Urology Care in Zephyrhills

Since prostate cancer usually doesn’t cause noticeable symptoms, especially in early stages, the American Cancer Society offers suggestions on when conversations about prostate cancer screening should begin as a general rule. But in the event you do experience any of these symptoms, you should talk with your doctor right away:

• Back pain
• Blood in your urine
• Changes in your urine flow or frequency
• Pain while urinating
• Pelvic pain

When no symptoms are present, you should talk with your doctor about prostate cancer screening at:

• Age 40 for men at high risk (family history of prostate cancer, especially more than one close relative)
• Age 45 for men at high risk (African American men or those with one close relative with prostate cancer)
• Age 50 for men at average risk

Rehabilitation for pelvic health focuses on improving the function of your pelvic floor muscles and pelvic girdle. These muscles are essential for supporting your core, bowel, bladder and sexual function. If you suffer from any of the following conditions, pelvic floor therapy may be able to help you:

• Endometriosis
• Fecal Incontinence
• Interstitial Cystitis
• Painful Bladder Syndrome
• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
• Prolapse
• Stress or Mixed Urinary Incontinence
• Urge Incontinence
• Other Painful Issues of the Pelvic Area

We understand the need for modesty and have private treatment rooms for complete discretion. Your pelvic floor therapist will offer personalized treatments to help you strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and restore a better quality of life.

Sonablate® HIFU

Utilizing high-intensity focused ultrasound, or HIFU, the Sonablate HIFU procedure targets and destroys diseased prostate tissue while leaving the surrounding, healthy tissue unharmed.

UroLift

UroLift treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by lifting and holding the enlarged prostate tissue so it no longer blocks the urethra. This procedure doesn’t require heating, cutting or removal of the prostate tissue, so you can likely go home the same day without a catheter.
