The goal is to find "significant" prostate cancer, not all prostate cancers. Following a PSA trend is the best way to avoid finding "insignificant" or dormant low grade cancer. One of the most common questions we are asked during an office visit is whether PSA, or Prostate Specific Antigen, is reliable or worth doing.
A specific type of kidney obstruction that is seen not uncommonly in the adult population, and is common in the pediatric population, is called a ureteropelvic junction obstruction, or UPJ obstruction. We will not spend too much time here discussing the problem of pediatric UPJ obstruction other than to say it is usually found on pre-natal ultrasound, is the most common cause of a baby having a dilated kidney on such an ultrasound, and often requires surgery to correct it.
Another urologic condition we see and treat regularly is urethral strictures. A stricture is primarily a problem of the male urethra, or the tube that carries urine through the prostate and penis. A stricture is essentially a scar that limits urine flow. The male urethra has several distinct anatomic segments, and it is valuable to go over them here briefly.
Male urinary incontinence is a much less common problem than female incontinence, and the causes tend to be quite different. Let's talk about the different causes for urinary incontinence. In women, there are generally two types - stress and urge incontinence. Stress incontinence is most commonly a result of vaginal laxity, a structural problem where the bladder gets less and less supported by the anterior wall of the vagina.

Saw Dr. Klos after getting the run around from a couple other doctors. She listened to everything I had to say, talked through a couple of plausible scenarios, and came up with a game plan without making me uncomfortable or embarrassed. Can't stress that enough, since I hate going to doctors. I hope you never need a urologist, but if you do, I finally found a good one to recommend.
