“Whether you’re out in the summer heat or hitting the gym, staying hydrated is key to staying healthy and energized,” says Joseph Feldman, MD, FACEP, Medical Director of Mount Sinai Doctors–Urgent Care. “And hydrate with fluids with electrolytes to replace the electrolytes you lose in your sweat as well.”

Dehydration can sneak up on you, especially during physical activity. So why does matter? It helps regulate your body temperature, keeps your joints lubricated, supports muscle function and recovery, and even aids in digestion and nutrient transport.

“You should drink between 11.5 cups per day and 15.5 cups per day, depending on your size and activity level,” adds Dr. Feldman. So don’t wait until you’re thirsty—by then, dehydration has already started.

If you’re experiencing any heat-related issues, visit Mount Sinai Doctors-Urgent Care, conveniently located on the Upper West Side at 638 Columbus Avenue.

“Many patients notice symptom improvement within a few weeks, with continued benefits over several years says Dr. Dan Shilo. “As the prostate shrinks, urinary symptoms like urgency and weak stream improve, helping men regain control over their daily lives and sleep through the night.”

If an enlarged prostate is disrupting your sleep and routine, PAE may be a game-changer!

Speak to the PAE experts! Mount Sinai West was involved in the development and approval of prostate artery embolization, and we continue to develop this procedure and serve as a center of excellence for research and treatment.

“PAE is performed under minimal "twilight" sedation, allowing you to recover and go home more quickly after the procedure,” explains Dr. Dan Shilo. “Using a tiny catheter inserted through the wrist we block the blood vessels feeding the prostate. Following this procedure the prostate will begin to shrink, relieving and improving symptoms usually within weeks of the procedure.”

The procedure takes 1-2 hours, and patients go home the same day after a quick recovery!
