Your Urology Questions - Answered!
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 07. 2024
- How much did you learn about urology in school? If your answer was “not a whole lot,” welcome. Most Nurse Practitioner programs do not cover urology concerns in great depth, which can contribute to a real lack of clarity once you start practicing. You may double or triple your knowledge of common urology concerns today.
This week, we talk with Dr. Joseph Acquaye, who answers all of the questions that you submitted about urology. In this interview, we talk about:
✅ When to refer your patient to urology, and what happens when you do
✅ Urinary incontinence
✅ Testosterone replacement
✅ PSA screening - how to interpret, and when to stop screening
✅ Imaging - should you order it before sending your patient to urology?
Dr. Joseph Acquaye says that his favorite part of working in urology is the wide variety of topics that he encounters on a daily basis. Whether performing a procedure, working with a couple to understand and address the impact of erectile dysfunction on them, or coming up with an approach to treat the tricky interstitial cystitis, there is always something different waiting in the urology office.

I guess some things that are patient based are not important to answer to a patient questionI am going to ask you a question and hope you will both answer me and be honest. When you do an irrigation do you keep your patient covered so that they are not exposed or did you just go a head and totally expose them. I had a Nurse practitioner do it and totally exposed me and had a registered nurse do the same thing and not expose me at all. One did a great job of treating me with care and understanding without exposing me, the other one was completely callus and when I left, I felt ashamed and dirty.
It is important to me as I have prostate cancer and have been looking for someone that would treat me as a moral human being rather than a Chippendale dancer. I would like to hope to find someone that cares and enough caring to treat a patient as a person with keeping with the days gone by and not exposing a patient more than necessary.
I am sorry you had such a negative experience. I hope other providers read your comment and understand the importance of maintaining patients dignity.
No respect for males in intimate situations in medicine,left exposed to multiple females without regard to a man’s dignity
