Genito-Urinary Health Questions
Internists are your primary care experts for diagnosing and treating common GU issues like UTIs and BPH. We take a holistic view, investigating underlying causes like diabetes or kidney issues. This comprehensive approach ensures we treat the root problem, not just the symptom.
An internist manages your overall adult health and is the ideal first point of contact for most GU concerns. A urologist is a surgical sub-specialist who focuses exclusively on the urinary tract and male reproductive system. We provide comprehensive non-surgical care and work closely with urologists when specialized procedures are required.
BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, common in older men. It can cause urinary symptoms like a frequent urge to urinate. We manage BPH with medication and lifestyle advice and coordinate with urologists if procedures are needed.
A prostate health screening typically involves a discussion of urinary symptoms, a digital rectal exam (DRE), and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. These tools help us monitor your prostate health and detect potential issues early.
Your kidneys are vital for filtering waste and are heavily impacted by systemic conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes. As internists, we focus on protecting your kidney function by managing your overall health, which is a cornerstone of preventive care.
Erectile dysfunction is the inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sex. It's a very common issue and is often a sign of an underlying health problem like heart disease or diabetes. We provide a confidential evaluation to determine the cause and offer effective treatments, including medication and lifestyle counseling.
