Prostate
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate, often causing swelling or pain. This common condition takes three forms, ranging from annoying to severe. The specialists at Urology Associates have a great deal of experience treating both prostate cancer and benign conditions that affect the prostate.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones form when excess material crystallizes in the kidneys. Stones resistant to conservative, non-surgical therapy may be treated by a variety of surgical techniques.
Incontinence
Over 13 million American men and women suffer from incontinence – a sign of a urinary tract problem. Fortunately, incontinence can frequently be treated with both surgical and non-surgical methods. Newer procedures have greatly increased success rates of bladder surgeries.
Impotence
Impotence is a common, treatable condition with a number of treatments options and lifestyle changes available. To determine the best course of treatment, our urologists focus on accurately diagnosing the cause of the problem.
Vasectomy
Vasectomy is a permanent method of contraception for men. Each year, about half a million men in the U.S. undergo this simple surgical procedure, which seals the vas deferens, preventing sperm from getting into the ejaculated fluid.
Vasectomy Reversal
Vasovasotomy (reversal surgery) is for men who wish to conceive after vasectomy, reversal surgery may restore fertility. In this procedure, the severed ends of the vas deferens (cut during vasectomy) are reconnected to reestablish the flow of sperm.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopy can reveal scar tissue or abnormal growths on the outer surfaces of your reproductive organs. Your doctor views the organs through a small lighted telescope (laparoscope) inserted through a tiny incision near the navel.
Urologic Oncology
Cancer is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth and potential spread of abnormal cells. When cells grow abnormally and become a mass, it is called a tumor. Some tumors are benign (not malignant). Others are malignant (cancerous). A malignant tumor invades and destroys the surrounding tissue. Sometimes cancer grows and spreads rapidly. In other cases, it develops and spreads slowly.
Pediatric Urology
Pediatric urology is the diagnosis and treatment of congenital (i.e., present at birth) and acquired urological conditions and diseases in children. Pediatric urologists treat conditions of the male reproductive tract (i.e., undescended testicle) and the male and female urinary tract. |
