Blood in the urine, or hematuria, may make the urine look red, brown, or pink. There may be blood every time you urinate or just from time to time. This can be a symptom of another problem, such as a kidney stone, kidney disease, or cancer in the kidneys and bladder.

Urinary incontinence is the accidental release of urine. It can happen when you cough, laugh, sneeze, lift something, change position, or do something that puts stress or strain on your bladder. Or you may have a sudden need to go to the bathroom but can’t get there in time. This problem can happen to both men and women, and our team of experts can help you to treat this problem.

Kidney stones are made of salts and minerals in the urine that stick together to form small “pebbles.” They are usually painless while they remain in the kidney. But they can cause severe pain when small pieces leave the kidney and travel through the narrow tubes (ureters) to the bladder. Our specialists can help determine if you would benefit from pain medication, if your stone can pass through your system, or if you would require other treatments.

While most men with prostate cancer have no symptoms, prostate cancer can be found during a regular checkup using a combination of a blood test called a PSA and a digital rectal exam. It’s important to catch this type of cancer in its early stages when it’s easier to treat.

While every man can struggle to have an erection from time to time, our specialists can help if you’re routinely struggling. Some men with erectile dysfunction can’t have an erection at any time, while others may not be able to have one that is firm enough or lasts long enough to complete intercourse.

Testosterone is a hormone produced by the human body. It’s mainly produced in men by the testicles. Low levels of testosterone can affect your sex drive, ability to have an erection, and ability to produce a normal amount of semen. Our specialists can help to diagnose and treat low testosterone levels.

The prostate gland surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. As the prostate gets bigger, it may squeeze or partly block the urethra. This often causes problems with urinating. You may experience a weak stream of urine or feel like you’re not fully emptying your bladder.

Prostatitis is swelling or infection of the prostate gland. It can cause pain at the tip of the penis or when urinating or ejaculating. You may also wake up frequently during the night to urinate or feel like you’re not fully emptying your bladder.
