WORCESTER, MA-Dr. Chintan Patel, Division Chief of Urology at Saint Vincent Hospital, joined Talk of the Commonwealth to discuss the recent opening of Saint Vincent Medical Group Urology’s new satellite office in Northborough and to provide an overview of urology and preventive men’s and women’s health care.
Dr. Patel described urologists as the “plumbers of the human body,” explaining that the specialty addresses a wide range of conditions affecting both men and women. Among the most common issues he sees are benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), kidney stones, female incontinence, erectile dysfunction (ED), and prostate cancer.
During the discussion, Dr. Patel emphasized the role of prevention and lifestyle choices in urologic health. He highlighted hydration as a key factor in reducing the risk of kidney stones and underscored the close connection between cardiovascular health and sexual health. According to Dr. Patel, habits that support heart health such as regular exercise, a clean diet, and avoiding smoking also play a significant role in preventing erectile dysfunction.
Prostate cancer, which Dr. Patel described as the most common solid organ malignancy in men over the age of 50, was another key topic. He stressed that when prostate cancer is detected early through appropriate screening, it is often highly manageable and should not be viewed as a “death sentence.”
Dr. Patel also contrasted the comprehensive, evidence-based care provided by board-certified urologists with that of cash-based “men’s health clinics,” encouraging patients to seek care from credentialed specialists and not to delay screenings or treatment.
