Men's Urology In Westminster, CO
specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the male urinary tract and reproductive system.
What Is Men's Urology?
Men’s urology is the branch of medicine focused on conditions of the male urinary system and reproductive organs. This includes the kidneys, bladder, prostate, urethra, and male sexual health. A urologist is a specialist trained to diagnose these conditions accurately and offer treatments that range from lifestyle changes and medication to minimally invasive procedures and surgery when necessary.
Many men wait years before seeing a urologist, often because they assume their symptoms are just a normal part of aging. They are not. Waking up multiple times at night to urinate, struggling with weak urine flow, losing confidence in the bedroom, or noticing blood in your urine are all signs that something specific is happening in your body. A urologist can find out what it is and help you fix it.
General practitioners are excellent at many things, but urologic conditions require specialized training, diagnostic equipment, and procedural expertise. That is why men’s urology in Westminster, CO requires a dedicated practice like Modern Urology, where focused care is the standard, not the exception.
Why Choose Modern Urology for Your Urologic Care
For men’s urology in Westminster, CO, Modern Urology combines a root-cause diagnostic philosophy with conservative treatment options, advanced technology, and a genuine commitment to patient comfort. The providers here do not treat symptoms in isolation. They work to find out why a problem is happening and how to prevent it from coming back.
Root-Cause Diagnosis, Not Quick Fixes
The team at Modern Urology starts every evaluation by looking deeper than the obvious symptoms. If you are getting up four times a night to urinate, the goal is not just to reduce that number. It is to understand whether the cause is an enlarged prostate, a bladder issue, an infection, or something else entirely. Accurate diagnosis leads to the right treatment the first time.
Conservative Treatment Before Surgery
Many urologic conditions can be managed without an operation. Modern Urology explores non-surgical treatment options first, including medications, behavioral modifications, pelvic floor therapy, and in-office procedures. Surgery is recommended only when conservative approaches are not enough or when the clinical situation calls for it.
Patient Comfort at Every Step
The practice offers nitrous oxide sedation for in-office urologic procedures, a feature that is uncommon in urology offices but makes a real difference for patients who feel anxious about exams or treatments. From the waiting room to the procedure room, the environment is designed to feel relaxed and respectful.
Shared Decision-Making
Dr. Fronczak and the Modern Urology providers include patients in every treatment decision. They explain what is happening, what the options are, and what each option involves. You will never feel pushed into a treatment you do not understand.
Men's Urologic Conditions We Treat
Modern Urology diagnoses and treats the full spectrum of men’s urologic conditions. Below is an overview of the most common issues our patients bring to us. Each condition has a dedicated resource page with detailed information about symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.
An enlarged prostate, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH, is one of the most common conditions in men over 45. As the prostate grows, it can squeeze the urethra and make it difficult for urine to flow normally. Symptoms include a weak urine stream, frequent urination, getting up multiple times at night, dribbling, urgency, and a feeling that your bladder has not fully emptied.
BPH affects roughly 50% of men between ages 50 and 60, and up to 90% of men over 80. Left untreated, it can lead to bladder damage and even kidney problems. Modern Urology offers medication, in-office procedures, and surgical options for BPH, with nitrous oxide sedation available for all in-office prostate procedures.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men and the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Early detection through PSA blood testing and a digital rectal exam can be lifesaving.
Dr. Fronczak supports PSA screening in men with more than 10 years of life expectancy, starting at age 50 for men without a family history of prostate cancer and at age 40 to 45 for men with a family history. If your PSA is elevated, Modern Urology uses advanced evaluation methods including genomic testing, multiparametric prostate MRI, and MRI-guided biopsy to determine whether a prostate biopsy is truly needed. These innovative tools reduce unnecessary biopsies while maximizing detection of aggressive cancers.
Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It is not a normal part of aging at any age, and it often signals an underlying health issue that deserves evaluation.
Modern Urology provides a thorough workup for ED, including testosterone testing and a review of cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors. Treatments range from oral medications like sildenafil and tadalafil to vacuum erection devices, couples therapy, and penile injection therapy. The gold standard treatment for men who do not respond well to pills is an injection of erectogenic medication. Dr. Fronczak performs a supervised trial injection in the office so that the patient and his partner can see that the process is simpler and more comfortable than it sounds. For advanced cases, penile prosthesis surgery may be recommended.
