Urologic conditions we treat

Our team treats the male and female urinary systems as well as the male reproductive system. Conditions we treat include: 

• Cancers of the urinary system. These include cancer of the adrenal gland, bladder, kidneys, male reproductive organs and ureter. 
• Congenital obstructive uropathy. This condition occurs when a baby is born and is unable to urinate due to a blockage in the urinary system.
• Enlarged prostate. Common as men age, an enlarged prostate can cause a weak urine stream, difficulty urinating and potentially bladder stones, infection or reduced kidney function. 
• Hematuria. This condition causes blood in the urine. 
• Hypospadias. A condition where a baby boy is born with the opening of his penis on the underside instead of the tip. 
• Kidney stones. These hard formations of minerals and salts in the kidneys can cause pain when passing through the urinary tract. 
• Male infertility. A health issue that affects a male’s ability to get a fertile female pregnant.
• Urinary incontinence. A loss of bladder control that may cause urine leakage when you laugh, cough or sneeze, or sudden strong urges to urinate without enough time to reach a bathroom. 
• Urinary stone disease. Solid particles or “stones” in the kidneys, ureter or bladder that are often painful to pass when urinating. 
• Urinary tract infection (UTI). Most common in women, a UTI is an infection in the bladder, kidneys or urethra.  
• Vesicoureteral reflux. Most common in infants in children, this condition occurs when urine backs up into the kidneys rather than passing through the body.
