Frequently asked questions

  • What is an enlarged prostate?
    Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the enlargement of the prostate, especially among older men. Symptoms of BPH include a hesitant, interrupted, weak stream; urgency and leaking or dribbling; and frequent urination, especially at night. It is important to tell your doctor if you have urinary problems such as those described above. The symptoms can also signal other, more serious conditions.
  • What are kidney and ureteral stones?
    A kidney stone is a solid piece of material that forms in a kidney when substances that are normally found in the urine – such as calcium, oxalate or phosphorous — become highly concentrated. A stone may stay in the kidney or travel down the urinary tract. Kidney stones, which vary in size, may pass on their own or get stuck along the urinary tract, blocking the flow of urine and causing severe pain or bleeding.
  • What are the urological conditions that can affect children?
    The most common disorders are problems urinating, urinary tract infections, and malformed reproductive organs and testes. Our urologist provides care for children of all ages and is experienced in diagnosing and treating pediatric urologic conditions.
  • What is urinary incontinence?
    Urinary incontinence is loss of bladder control. Symptoms can range from mild leaking to uncontrollable wetting. They can become more common with age and are more common in women. Poor bladder control may be related to weak pelvic floor muscles, incontinence, a prostate disorder or nerve damage.
  • What are urinary tract infections (UTIs)?
    Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can occur in several different locations of the lower urinary tract, including the bladder, kidneys, ureters and urethra. Most UTIs are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and then the bladder. Infections most commonly develop in the bladder but can spread to the kidneys.
