NYC urologist/oncologist David Samadi, Encourages Men to Take Charge of Their Urological Health Today
For many men, scheduling a visit to a urologist is often delayed until a urological health issue becomes unavoidable. However, regular check-ups with a urologist are vital for maintaining overall well-being. Dr. David Samadi, a world-renowned urologist and author of Prostate Cancer, Now What, A Practical Guide to Diagnosis, Treatment, and Recovery, emphasizes the importance of proactive urological care.
“Just as women routinely see gynecologists, men need to prioritize their urological health,” says Dr. Samadi.
From sexual health concerns to prostate monitoring, here are three compelling reasons every man should schedule a visit with a urologist sooner rather than later.
1. Addressing Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more than a bedroom issue—it can be an early warning sign of serious underlying health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances. While it’s a difficult topic for many men to discuss, ED is incredibly common, especially for those in their 40s and 50s.Dr. Samadi reassures men that solutions are readily available. “ED treatments have come a long way, from medications to hormone therapy and even lifestyle changes. Seeking help can lead to real improvements, not only in sexual health but also in overall quality of life.”If you’ve been experiencing performance challenges, a simple conversation with a urologist can lead to life-changing results. Don’t let embarrassment stand in the way of your health and happiness.
2. Managing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
An enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition for men over 50. Symptoms include frequent urination, especially at night, or a weak urine stream. At the same time, these symptoms may seem like minor inconveniences, but ignoring them can lead to serious complications, including bladder and kidney problems.Dr. Samadi stresses the importance of early intervention. “Urologists can provide tailored solutions for BPH, whether it’s medications, lifestyle adjustments, or exercises. The key is addressing the issue before it disrupts daily life or causes more significant health concerns.”
3. Monitoring Prostate Cancer Risk
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, and family history significantly increases the risk. Men with a father or brother diagnosed with prostate cancer should start screenings as early as age 40. Other risk factors include advanced age (average age of diagnosis is 66), African American ethnicity, obesity, exposure to environmental carcinogens such as Agent Orange, and inherited mutations in genes like BRCA1 or BRCA2. “Early detection is a game-changer as prostate cancer is a silent killer,” Dr. Samadi advises. “A urologist will guide you through regular PSA testing, a simple blood test conducted in a doctor’s office, and discuss the best screening schedule based on your personal risk factors.” Prostate cancer is highly treatable when caught early, making proactive screening a critical step for men with a family history.
Take Charge of Your Health Today
“Urologists are here to help men live healthier, longer lives,” says Dr. Samadi. “From sensitive issues like ED to essential screenings for prostate health, taking the first step to see a urologist can prevent bigger problems down the road.”Don’t wait until symptoms become severe—schedule an appointment with a urologist today.
