Women’s Urinary, Bladder & Reproductive Health Concerns
Women experience a variety of complaints which require our specialist care, and these include:
- Post-menopausal side-effects - Menopause is a natural part of aging that typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 which causes a woman's estrogen levels to decline. Lowered estrogen levels can affect the functions of the bladder, urinary tract and pelvic floor. The results of POP may include urinary tract infections, pelvic organ prolapse or an overactive bladder. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in the form of tablets, skin patches, gels and implants relieve menopausal symptoms by replacing estrogen.
- Pelvic organ prolapse - POP occurs when one or more of the organs slips (uterus, bowel, bladder or even the top of the vagina) into the pelvis and the organ moves downward from its normal position and pushes into the vagina. Post-menopausal women and individuals who have recently given birth are more likely to develop Symptoms of POP include pain in the lower abdomen and vagina. There are several surgical options to help remedy the condition.
- Overactive bladder - This is a problem that nearly 40 percent of all women in the United States contract at some point in their lives. Consuming less caffeine, alcohol and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will reduce symptoms
Men’s Urological
Health Conditions
The complex structure of male anatomy may lead to specific health concerns including:
- Prostate cancer - This disease has the third highest fatality rate in the United States, with over ten percent of the male population developing the disease. As with all cancers, frequent exams and early detection present the best chance of recovery.
- Low testosterone - This is known as hypogonadism and may become an issue in mature men. Symptoms include chronic fatigue, and lifestyle factors or psychological problems may cause a lack of sexual drive. However, a diagnostic basis of late-onset hypogonadism is determined by your symptoms and the results of blood tests.
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia - Defines mild prostatic inflammation (BPH) is the medical term to describe an enlarged prostate, a condition that can affect how you pass urine. BPH is common in men aged over 50. It's not cancer and isn't typically a severe threat to health. Moderate to severe symptoms of BPH are treated with medication to reduce the size of the prostate and relax the bladder.
- Erectile dysfunction - ED is a common complaint and is easy to rectify.
- Testicular cancer - This is a very treatable condition with only one man dying of the illness in a group of 5000. Men with infertility problems are more likely to contract testicular cancer. It's imperative to have regular exams and to live an active and healthy life.
