At Ironwood Urology, Dr. Desi Avila performs ultrasounds and an innovative MRI fusion-guided prostate biopsy to diagnose prostate cancer more effectively.

Whether you’re going to see a urologist to have a men’s health checkup or to have a specific health issue addressed, it’s a good idea to be prepared so that you don’t leave the office wishing you’d asked the doctor more questions.

In 2020 alone, there were an estimated 191,930 newly diagnosed cases of prostate cancer here in the United States. Once a man has a diagnosis of prostate cancer, he will have questions about treatment.

At Ironwood Urology, Dr. Desi Avila is one of Phoenix’s leading men’s health specialists who focuses on all aspects of men’s healthcare, including low testosterone (low-T), infertility, vasectomy, erectile dysfunction (ED), and prostate health.

Approximately 40% of men age 45 and older are thought to be affected by low testosterone levels, which can cause a number of symptoms such as fatigue, sexual dysfunction, and mood changes.
