Let us face it; men are not good at health screening compared to their counterparts, females. They keep ignoring, but it does not mean the problem will go away no matter how much you wish it to go away. Dr. Jaspreet Singh in New Windsor provides comprehensive evaluation and expert care such as minimally invasive surgery for urinary issues, prostate issues, and any problem of the male reproductive system.
The following are eight common male urological conditions resulting from illness, injury, aging, and a congenital disability that Dr. Singh helps you overcome and alleviate their symptoms.
Erectile dysfunction (ED)
Men often avoid ED subjects due to embarrassment. It is extremely common in men as they get older or due to medical issues. ED is a condition in which a man has difficulties in getting and maintaining an erection.
Medical and physiological issues cause it. It can be treated by medication, testosterone replacement, surgery, physiological counseling, acupuncture, and lifestyle changes such as losing weight, avoiding smoking, increasing exercise, and reducing stress levels.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
BPH refers to an enlarged prostate and is common in men as they get old. The prostate enlarges, causing problems with urination.
It is associated with the urge to urinate, difficulties during urination, weak urination stream, dribbling at the end, and bladder fullness due to incomplete urine emptying.
It is treated with a minimally invasive Urolift procedure and photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP).
Prostatitis
It is a condition that affects many men, and it usually causes swelling and inflammation of the prostate. It causes fever, chills, painful urination, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, and low back pain.
It is treated with prescribed antibiotics.
Urinary tract infection (UTI)
It causes painful urination, bloody urine, and cloudy urine. It is treated with a round of prescribed antibiotics.
Male Infertility
It is the inability to conceive a child. It is caused by genetic defects, descended testicles, abnormal sperm production, and health problems such as diabetes, mumps, trauma, and testicle surgery.
Proper diagnosis by your urologist will help in determining the cause and help create a perfect treatment plan.
Vasectomy
It is a surgical procedure for male sterilization and permanent contraception. Dr. Singh uses a traditional laparoscopic procedure and a no-scalpel vasectomy procedure to sever male vas deferens to prevent sperms from entering the urethra hence preventing fertilization.
Kidney stones
It occurs when minerals, uric acid, and cysteine accumulate in the kidney and any part of the reproductive organ.
The stone can be excruciatingly painful but is easily diagnosed.
Medications are used to treat small stones while the large ones are surgically removed to prevent blockage of urine from flowing properly.
Prostate cancer
The leading cause of cancer death in men is prostate cancer. It occurs when cells in the prostate gland start to grow uncontrollably and abnormally. Age, race, and family history are the main risk factors for men developing this disease.
It is treated with surgery, radiation therapy, and active surveillance depending on the cancer stage.
