Dr. John Staub was the guest speaker for the May meeting. Many people go to urologists for many problems. He separated the urological issues of men and women.
Men are primarily concerned about their prostate health.
The greatest population that he sees is over 50 years of age. All of these are critical in diagnosing a risk of prostate cancer. Their are age specific ranges for PSA's and most lab normals do not reflect that. Prostate cancer has a better prognosis than many other cancers that are in the population. With Women, Dr. Staub said that the primary concern that women come to urologists for are urninary incontinence, stress incontinence, and urge incontinence.
