Frequently asked questions
When should prostate screening start?
Annual PSA and physical exams are recommended from age 50 for average-risk men, and from age 45 for those with a family history of prostate cancer.
Do kidney stones always require surgery?
Stones under 5 mm usually pass on their own. 5-10 mm stones may be managed with medication and monitoring. Stones over 10 mm or those causing obstruction need intervention.
What are the symptoms of a urinary tract infection?
Burning during urination, frequent urge to urinate, back pain or fever are the main symptoms. Diagnosis is confirmed via urinalysis.
