Our Services
From life-changing wellness services to life-saving robotic procedures, our experienced urologists are dedicated to preventing, diagnosing, and treating all urological conditions and common adult health concerns.
Our urologists are here to help you improve your overall health and quality of life. Understanding your risk factors, such as a family history of certain cancers, and recognizing the signs for certain urological disorders are the first and most important steps to maintaining your health.
The following symptoms may be a sign of a more serious urologic condition requiring medical attention:
- Blood in your urine
- Pain while urinating
- Changes in your urinary pattern
- Frequent urination or difficulty holding urine (incontinence)
- Weak urinary stream or inability to urinate
- Pain in your lower abdomen
- Persistent pain in your lower back
- Frequent urinary tract infections
- A testicular mass
- A lump or mass in your side or abdomen
- Unexplained weight loss
Proper screening is an essential part of preventative care. The American Cancer Society recommends that men discuss prostate cancer screenings with their providers at around age 50. Men with a family history of prostate cancer should begin that conversation around age 40.
Urine collection and blood tests are commonly the first steps in diagnosing and screening urologic conditions. Imaging tests such as pyelogram, cystography, CT scan, or ultrasound of the kidney, prostate/rectal sonogram, and renal angiogram provide visibility into the urinary tract to look for blockages, tumors, and other abnormalities. Cystometry and urine flow tests help doctors assess whether the urinary function is normal.
