Lawrenceville & Braselton · Prostate Cancer
What are the early signs of prostate cancer?
By Advanced Urology ·
What's the short answer?
Usually, there are none.
Early prostate cancer rarely causes symptoms.
That's why PSA screening matters.
When should you see a urologist about this?
Ask about screening at 45, or as early as 40 with risk factors like family history or Black ancestry.
What are Barrow County visits like?
Winder, Auburn and Statham readers who want an appointment come to Old Winder Highway in Braselton. Procedures are scheduled on Crown Pointe Way in Lawrenceville.
How are Winder-area patients treated?
For prostate cancer questions, Barrow County men can expect each test explained, from transperineal biopsy to MRI and PSMA PET/CT, along with a plain discussion of surveillance, surgery, radiation, hormone therapy and recovery.
What do Barrow County patients bring?
Barrow County patients can bring a short symptom history, medicine list, insurance card and any prior lab or imaging results. If treatment already happened elsewhere, the paperwork from it helps our urologists.
When should Barrow patients call?
Call (678) 344-8900 if anything changes or if you have questions after reading this. Our Braselton team is glad to set up a visit for Barrow County patients.

How do I book from Winder?
Call (678) 344-8900 or use online booking, and choose Braselton as your office.
Winder men often wake three times a night. Is that the prostate?
Often, but not always. Our Braselton team checks the prostate, the bladder and habits such as evening drinks before suggesting medicines or a procedure.
Do Barrow County women see a urologist for leaks?
Many do. Urgency, stress leaks and repeat infections are common reasons Auburn, Bethlehem and Statham women book with us.
What happens if my Barrow County PSA comes back high?
Our urologists repeat or review the test, look at your trend and explain if an MRI or biopsy makes sense. Nothing is decided at the first visit without your questions answered.
Can I get help with stones from Barrow County?
Yes. Auburn and Winder patients get their stone scans in Braselton; if a stone needs breaking up, that is booked on Crown Pointe Way.
