What does bladder cancer treatment involve?
At 35, diagnosis of bladder cancer is unusual, so hopefully there is a good chance for every thing to turn out ok. The first step in treatment, if cancer is found, is removal with a scope though the bladder. 70% of bladder cancers can be treated as such, possibly followed by placement of medicine in the bladder. In more advanced cases, removal of bladder and chemotherapy may be necessary. READ MORE
What should I do if son's testicle hasn't descended?
He should see a urologist. It depends on where the testicle is, and was it ever developed. Sometimes they can try giving in injection (HCG) to help the testicle descent, though its effectiveness and use is controversial. If by one year it has not descended he needs an ultrasound to locate the testicle, and he should have a surgical procedure to pull it down and place it in the scrotum. People with undescended testicle have a much higher chance of developing cancer in their testicles (both testicles), and the testicle needs to be pulled down so it can properly bee self examined going forward. Whether the surgery, called orchiopexy, helps in future fertility or testosterone production is not as well understood. READ MORE
Does varicocele cause blood in semen?
No. Most of the time blood in the semen is due to prostatitis. READ MORE
Can kidney stones cause a urinary tract infection?
Kidney stones do not cause infection, though you can have both at the same time. When a stone has traveled down the ureter close to the bladder, its not uncommon to have symptoms similar to UTI (urge to go to bathroom and some burning). You may be able to use over-the-counter urine strips to check for infection or see a physician. READ MORE
How is a kidney stone dissolved?
For the most part, the only type of kidney stones that dissolve are uric acid stones, which comprise 15% of kidney stones. If your stones are uric acid, alkalinizing your urine can help dissolve the stone. READ MORE
Should my son be recircumcized?
Get a second opinion. Plenty of people in the world are not circumcised and do perfectly fine. It is not unusual to have some excess or tight foreskin at his age, especially if he still carries some of his baby weight. There is no urgency to having the surgery done, unless he is having repeated infections. READ MORE
Do kidney stones cause blood in urine?
Blood in urine should always be evaluated for a physician. Kidney stones can certainly do it, but so can a lot of other things, some of which are serious and time sensitive diseases. READ MORE
How serious is my prostate problem?
Depending on your age, and the symptoms you are having, it could be a host of issues. It is generally easy to rule out prostate problems, by trying on a medication such as flomax. Also you can have a urine flow test done at your urologists office to rule out sign of blockage, that can come from prostate or Urethra. Depending on your age, and other pertinent history, a further work up may be warranted. READ MORE
Why does it hurt when I have an erection?
If you have any area of bending of the penis with erection or narrowing, you may have Peyronies disease. Or it may be nothing. A urologist should be able to assess you. READ MORE
What is the best test for a prostate abscess?
MRI, CT scan with contrast, as well as a trans rectal ultrasound can all discover an abscess. A transrectal ultrasound is not advisable however, if you are having active pain. your Doctor has made a very good recommendation to you, and you should follow it. READ MORE
What causes males to have blood in urine?
Blood in urine always requires evaluation by a urologist. It can be as simple as an infection, or a stone, or it could be something more serious. Sometimes a man with heavy exercise or physical activity may see blood in the urine with no underlying pathology. READ MORE
Uti with ecoli antibiotic resistant
UTI in men are unusual and can be sign some blockage in the path of urine, due to for example an enlarged prostate or scarring in the urethra, leading to incomplete emptying of the bladder. E.Coli, which is resistant to some antibiotics, is not uncommon. If Keflex is working for you, that's a good sign. If you are prone to infection, you should have a work-up to see if there is an underlying cause, including an ultrasound of the kidney and bladder, possibly a CT scan, and a cystoscopy (look inside your bladder). You may also benefit from a limited course of urine sterilizers, such as Urex, or even suppressive antibiotics if this is a very frequent problem. As for the spots, I can't think of a connection. READ MORE
Is benign prostatic hyperplasia more likely to occur as I age?
Enlargment of prostate is much like thinning of hair. Every man experiences it to some degree as they age, and it tends to be progressive. However, the extent and timing of it is highly variable. Treatment is warranted when the symptoms become troublesome, or there is evidence that its affecting your health (having blood in urine, having frequent infections, unable to urinate, develop bladder stone, retain too much urine in bladder). A low animal fat diet may slow down the growth to some extent. Remember, Heart healthy is prostate healthy. READ MORE
What can I do to prevent the return of hydrocele?
Recurrent hydroceles happen in 5-10% of patients after surgery. Unfortunately, it is more common if a second surgery is needed. Hydrocele can occur due to infection, but they usually resolve when infection is cleared. Repeated trauma, may also contribute to it. However, beyond that there is not much you can do to prevent it from coming back. READ MORE
Does homeopathic therapy exist for interstitial cystitis?
Your best choice would be managing your diet as a tool. Google for IC Diet. Avoid caffeine, spicy food, and citrus products. Limit stress. consider biofeedback and Kegel exercises. READ MORE
