- Aquablation
-
For many men, an enlarged prostate is one common side effect of aging. For some, this change begins around age 40 — and about half of the male population experience this condition by age 60.
Removing obstructing tissue via surgery or laser procedures has traditionally been the most common form of treatment for persistent moderate to severe situations. Though helpful, the use of heat does bring risks, including erectile dysfunction.
One option to reduce certain risks is considering Aquablation. This minimally invasive robotic approach uses heat-free technology to remove a precise amount of tissue using room temperature water, with no physical incision required.
Even though having an enlarged prostate isn’t life-threatening, whole-person health is our focus, so we take these quality-of-life concerns seriously. Aquablation may help you find relief while avoiding the risks of traditional surgery. Contact one of our urology specialists to learn more about Aquablation and determine if you’re a candidate.
- Protect You Health with Cancer Screenings
-
Cancer screenings are an important step in your whole health. Research has shown that the earlier cancers - including prostate cancer - are diagnosed and treated, the better the outcomes. You can count on the experts at AdventHealth Kissimmee to offer the latest in preventative screenings.
Prostate cancer screenings may include:
- Digital rectal exam – A physical exam that allows your physician to feel any abnormalities around your prostate.
- Prostate specific antigen (PSA) test – A blood test that detects elevated prostate-specific antigens in your blood, which may suggest prostate cancer is present.
If either of these tests suggest any abnormalities, your primary care provider will recommend further testing or refer you to one of our experienced urologists who specializes in prostate cancer detection and treatment.
The American Cancer Society recommends men and their primary care providers discuss when the right time and type of prostate cancer screening. Talk to your doctor about screening if you are:
- A man over the age of 50 with an average risk of developing prostate cancer.
- A man age 45 or older with an above-average risk of developing prostate cancer (family history, race, or medical history).
- A man age 40 older with a high risk of developing prostate cancer (family history, race, or medical history).
Your urological specialist at AdventHealth Kissimmee can help you identify your risk factors and understand if you are at an increased risk of developing prostate cancer.
