Prostate gland disorders
Infertility and impotence
Erectile Dysfunction
Vasectomy and it's reversal |
Kidney stones and bladder or ureteral obstructions
pose serious problems and great pain for patients. Using fiberoptic
techniques, urologists can diagnose and treat these blockages
without making surgical incisions. Specialists are also highly
skilled in the use of lithotripsy (shock waves which fragment
hard-to-reach stones) and advanced techniques to access and eliminate
difficult obstructions.
Urology now offers the most advanced treatment available for Benign
Prostatic Hyperplasia, commonly called BPH or enlarged prostate.
This condition usually occurs in men age 50 and over, and can
cause painful bladder infections, frequent urination, and other
problems. Treatment involves a wide range of therapies, including
the latest surgical techniques.
Medical interventions to correct male erectile
dysfunction have become highly sophisticated. Urologists provide
a full range of testing and therapies, including hormonal treatment,
penile injection therapy, penile prostheses and microvascular
surgery to enhance blood flow.
Vasectomy reversal and other treatment for male
infertility is available. Urologists and reproductive endocrinologists
often work in conjunction to assess a couple’s needs, and
take an aggressive approach to fertility problems.
