Comprehensive Urologic Services

A urologist treats conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, prostate, ureters, urethra, urinary tract, and male reproductive system. Common reasons to see a urologist include kidney stones, blood in the urine, enlarged prostate symptoms, erectile dysfunction, urinary tract infections, urinary frequency, urinary incontinence, elevated PSA, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and testicular concerns.

You should see a urologist if you have recurring urinary symptoms, blood in your urine, kidney stone pain, elevated PSA, prostate problems, erectile dysfunction, incontinence, frequent UTIs, testicular pain, or symptoms that do not improve with initial treatment. A urologist can provide specialized testing, diagnosis, and treatment options for urinary and reproductive health concerns.

Blood in the urine, also called hematuria, can happen for several reasons, including kidney stones, urinary tract infections, prostate conditions, bladder irritation, or urologic cancers. Even if there is no pain, blood in the urine should be evaluated by a urologist to identify the cause and rule out serious conditions.

Common symptoms of an enlarged prostate, or BPH, include frequent urination, weak urine stream, difficulty starting urination, waking up at night to urinate, urgency, and feeling like the bladder does not fully empty. A urologist can evaluate the prostate and recommend treatment options based on symptom severity and overall health.

An elevated PSA does not always mean prostate cancer. PSA levels can rise because of an enlarged prostate, inflammation, infection, recent procedures, or prostate cancer. A urologist can review PSA results, risk factors, symptoms, and medical history to determine whether monitoring, additional testing, imaging, or biopsy may be needed.

Kidney stone treatment depends on the size, location, and severity of symptoms. Some stones may pass with medication and increased fluids, while others may need procedures such as shockwave lithotripsy, laser lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, or kidney stone surgery. A urologist can recommend the best option based on imaging and symptoms.

Urinary frequency may be a medical problem if it happens suddenly, disrupts sleep, comes with urgency, pain, leakage, blood in the urine, or difficulty emptying the bladder. Possible causes include urinary tract infections, overactive bladder, prostate enlargement, bladder irritation, or other urinary disorders.

Urinary incontinence treatment may include lifestyle changes, bladder training, medication, pelvic floor therapy, bladder Botox injections, urethral bulking agents, or neuromodulation procedures. The right treatment depends on the type of incontinence, severity of leakage, and underlying cause.

Bower Urology evaluates and treats urologic cancers such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and testicular cancer. Care may include diagnostic testing, cancer evaluation, treatment planning, surgical options, and ongoing follow-up based on the patient’s condition and diagnosis.
