Urology

Urology involves the diagnosis and treatment of problems of the bladder, prostate, kidneys, and urinary tract. A urologist is a specialist doctor who is trained to evaluate the genital and urinary tract which includes the kidneys, bladder and genital structures in men and women and the prostate and testicles in men.

While urinary and sexual problems can cause emotional as well as physical distress, it’s important to know that there are many medical treatments now available that can help relieve and manage these health conditions. At Pacific Medical Centers urologists diagnose and treat a wide variety of male and female urological conditions including kidney stones, cancer, erectile dysfunction, prostate problems and urinary incontinence.

Your urologist will do a comprehensive review of your symptoms and medical history. Then, when appropriate, other tests may be ordered such as a urinalysis or a blood test to see if infection is present or whether sugar or proteins are present which may indicate diabetes or other problems involving the kidneys. More sophisticated tests such as a CT scan or MRI may also be ordered. These tests are non-invasive and not painful. Treatment depends upon the condition and may involve medication, surgery, behavior modification or observation. Whatever the condition, urologists at Pacific Medical Centers provide caring as well as comprehensive treatment.
