Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) affects most men at some time in their lives. Treatment includes medication, minimally invasive or surgical procedures.
Bladder Cancer
The bladder’s primary function is to store urine, the waste that is produced when the kidneys filter the blood. Urine passes from the two kidneys into the bladder through two tubes called ureters and urine leaves the bladder through another tube called the urethra.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is a medical condition that prevents a man from having an erection firm enough for sex.
Incontinence
Incontinence is defined as the involuntary loss of urine. Incontinence affects both sexes and may be due to a number of different causes. Incontinence treatment can range from muscle-relaxing medications and exercises to surgery and implants.
Infertility
Couples are said to be infertile if they have had at least one year of unprotected intercourse without successfully initiating a pregnancy.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are one of the most common conditions that urologists treat. Stones of the urinary tract are more common in males than in females and are more predominate in Caucasians than other ethnic groups.
Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease is a term used to describe a constellation of symptoms which affect the penis. The penis is comprised of two erectile rods called the corpora cavernosa and the urine tube called the urethra.
Prostate Cancer
Most prostate cancer begins in the gland cells in the prostate. Known as a 'silent killer' because men often do not have symptoms in early stages, prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer other than skin cancer among men in the United States and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men. If prostate cancer is detected early and before the cancer spreads, patients have a nearly 100% chance of survival after five years. Survival rates for all stages of prostate cancer have increased since the 1990s but stabilized in recent years.
Testicular Cancer
Texas Urology Specialists offers diagnosis and treatment for testicular cancer, a rare cancer that accounts for about one percent of all male tumors.
Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common afflictions that cause patients to go to the doctor. UTIs can affect men, women and children. However, it is predominantly women who get UTIs.
Venereal Warts
Condylomas are the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD). They are small lesions or "warts" which occur in the genital, oral and anal regions in sexually active individuals. They are caused by a virus called the human papilloma virus (HPV).
