Urology & Men's Health in Houston: Prostate & PSA

Men's health checkup with blood work: PSA for the prostate, hormone panel, glucose, cholesterol and kidney function, with results explained in Spanish or English. At Clínica Hispana Nueva Salud Lawndale we see you without an appointment, Monday to Sunday from 9 AM to 9 PM, no insurance needed and with privacy.

What does the men's checkup include?

• PSA (prostate-specific antigen): early detection of prostate problems. A conversation about the test is recommended from age 50, or from 45 with a family history of prostate cancer.
• Hormone panel: total testosterone and, if needed, free testosterone, LH and prolactin, when there is fatigue, low sex drive, loss of muscle mass or erection difficulty.
• Glucose and A1C, cholesterol and triglycerides: Hispanic men have a higher risk of diabetes and heart disease.
• Kidney and liver function, CBC and blood pressure.
• STD testing when there is risk or symptoms, confidentially.

What does a high PSA mean?

A PSA above 4 ng/mL, or one that rises quickly from one year to the next, needs evaluation. It is not always cancer: an enlarged prostate (benign hyperplasia), an infection or ejaculation within the previous 48 hours also raise it. If the result is high, we repeat the test and explain the next step.

What do we do about urinary problems and an overactive bladder?

Sudden urges to urinate, going to the bathroom many times a day, getting up at night to pee or leaking are signs of an overactive bladder; in men they also show up when the prostate grows and squeezes the urine outlet. At the urology visit we run the urine test right here to rule out infection, order a PSA if your age or symptoms call for it and give you treatment for the overactive bladder, with the prescription sent to the pharmacy you choose. If you have burning when you urinate, a fever or blood in your urine, come in without waiting.

When should testosterone be checked?

When symptoms persist: fatigue, low energy, low sex drive, erection difficulty, loss of strength or low mood. The sample is drawn between 7 and 10 AM, fasting, and a low result is confirmed with a second test on another day. Hormone replacement is only indicated with two low results plus symptoms, and always with PSA and hematocrit monitoring.

How do I prepare?

Fast 8 to 12 hours for glucose and lipids; no intense exercise, cycling or ejaculation in the 48 hours before the PSA; hormone sample before 10 AM. Bring your ID and list of medications.

When are results ready?

Glucose, lipids and CBC come back quickly; PSA and the hormone panel are processed at the lab and take a few days. We call you and the doctor explains each value.

How much does the men's checkup cost?
