Stone Mountain Urology
Urological Cancer
The quicker a doctor catches cancer, the easier it is for the patient to beat it. It's important to seek treatment for the following urological cancers as soon as possible from a Stone Mountain urologist:
- Kidney cancer - One of the ten most common kinds of cancer in the U.S. is renal cancer or kidney cancer. Usually, it is treated with a partial or radial nephrectomy.
- Prostate cancer - Prostate cancer is one of the more serious cancers with the third highest death rate among types of cancer. 11.2 percent of men are likely to be diagnosed with this type of cancer at some point. Men who eat a lot of red meat, men who are older, men who are African American and men who have a specific gene mutation have an increased risk of developing prostate cancer.
- Testicular cancer - Testicular cancer is typically treatable. While one in 5,000 men will die from testicular cancer, one in 250 men will be diagnosed with it at some point.
- Bladder cancer - While bladder cancer happens to both men and women, it's more common among men. Eating foods that are high in antioxidants and abstaining from tobacco use are two things you can do to lower your risk.
Urinary Tract
& Bladder Issues
Unfortunately, for adults, urinary tract and bladder issues are common. Both male and female patients in Stone Mountain can come to us for treatment regarding:
- Overactive bladder - Patients who have overactive bladders often experience leakage and incontinence. This condition is often caused by infections, bladder abnormalities, an enlarged prostate, neurological disorders, excessive alcohol or caffeine or diabetes.
- Painful bladder syndrome or PBS - Many people often use the terms PBS and interstitial cystitis, but interstitial cystitis is a more specific condition. The mild to severe discomfort felt in the bladder in both conditions can make life a challenge.
- Kidney stones - While some kidney stones, which are crystalline salts forming in the kidneys or urinary tract, may be small and not noticeable, others may be extremely painful.
- Urethral stricture - When the urethra has become too narrow for smooth urine passage, a urethral stricture is present.
- Incontinence - Most patients will experience stress incontinence, overflow incontinence, fecal incontinence or urge incontinence. This is typically a symptom of a larger condition.
- Urinary tract infection or UTI - UTIs are a common condition that can typically be treated with antibiotics.
Male Reproductive & Fertility Issues
Both females and males have health concerns about sexuality and fertility. Each year in America, infertility is affecting more and more couples who wish to start a family. Advanced Urology treats the following male conditions:
- Low testosterone - Decreased libido and energy are common symptoms of hypogonadism or low testosterone. ED or erectile dysfunction - ED is a common condition for a lot of men, but it is fairly easy to treat.
- Male infertility - Male infertility can be a factor that affects 7.5 percent of couples.
Other Urological Conditions
There are a number of urological health conditions that are not cancer and are unrelated to reproductive health or the bladder/urinary tract. We also treat the following conditions for Stone Mountain residents:
- Prostate conditions - Men have to concern themselves with other prostate conditions besides prostate cancer. A number of men have issues with prostatitis (inflamed prostate) or benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). These two conditions have many of the same symptoms so it's crucial to have your prostate checked regularly.
- Pelvic organ prolapse - Pelvic organ prolapse or POP is a condition that affects women who have given birth by causing pain in the lower abdomen and vagina.
