Common Urological Issues

Prostate
Arkansas Urology treats all conditions of the prostate, including enlarged prostate, prostate cancer and prostate infection.

Kidney Stones
Healthy kidneys maintain your body’s proper chemical balance, but certain chemicals can build up in the kidneys and form a “stone,” which may stay in the kidney or move into the urinary tract.

Incontinence
More than 17 million Americans have urinary incontinence, with more than 80 percent of incontinence cases occurring in women.

Pelvic Prolapse
When an organ becomes displaced, or slips down in the body, it is know as prolapse. Pelvic prolapse, a type of pelvic floor disorder, affects about one-third of all women over their lifetime.

Overactive Bladder
Overactive bladder is a type of bladder-control problem that affects more than 33 million Americans of all ages. It occurs when the detrusor muscle of the bladder contracts more often than necessary, even when the bladder is not full.

Cancer of the Genitourinary System
Cancer can develop in any organ of the urinary system and the male reproductive system. As with other forms of cancer, detecting urological cancer early provides the greatest chance of successful treatment. 

Sexual Dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction is a broad category that affects both men and women directly.

Circumcision
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin from the head of the penis. It is most often performed just before a baby boy goes home form the hospital.

Vasectomy
A vasectomy is a procedure in which the vas deferens tube, which transports sperm from the testicles to the semen, is cut and removed, making a man sterile.

Infertility
But almost one in five couples has difficultly conceiving within one year of unprotected sexual intercourse. The issue is due to female infertility about 40 percent of the time and male infertility about 40 percent of the time.

Pediatric Urology
Pediatric urology is the diagnosis and treatment of congenital conditions that are present at birth and acquired urological conditions and diseases in children.
