Urologists treat multiple disorders of the urinary tract and pelvic floor for both men and women.

The urologists at Alvarado are experienced and trained in the latest technologies used to treat these and other urologic conditions.

 

Fifteen percent of all couples will experience difficulty when trying to conceive a child. Diagnosis and treatment of male factor infertility is offered at Alvarado by specially trained urologists, including harvesting of sperm and vasectomy reversal.

 

Treatment of prostate cancer has been revolutionized with the introduction of laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Recovery and postoperative side effects are reduced using these technologies.

 

Male and Female Incontinence

 

Incontinence is any involuntary loss of urine and affects more than 13 million people in this country. Stress incontinence is leakage with activity, and childbirth and prostate surgery are the most common causes of stress incontinence in women and men, respectively. Urethral injections and slings are minimally invasive procedures for male and female stress incontinence and are performed by Alvarado urologists. Non-surgical treatment options are offered at Alvarado, as well.

Urodynamics and Voiding Dysfunction

Voiding dysfunction describes many urinary symptoms including frequency and urgency, which is also referred to as overactive bladder. When traditional therapies fail to successfully treat symptoms, a urodynamics evaluation often is indicated. This is a highly specialized functional test of the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) that helps diagnose the cause of symptoms and guide treatment. Alvarado urologists offer comprehensive, advanced treatments for overactive bladder including Botox injection and peripheral pelvic floor neurostimulation (Interstim).

Female Urology and Pelvic Reconstruction

 

Vaginal prolapse is herniation of the pelvic organs through the vaginal canal thought to be caused mainly by childbirth. Pelvic reconstruction includes “lifting” of the bladder and other organs back to their normal anatomic position. Specialized urologists at Alvarado treat female pelvic prolapse and other pelvic floor disorders requiring reconstruction of the urinary tract.
