Diseases it treats

Benign Prostate Hyperplasia

Growth of a benign tumor in the prostate gland as a result of aging. It produces urinary symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, weak stream, frequency, urgency, needing to get up to urinate at night, or incontinence.

Prostate Cancer

It is the most common cancer in men, and it is curable if detected early. It is important to see a urologist annually starting at age 50 for early detection, and at age 40 if there is a family history.

Bladder Cancer

Very common in patients who smoke or who smoked in their youth, it usually presents with blood in the urine and irritative urinary symptoms. 80% of cases are curable.

Phimosis

Narrowing of the foreskin that prevents the glans from being exposed. This can compromise hygiene and cause discomfort during sexual intercourse. It is common in children but sometimes bothers older men as well.

Kidney Stones

The crystallization of waste products in urine can produce kidney stones. These stones can vary in composition and their elimination may occur naturally or require surgical treatment.

Urinary Tract Infections

Urinary tract infections are most often caused by bacteria that reach the urethra and then the bladder. They can also be associated with other diseases.
