Bladder & Urinary Tract Issues
Many urological symptoms begin appearing as men and women get older. Sometimes, childbirth or a life event may cause physical changes in the body. At Advanced Urology, we treat a variety of wellness concerns including:
- Pelvic organ prolapse - POP is unique to women. Pelvic organ prolapse is similar to a cystocele (prolapsed bladder). When the muscles in the pelvis begin to stretch and change, like after giving birth to a child or experiencing menopause, sometimes the organs (bladder, uterus or cervix) which are held in place by the pelvic muscles fall into the vagina. This droop can cause pain in the abdomen and vagina. There are surgical options to remedy POP.
- Urinary tract infections - UTI's can occur in both men and women. Men are less likely to develop a urinary tract infection because their urethrae are much longer than females. Bacteria that live in the bowel is transferred to the urethra during sex and after using the bathroom. Prevent UTI's by always wiping from front to back and thoroughly washing your hands and intimate areas after sexual activity. Urinary tract infections typically clear up with prescribed antibiotic medications. If a UTI is left untreated, it may cause severe damage to the kidneys.
- Overactive bladder - OAB occurs in almost half of all women in the United States. An overactive bladder does affect men, but it's less common. OAB is defined as a chronic condition in which the patient feels the need to urinate frequently and suddenly, in spite of how much fluid they've actually ingested. An overactive bladder may be due to hyperactive bladder muscles or could be a sign of drinking too much alcohol or caffeine. Fortunately, there's a wide variety of treatments to aid an overactive bladder.
Men’s Urological
Health Conditions
At Advanced Urology, we understand the importance of a man's holistic wellness. We treat any number of conditions including:
- Urological cancers - Prostate, testicular, bladder and kidney cancer each demand early detection for the highest possibility of recovery. Testicular cancer is extremely treatable with only one in 5000 men dying from the disease. Treating kidney cancer involves a radial or partial nephrectomy. Prostate cancer is ranked third when it comes to cancer-related fatalities. Regular check-ups, a healthy lifestyle and early detection can help reduce the risk of developing any sort of urological cancer.
- Low testosterone - Testosterone is a vital male hormone which is produced mainly in the testicles. Testosterone is essential for maintaining healthy sexual function, energy levels, a balanced mindset and strength. Also, it manages fat and muscle in the body. Low testosterone levels may be a signal of the aging process or stress or it may be due to other health conditions. Symptoms include chronic tiredness, reduced sexual appetite and
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia - BPH is a common problem in older men. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the swelling of the prostate which causes symptoms like finding it challenging to urinate, frequent urges to use the bathroom or pain when urinating.
- Erectile dysfunction - ED is a man's inability to produce or maintain an erection. This condition is usually a product of stress, anxiety or another mental complaint. Many men experience ED in their lifetime and it often isn't a reason to fret. However, if you've encountered recurring episodes of erectile dysfunction, it may be due to a more severe illness.