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, but abnormally low levels can cause fatigue, reduced sex drive, depression, loss of lean muscle mass, and anemia. A simple blood test drawn before 9 AM can measure your testosterone levels. If results show low testosterone, additional testing will help determine the cause and guide treatment options. Testosterone therapy, when appropriate, may improve energy, mood, sexual function, and body composition.
A vasectomy is a safe, effective, and permanent form of male birth control. It is a short outpatient procedure that prevents sperm from reaching the semen. Recovery is typically quick, with most men returning to normal activities within a few days. Dr. Fronczak discusses the procedure, recovery expectations, and long-term considerations thoroughly before scheduling.
Kidney stones form when minerals in the urine crystallize and build up in the kidneys or urinary tract. They can cause sudden, severe pain in the back or side, blood in the urine, nausea, and difficulty urinating. Modern Urology evaluates kidney stones with imaging and lab work, then recommends treatment based on stone size and location. Options range from medication and hydration management for smaller stones to minimally invasive procedures for larger or more complex cases. The providers also help identify why stones formed in the first place to reduce the chance of recurrence.
Urinary leakage, urgency, and frequency are never a normal part of aging and should not be accepted as something you just live with. These symptoms can result from overactive bladder, stress urinary incontinence, overflow incontinence, urinary tract infections, bladder stones, or more serious conditions like cancer.
Modern Urology provides expert evaluation to identify the specific type of incontinence and its underlying cause. Treatment options include behavioral modifications, pelvic floor physical therapy, medication, and surgical interventions when needed. Many patients have more than one contributing factor, which is why a thorough evaluation matters.
Peyronie’s disease causes a curved or bent erection due to scar tissue (plaque) that forms inside the penis. It can cause pain during erections, difficulty with intercourse, and significant emotional distress. Modern Urology evaluates the severity and progression of Peyronie’s disease and discusses treatment options ranging from medication to procedural intervention. If you have noticed a new curve or bend, early evaluation can make a difference in outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does a men’s urologist treat?
A men’s urologist diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the male urinary system and reproductive organs. Common conditions include enlarged prostate (BPH), prostate cancer, elevated PSA, erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, kidney stones, urinary incontinence, Peyronie’s disease, and vasectomy. For men’s urology in Westminster, CO, Modern Urology treats all of these conditions and more. If you are experiencing urinary symptoms, sexual health concerns, or pain in the pelvic or groin area, a urologist is the right specialist to see.
What happens during a urology appointment?
Your first visit will include a conversation about your symptoms and medical history, a physical examination, and possibly some initial diagnostic tests. The providers at Modern Urology take time to listen and explain findings clearly. You will leave with a clear understanding of what is going on and what your options are. Most initial evaluations can be completed in a single visit, though some conditions may require follow-up testing or imaging.
At what age should men start seeing a urologist?
There is no single “right” age, but Dr. Fronczak recommends prostate cancer screening starting at age 50 for men without a family history of prostate cancer and at age 40 to 45 for men with a family history. Beyond screening, any man experiencing urinary problems, sexual health concerns, or unexplained pelvic pain should see a urologist regardless of age. Symptoms like frequent nighttime urination, weak urine stream, or difficulty achieving an erection are not normal at any age and warrant evaluation.
What are the signs of an enlarged prostate?
The most common signs of an enlarged prostate include a weak or slow urinary stream, needing to urinate frequently (especially at night), difficulty starting urination, dribbling after urination, a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, and sudden urges to urinate. If you experience these symptoms, schedule an evaluation. Modern Urology offers a symptom score questionnaire that can help determine if your symptoms suggest prostate obstruction. A score greater than 8 typically indicates the need for a professional evaluation.
Is erectile dysfunction a normal part of aging?
No. While ED becomes more common as men get older, it is never considered normal. Erectile dysfunction often points to underlying conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hormonal imbalances, or medication side effects. The providers at Modern Urology evaluate the full picture, not just the symptom. Effective treatments exist for nearly every case, from oral medications to injection therapy and surgical options. If pills alone are not working, that does not mean you are out of options.
Does Modern Urology offer sedation for in-office procedures?
Yes. Modern Urology offers nitrous oxide sedation for in-office urologic procedures, including prostate procedures. This is an uncommon comfort feature in urology practices, and it makes a meaningful difference for patients who feel anxious about in-office treatments. The goal is to provide high-quality urologic care in a relaxed, comfortable environment.
