Facing urological challenges can be both uncomfortable and concerning. At ChristianaCare, we understand your unique, urological needs and are committed to providing compassionate, personalized care. Our experienced urologists have been helping patients like you for over 30 years, addressing a wide range of issues related to the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and more. Let us work together to find the solutions that are right for you.
Bladder Conditions in Men and Women
- Frequent Urination
- Blood in Your Urine
- Leaking Urine when You Cough or Sneeze
- Kidney Stones
An overactive bladder can disrupt your daily life and lead to feelings of embarrassment. If you’re struggling with bladder control issues or experiencing urinary leakage, our urologists can accurately diagnose the underlying bladder incontinence causes and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you regain control.
If you're experiencing pelvic pain in addition to frequent urination, you may be suffering from bladder pain syndrome (interstitial cystitis). Our urologists are dedicated to improving your urinary tract health by addressing overactive bladder and other related conditions.
Urinary incontinence, or the accidental leakage of urine, can be a frustrating and embarrassing condition. It often occurs due to weakened pelvic floor muscles, which can be caused by factors such as childbirth, aging, or certain medical conditions.
Whether you experience stress incontinence (leakage during physical activity) or urge incontinence (sudden, uncontrollable urges to urinate), our urologists can help. We specialize in diagnosing and treating pelvic floor dysfunction and can develop a personalized treatment plan - that may include pelvic floor physical therapy - to improve your quality of life.
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 kidney stone treatments.
Urologic Cancers in Men and Women
- KIDNEY CANCER
- PROSTATE CANCER
Our kidney cancer specialists are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with this complex condition. We'll conduct thorough evaluations to determine the extent of the cancer and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Whether the cancer is localized to the kidney or has spread to other organs, we'll work closely with you to explore all available treatment options, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these approaches.
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.
Urological Health and Procedures for Men
- Vasectomies
- Erectile Dysfunction
- Decreased Sex Drive
- Abnormalities in the Penis or Testicles
- Enlarged Prostate Gland (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
- Swelling of the Prostate (Prostatitis)
If you're considering permanent contraception, the vasectomy procedure may be a suitable option. During the procedure, a doctor cuts or blocks the tubes called the vas deferens that carry sperm from the testicles to the penis. This keeps sperm from reaching a woman’s egg to make a baby when ejaculation occurs during sex.
Vasectomy is a permanent form of birth control for men. Despite popular misconceptions, it does not affect your sexual desire, ability to perform, or the sensation of ejaculation. You will still be able to experience the same level of pleasure during sex, and you will continue to produce normal amounts of semen.
Are you wondering how to fix erectile dysfunction? You are not alone.
This common condition can significantly impact your sexual satisfaction and overall well-being. Our ED doctors are highly trained and experienced in diagnosing and treatments for erectile dysfunction.
Whether you're unable to achieve an erection at all or struggle to maintain a firm erection during intercourse, we can help. Our comprehensive approach to sexual dysfunction addresses both the physical and psychological factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
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 urology doctors can help to diagnose and treat low testosterone levels.
An enlarged prostate gland, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition that affects many men as they age. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. As the prostate grows, it can compress the urethra, leading to various urinary symptoms including frequent urination, difficulty starting or stopping the flow of urine and more.
Our top urologists offer a range of effective treatments for BPH including Prostate Artery Embolization, a minimally invasive procedure.
Prostatitis a condition characterized by inflammation or infection of the prostate gland, can cause significant discomfort. Symptoms may include pain or discomfort in the pelvic area, painful urination or ejaculation and more.
Our urology doctors can help diagnose prostatitis and recommend appropriate treatment options, which may include:
