Experienced Urologic Care on the Treasure Coast

You should see a urologist if you have frequent urination, painful urination, blood in the urine, trouble emptying your bladder, recurring UTIs, kidney stone symptoms, or changes in urinary control. A urologist can evaluate the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and urinary tract to find the cause and recommend the right treatment. Bower Urology provides diagnosis and treatment for urinary disorders, prostate conditions, kidney stones, and related urologic concerns.

Blood in the urine can be caused by UTIs, kidney stones, prostate issues, bladder irritation, or more serious conditions such as bladder cancer. The American Cancer Society notes that blood in the urine is often the first sign of bladder cancer, even when it is not painful. Any visible blood or repeated microscopic blood in the urine should be evaluated by a urologist.

Common enlarged prostate symptoms include frequent urination, waking up at night to urinate, weak urine flow, difficulty starting urination, urgency, and feeling like the bladder does not fully empty. Bower Urology treats BPH using options such as medical management, Urolift, TURP, and Aquablation, depending on the patient’s condition and goals.

Aquablation is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia, or enlarged prostate. It uses a high-velocity water jet to remove excess prostate tissue and help improve urinary flow. Bower Urology lists Aquablation as one of the BPH procedures offered for appropriate patients.

Kidney stone treatment depends on the stone’s size, location, symptoms, and whether it can pass naturally. Treatment may include medication, shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, laser lithotripsy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Bower Urology provides kidney stone treatments, including shockwave lithotripsy, laser lithotripsy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Kidney stone pain may need urgent medical attention if it is severe, comes with fever or chills, causes nausea and vomiting, or is paired with difficulty urinating. These symptoms may suggest blockage or infection. A urologist can determine whether the stone can pass or needs treatment such as lithotripsy or endoscopic removal.

Erectile dysfunction can be related to blood flow, hormones, medications, nerve problems, diabetes, heart health, stress, or prostate-related issues. A urologist can evaluate possible causes and recommend treatment options based on the patient’s health history and goals. The American Urological Association provides clinical guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of ED.

An elevated PSA does not always mean prostate cancer. PSA can rise because of prostate enlargement, inflammation, infection, recent procedures, or cancer. A urologist can review PSA levels, symptoms, age, risk factors, and whether additional testing is needed. Bower Urology lists elevated PSA and prostate cancer among the conditions it evaluates and treats.

Treatment for urinary incontinence or overactive bladder may include lifestyle changes, medication, bladder training, pelvic floor therapy, bladder Botox, or sacral neuromodulation. Bower Urology provides treatment for urinary disorders and lists advanced options such as bladder Botox and sacral neuromodulation.

Yes. Bower Urology lists robotic-assisted surgery using the Da Vinci Xi system as part of its advanced surgical expertise. Robotic and minimally invasive techniques may be used for certain urologic cancers, reconstruction, and other complex urologic conditions when appropriate for the patient.
