Your score
—/ 35
Answer all 7 questions to see your score (0 of 7 answered).
These questionnaires are validated screening tools used in urology clinics. They do not diagnose a condition by themselves. Print or save your result and bring it to your appointment so Dr. Farhan can review it with you. Nothing you enter is stored or sent anywhere — the form works entirely on your device.
Procedures
Then understand the treatment options
Every guide follows the same format: what the procedure is, who is a candidate, how it is performed, benefits, alternatives, risks, preparation, recovery, and frequently asked questions.

Patient Education FAQs
How do I know which treatment is right for me?+
Treatment is chosen after evaluation, testing where appropriate, and a conversation about your goals. The philosophy in this practice is simple: the treatment should fit the patient, not the other way around.
Do I have to have surgery?+
No. Whenever appropriate, treatment begins conservatively with behavioral changes, therapy, or medication and progresses to procedures only when needed or preferred.
Can I get a second opinion here?+
Yes. Second opinions are a routine part of this practice, particularly for complex, revision, or previously treated problems.
What should I bring to my first visit?+
Your photo ID, insurance card, a complete medication list, prior operative reports and imaging if available, and a list of your questions.
