Women’s Urological Health Conditions
While most people think of men and men's health clinics when they think of urologists, women also have urological health concerns. We treat a number of urological conditions for women, including:
- Pelvic organ prolapse - The condition that affects the female anatomy after a woman has given birth is known as pelvic organ prolapse or POP. Pelvic organ prolapse can also occur as a result of natural aging. When women experience this condition, they will feel a pressure in their lower abdomen or vagina. This sometimes can cause mild or severe pain. Fortunately, there are many treatments available including uterine prolapse surgery, posterior prolapse surgery and anterior prolapse surgery.
- Post-menopausal side-effects - A drop in estrogen levels can cause many symptoms including; hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, itching and the loss of sexual drive. Estrogen helps control cholesterol production; heart disease is also a significant condition that can arise with consistently low estrogen levels. The risk of osteoporosis also rises, making women more vulnerable to bone fractures.
Men’s Urological
Health Conditions
There are quite a few urological issues that men have, and we treat many of them at Advanced Urology, including:
- Reproductive and fertility health - One in every six couples trying to conceive must cope with infertility issues. Male infertility is the problem in half of those cases. Male reproductive challenges frequently happen due to a low production of testosterone that impairs sperm production.
- Prostate conditions - The prostate is a small gland located between the penis and the bladder, which surrounds the urethra. Symptoms of prostate cancer don't typically appear until the prostate is enlarged enough to affect the urethra that carries urine from the bladder out of the penis. An inflamed prostate may lead to an increased need to go to the toilet or the need to strain while urinating. Men with an enlarged prostate may also undergo the sensation that the bladder is never empty.

Other Urological
Health Conditions
- Urinary tract infection or UTI - UTI's are ubiquitous. They can be painful and unpleasant, but they tend to clear up with a course of antibiotics. UTI's are more common in women than in men. Symptoms may include pain or a burning sensation when urinating, a frequent need to urinate or a pain in the lower abdomen. UTI's symptoms are similar to those of several other conditions, and it's best to consult your physician if you encounter repeat symptoms.
- Kidney stones - Kidney stones are hard crystalline salts that form in the urinary tract or kidneys. Small kidney stones may go undetected and leave the body in the urine stream. It's relatively common for a more massive stone to block part of the urinary system, resulting in severe pain in the lower back or abdomen. A kidney stone may also result in blood in the urine, vomiting or painful urination.
