Urological Cancer
Cancer is easier for a patient to beat when it's caught in the early stages, no matter what type of cancer it is. In the event that you are exhibiting symptoms of any of the following urological cancers, you need to see a Brookhaven urologist as soon as possible:
- Prostate cancer - 11.2 percent of men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point, and it has a higher mortality rate than other cancers. Prostate cancer is more likely for men with a specific gene mutation, African American men, older men and men who eat a lot of red meat.
- Testicular cancer - Testicular cancer is one of the more treatable types of cancer. While one in 250 men will develop it at some point, only one in 5,000 men will die because of it.
- Bladder cancer - Although bladder cancer happens more among men, it affects both men and women. Patients who don't use tobacco and eat a healthy diet are at a decreased risk for bladder cancer.
- Kidney cancer - Kidney cancer or renal cancer is among the ten most common forms of cancer in America. In most cases, the preferred treatment is surgery, usually a partial nephrectomy or a radial nephrectomy.
Bladder & Urinary Tract Issues
For Brookhaven patients with the following bladder and urinary tract issues, we are happy to provide treatment:
- Incontinence - The most typical types of incontinence are urge, overflow, stress and fecal. Often, this is a symptom of a larger condition.
- Urinary tract infection or UTI - Adults of all ages commonly experience UTIs, and they can usually be treated with antibiotics.
- Painful bladder syndrome or PBS - Interstitial cystitis and PBS are often used interchangeably, but PBS is a broader term. Both conditions can be very challenging, and both conditions can cause severe discomfort in the bladder.
- Kidney stones - Kidney stones are the hard crystalline salts that form in the kidneys or urinary tract. They may be small and unnoticeable or large and extremely painful.
- Urethral stricture - When the urethra becomes too small for regular urine passage, a urethral stricture is usually present.
- Overactive bladder - Overactive bladder is a condition that is known to cause leakage and incontinence. It is frequently caused by abnormalities in the bladder, infections, diabetes, excess consumption of alcohol or caffeine, an enlarged prostate or neurological disorders.

There are other urological conditions that are not cancerous, related to reproductive health or related to the urinary tract. For Brookhaven citizens, we also treat the following urological conditions:
