Urological Cancers
Urologic cancers include cancers of the kidney, bladder, prostate and testicles. Prostate cancer, for example, affects one out of every six men at some time in his life — most often after age 50.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are small, hard deposits that form inside of your kidneys. Kidney stones are made of mineral; most commonly calcium and acid salts. Kidney stones have many potential causes.
Incontinence and Overactive Bladder
Urinary incontinence — the loss of bladder control — is a common and often embarrassing problem. The severity of urinary incontinence ranges from occasionally leaking urine when you cough or sneeze, to having an urge to urinate that’s so sudden and strong you don’t make it to a toilet in time.
Urinary Tract Infections
A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is an infection that begins in your urinary system. Your urinary system is composed of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Any part of your urinary system can become infected, but most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the urethra and the bladder.
