**PSA, Prostate Cancer Screening**
PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is a protein made by the prostate gland. A PSA blood test is a common tool used to screen for prostate cancer, often along with a physical exam. While elevated PSA levels can suggest prostate cancer, they can also be due to non-cancerous conditions like an enlarged prostate or infection. Discussing the pros and cons of PSA screening with your doctor is important to decide if it's right for you.

Hi, I’m Dr. Nicole Alavi‑Dunn, a urologist at Prevea Health in Green Bay. I specialize in treating urinary and sexual health concerns, including urethral stricture disease, incontinence, lichen sclerosis, erectile dysfunction, and vasectomy care.
I earned my medical degree from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, completed my urologic surgery residency at the University at Buffalo, and pursued advanced fellowship training in Genitourinary Reconstruction and Male Pelvic Health at Loyola University Chicago.
I love urology because it allows me to build long-term relationships with my patients while helping them elevate their quality of life. I truly believe in a collaborative, team-based approach to care, and I want every patient to feel heard and supported.
I hope this page helps you feel more informed and empowered about your health. I look forward to working together to find the right solutions for you.
