Women’s Urological Health Conditions
Choosing an empathetic urologist can feel like a monumental task, but we're here to aid you in your journey to managing your health. We treat women for many different urological conditions, including:
- Pelvic organ prolapse - Pelvic organ prolapse is when one or more of the organs in the pelvis slip down from their normal position and project into the vagina. It can be the womb, bowel, bladder or top of the vagina that droop causing prolapse. Symptoms can usually be improved with pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle changes, but sometimes surgery is needed.
- Urinary and bladder concerns- Women are more at risk of contracting bladder and urinary issues due to their anatomy. Females have shorter urethrae and bacteria that generally grow in the bowel travels quickly to the urethra after using the toilet or engaging in sexual intercourse. Patients can reduce their risk of infection by always wiping from front to back and thoroughly washing up after intimate
Men’s Urological
Health Conditions
There are quite a few issues that men have concerning the kidneys, bladder, urinary tract, and other conditions. We treat many of them at Advanced Urology including:
- Prostate conditions - The prostate is a small gland in the pelvis, found only in men. About the size of a tangerine. The gland is located between the penis and the bladder and surrounds the urethra. Symptoms of prostate cancer do not usually appear until the prostate is large enough to affect the urethra that carries urine from the bladder out of the penis. Symptoms may involve an increased need to urinate, or the need to strain while urinating; it may also produce the feeling that your bladder cannot be entirely emptied.
- Reproductive and fertility health - One in every six couples trying to conceive must tackle infertility issues, and in half of all those cases, male infertility is the culprit. Often infertility happens because of a low production of sperm that impairs sperm functionality.
- Erectile dysfunction - ED is another common condition found routinely among men. This is usually due to stress, tiredness, anxiety or drinking too much alcohol. Occasional erectile dysfunction is nothing to stress over. However, if it happens frequently, it may be caused by physical or emotional problems. In these cases, it's essential that the patient see a Cumming urologist right away to receive treatment as soon as possible.
Bladder & Urinary Tract Issues
At Advanced Urology, we excel at helping both men and women with the following bladder and urinary tract issues:
- Overactive bladder - The cause of this condition is the overactivity of the muscle in the bladder that pushes urine out. It can be due to diabetes, abnormalities in the bladder, infections, neurological disorders, medications, an enlarged prostate, or the excess consumption of caffeine or alcohol.
- Painful bladder syndrome or PBS - Many people think of PBS and interstitial cystitis as the same illness, although PBS is a broader term. Characteristics of both conditions include pelvic pain (felt below your belly button), a sudden, strong or frequent urge to urinate and waking up several times during the night to go to the bathroom.
- Urinary tract infection or UTI - UTI's are ubiquitous in adults of all ages and can typically be treated with antibiotics. UTI's can affect different parts of your urinary tract, including your bladder, urethra or kidneys.
- Urethral stricture - This happens when the urethra is too narrow to allow for the easy passage of urine. Sometimes this is caused by inflammation; many other cases are linked to infection or injury.
- Incontinence - The most common sources of incontinence are due to stress, an overpowering urge to urinate, and may be due to pressure from an overflow or urine or fecal blockages. Incontinence is often a symptom of a more significant
- Kidney stones - Kidney stones are hard crystalline salts that form in the urinary tract or kidneys. Small kidney stones may go undetected and be passed out painlessly in the urine. But it's relatively common for a stone to block part of the urinary system. A blockage can cause severe pain in the abdomen or groin and sometimes cause a urinary tract infection (UTI).

Other Urological
Health Conditions
There are several other urological health conditions experienced by both men and women such as:
- Urological cancer - As with any form of cancer, if you suspect you have any of the urological cancers, it's vital that you contact your physician as soon as possible. The sooner it's detected, whether it's bladder, kidney cancer, prostate gland or testicular cancer, the sooner you're treated, the better your chances of defeating it.
- Kidney stones - Kidney stones are created by excess uric acid, struvite or calcium oxalate, which create crystals ranging in size that must exit your body through the flow of urine. Sometimes kidney stones pass without any difficulty or knowledge of the entity. However, many people move sizeable kidney stones which cause significant pain.
- Hematuria - Hematuria describes blood in the urine. An individual may notice their urine is a reddish or brown color. However, many people can't see the blood present in their urine without a microscope. Microscopic hematuria is a standard issue divided into two subcategories: painless and painful. Painless hematuria is typically caused by physical stress or benign prostatic bleeding but can be a symptom of kidney, ureter or bladder cancer. Painful hematuria is generally due to infection of the kidneys, bladder and prostate gland.
