About me

She has special interests in treating symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland (a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia), lower urinary tract symptoms, kidney stones and scrotal conditions. She is also interested in providing gender-affirming care.

In research, Nik-Ahd explores topics that include symptoms of and treatments for an enlarged prostate, prostate cancer in minority populations, and the impact of aging and frailty on surgical outcomes. She has conducted large studies on prostate cancer in transgender women, with findings that have influenced national screening guidelines for this population.

      This was a fantastic experience, so much so that I wanted to fill out the survey which I don't normally do. Excellent, can't say enough good things about the care I received.

    Please check with your health insurance plan regarding coverage for this type of care. Not all providers at UCSF Health are covered by every insurance plan.
