Cancer screenings are an important part of preventive health care, as an early diagnosis leads to better outcomes. You can count on our experts at AdventHealth Apopka to offer the latest in preventive 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 to detect elevated prostate-specific antigens in your blood, which may suggest the presence of prostate cancer

If either of these screenings show abnormalities, your primary care provider will recommend further testing or may refer you to one of our experienced urologists who specialize in prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Talk to your doctor about screening if you are:

• A man age 50 or older 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 or older with a high risk of developing prostate cancer (family history, race or medical history)

Our urologists can help identify risk factors and evaluate your risk of developing prostate cancer so you can take charge of your health.

For many men, an enlarged prostate — or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — is part of aging. This change begins around age 40 for some men, and about half of the male population experiences 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 BPH. However, the use of heat does have risks, including erectile dysfunction.

One option to reduce heat-related risks is Aquablation. This minimally invasive, robotic-assisted approach uses heat-free technology to remove a precise amount of tissue with room-temperature water — no incision required.

Even though BPH isn’t life-threatening, whole-person health is our focus, and 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 in Apopka to learn more about Aquablation and determine if you’re a candidate for this innovative solution.
