Common Urological Conditions

  • UTI: A urinary tract infection, or UTI, is an infection caused by bacteria in the lower urinary tract, the bladder and the urethra. Antibiotics are the most common form of treatment.
  • Kidney infection: A kidney infection is a specific type of urinary tract infection that affects the kidneys. This infection is caused by the same bacteria that can cause a UTI, but if not dealt with promptly can permanently damage the organ and spread to the blood stream.
  • Bladder infection: A bladder infection is the inflammation of the bladder caused by a reaction to drugs, radiation therapy, long-term catheter use or some feminine hygiene products. A bladder infection can be painful and without treatment can spread to the kidneys.
  • Urinary incontinence: Urinary incontinence describes an inability to control the bladder due to stress, overflow or other causes.
  • Erectile dysfunction: Erectile dysfunction is the occasional inability to maintain an erection.
