What is Urology?
Urology is a medical field that specializes in evaluation and treatment of diseases of the urinary tract. This includes the kidneys, ureter, bladder and urethra in men and women, as well as the penis and prostate in men.
What are common conditions we treat in women?
Kidney stones, recurrent urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence (leaky bladder), overactive bladder, hematuria, and pelvic pain evaluation.
What are common conditions we treat in men?
Kidney stones, prostate enlargement symptoms, evaluation for elevated PSA, vasectomy, hematuria evaluation, low testosterone treatment, infertility evaluation and erectile dysfunction.
What are current recommendations on prostate screening?
The American Urological Association recommends prostate cancer screening with a digital rectal exam (DRE) and PSA testing in asymptomatic healthy men with a greater than 10 year life expectancy between the ages of 55 and 70. If you have a family history of prostate cancer or are African American, screening should begin earlier and you should have a baseline PSA test at 40 years of age.
What types of cancer treatments do you offer?
We evaluate and treat cancers involving the prostate, kidneys, bladder, ureter and adrenal gland. At Columbus Urology we have two fellowship trained surgeons who specialize in minimally invasive surgery and robotics to treat conditions.
