tech and methods, you might want to steer clear from them. They cannot use budget and financial problems as an excuse. You have the right, as a patient, to receive only quality treatments. If you feel even the slightest compromise on the quality of treatment, you should say a clear no to it.

3.    Should Have Proper Credentials

Of course, this is the most important part of finding the right urologist. You want to make sure that the professional you are about to visit has proper qualification to be a urologist. First, you will look at their basic qualification, and then any additional certificates they might have obtained for their services to the industry. It should not surprise you to see the qualification information about the doctor right on the website. The doctors who have proper education and eligibility to be urologists have their information on the website.

They usually have detailed biographies in which you can read about their education and any accolades they may have obtained during their career. The education information tells you how seriously they have taken urology.

Conclusion

A urologist is one of the many specialists that can help you identify any issues with your reproductive organs or urological system. And since they are so important, it is always to look for these signs in a urologist. Visit our website and contact us today to schedule a consultation.

Female Pelvic Pain

Female pelvic pain is pain below a woman’s navel and is considered chronic if it lasts more than 6 months.  The pain can vary in intensity from woman to woman.  Some may have mild pain which comes and goes, while others have a steady, unrelenting pain that can become so severe it interferes with their quality of life.

Common Causes of Female Pelvic Pain

•     Reproductive system conditions such as; Endometriosis, Adenomyosis or uterine fibroids.
•    Scar tissue due to an infection, injury or surgery to the pelvic region.
•    Urinary tract or bowel diseases- irritable bowel syndrome, bladder irritation, bladder stones and kidney stones.
•    Tumors, growths, or cysts of the reproductive system or bladder.

Sometimes the causes of pelvic pain remain unknown even after testing has been done by your urologist doctor.  Even after an injury or surgery of the pelvic region has healed the affected nerves can keep sending pain signal to your brain.  The nerves become confused.

Diagnosis of Pelvic Pain

During your first visit to see your urology doctor, your urologist will do a pelvic examination to look for problems of your reproductive system.
Other tests may include:
•    Urine and blood tests to test for urinary tract infections
•    A pregnancy test
•    Sexually transmitted disease testing

Finding the cause and treating pelvic pain can be a long tedious process.  If your urologist discovers a reason for your pelvic pain they may prescribe:
•    Birth control pills or hormones to regulate your periods
•    Surgery to remove a tumor, growth or cyst located in your reproductive system
•    Over-the-counter medication to relieve pain, such as ibuprofen, naproxen which you will take on a regular basis, not just when you have pain and/or antibiotics to cure an infection and for some medication for anxiety may be required.

If you have been suffering from pelvic pain, please contact our office today to schedule an appointment with the best urology doctor in NYC.

What is Erectile Dysfunction? Top Urologist for ED in NYC, Drs. Brodherson and Larish

Erectile-Dysfunction doctor 01ED, or erectile dysfunction, is defined as the inability to obtain or maintain an erection of sufficient hardness and for a long enough time to satisfy your partner sexually.

Erectile Dysfunction

The effects of Erectile Dysfunction on the man and his partner go beyond the inability to have sex. Most men who have the problem feel inadequate and become depressed. They can fight with their wives, have trouble concentrating at work, and tend not to talk about the real problem that is bothering them. They lose their sense of “maleness” and that sense does not return until after the problem is corrected or treated.

The good news is that there are many effective and specific treatments for Erectile Dysfunction and if desired, the ability to have intercourse again can be achieved.

I have specialized in the latest treatment options for Erectile Dysfunction throughout my Urology career. In fact I have founded a biotech company that is investigating the use of a breakthrough therapy for Erectile Dysfunction (see Gene Therapy in the Research Section) and hope that will be available in the near future for my patients.

What are the steps to get treated for Erectile Dysfunction?

The first rule is that you should not try your friend’s medicine to fix your problem or buy any online. In some cases that could even be fatal.

If you are serious about fixing the problem, you need to make an appointment for a proper history and physical examination so that the problem can be evaluated a diagnosis made, and the best treatment (s) selected.

I think it is important to listen to, and look at, patients so I do not have a computer on my desk to enter data and distract me from learning your true issues.

If your sexual partner can accompany you to the first meeting that’s even better. In the pre-Viagra days I used to interview all Erectile Dysfunction patients with their partner and a sex therapist. She in turn would do separate individual interviews of the couple. In that way everyone was on board and agreed with the choice of therapy. For many reasons that is not done today but I learned that having the partner participate if at all possible makes for more successful outcomes for all involved.

In summary, don’t live with Erectile Dysfunction anymore. Don’t be embarrassed to discuss Erectile Dysfunction with your doctor or your spouse. You are not alone.

Call Drs. Brodherson and Larish today to schedule an appointment with the top expert in Erectile Dysfunction in NYC.
