Prostate conditions

Have you given up activities you enjoy because you're afraid of an accident? ·
Do you get up several times each night to urinate?
Does it sometimes feel like you need to urinate, but can't?
 If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, you may be suffering from a prostate problem.
There are several types of prostate problems. Your doctor can help you find out if your symptoms are signs of a prostate condition or if they're due to another problem, such as a bladder infection. Symptoms can have a wide range of causes and are not always signs of prostate problems. In many cases, behavioral changes or medications can relieve the symptoms or treat the causes of your discomfort.
If you have symptoms, take the quiz to learn more about potential causes.

We've been hearing about vasectomies for years, and may think we know all about this procedure for male sterilization.
But, did you know that now there is a method that doesn't involve using a scalpel to make incisions, but rather an instrument that makes just one small puncture? Since there is no incision, no stitches are required. The procedure is faster, and permits a quicker recovery.
And were you aware that vasectomy reversal is becoming more common? Specialists in microsurgery have developed techniques that are increasingly successful in reversing a vasectomy, even if it was performed many years earlier. This is a truly exciting development for men whose life situation has changed and who now want to be able to father children.
Dr. Robert Finnerty of Northwest Urology Center is considered to be an expert in the United States on surgical vasectomy reversals. He has performed nearly 2,000 such procedures, and is often called upon as a consultant in difficult cases. He is pleased to share his knowledge and experience in this section.

Impotence Center

Impotence Center

It's been a hushed subject for years. Men won't even talk about it with their best friends, much less their doctor. They think that they have some sort of mental or emotional problem preventing them from successfully engaging in sexual intercourse. The male withdraws from close contact with his partner, and figures he just has to live with this problem.
And his partner begins to think that she no longer excites him, and maybe even that he's found someone else to satisfy his sexual desires. She thinks it's her fault, and feels that their relationship is slowly falling apart.

You just went to the bathroom an hour ago. And now you urgently need to go again. But, very little urine comes out, and it has a terrible odor. And there's a burning sensation. This started yesterday, and it's happening more and more often. It seems like it's even getting worse.

UROLOGICAL BASKETS

UROLOGICAL BASKETS

 

Abstract

With a new generation of flexible ureterorenoscopes, a new area in stone management is emerging. Limitation of vision with these new instruments is often caused by insufficient irrigation flow, especially when using instruments like stone baskets, resulting from partial obstruction of the working and irrigation channel with these instruments. Empirically, new available smaller stone baskets seem to dramatically improve irrigation and therefore vision in clinical use. The goal of this study was to show objective differences in basket diameters and flow rates in an in vitro setting.

DIAGNOSIS

DIAGNOSIS

Patient history
Patient history should be taken and recorded for all important information with possible connection to BC,
including risk factors and history of suspect symptoms.
5.2 Symptoms
Haematuria is the most common finding in NMIBC. Ta, T1 tumours do not cause bladder pain and rarely
present with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). In patients who do complain of these symptoms, particularly
in those with irritative LUTS refractory to symptomatic treatment, CIS might be suspected.
5.3 Physical examination

EPIDEMIOLOGY

EPIDEMIOLOGY

 

Bladder Cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy of the urinary tract and the seventh most common

cancer in men and the 17th in women. The worldwide age standardised incidence rate is 9 per 100,000 for men

UROLGICAL STENTS

UROLGICAL STENTS

 A ureteral stent, sometimes as well called ureteric stent, is a thin tube inserted into the ureter to prevent or treat obstruction of the urine flow from the kidney. The length of the stents used in adult patients varies between 24 to 30 cm. Additionally, stents come in differing diameters or gauges, to fit different size ureters. The stent is usually inserted with the aid of a cystoscope. One or both ends of the stent may be coiled to prevent it from moving out of place, this is called a JJ stent, double J stent or pig-tail stent.

UROLOGICAL CATHETERS

UROLOGICAL CATHETERS

In urinary catheterization ("cathing" for short), a latex, polyurethane, or silicone tube known as a urinary catheter is inserted into a patient's bladder via the urethra. Catheterization allows the patient's urine to drain freely from the bladder for collection. It may be used to inject liquids used for treatment or diagnosis of bladder conditions. A clinician, often a nurse, usually performs the procedure, but self-catheterization is also possible. The catheter may be a permanent one (indwelling catheter), or an intermittent catheter removed after each catheterization.
