Prostate & stones

Introduction Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition among aging men that can significantly affect quality of life, causing symptoms such as frequent urination, nocturia, and weak urinary stream. In managing BPH, especially in patients with comorbid conditions like cardiovascular disease, it is essential to balance the treatment options carefully to minimize risks and optimize outcomes. In today’s blog, I will discuss the Rezūm procedure—a minimally invasive treatment for BPH—and share insights from a recent case I managed: a 63-year-old male with cardiac disease. Understanding BPH and Its Impact on Patients with Cardiac Disease BPH involves the enlargement of the prostate gland, which can obstruct the flow of urine. If left untreated, BPH can lead to complications such as urinary retention and renal impairment. For patients with comorbidities like coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension, or other heart conditions, medical management with medications may not ...

  Diagnosis  If your doctor suspects that you have a kidney stone, you may have diagnostic tests and procedures, such as: Blood testing.  Blood tests may reveal too much calcium or uric acid and CREATININE in your blood. Blood test results help monitor the health of your kidneys and may lead your doctor to check for other medical conditions. Urine testing.  The 24-hour urine collection test may show that you're excreting too many stone-forming minerals or too few stone-preventing substances. For this test, your doctor may request that you perform two urine collections over two consecutive days. Imaging.  Imaging tests may show kidney stones in your urinary tract. High-speed or dual energy computerized tomography (CT) may reveal even tiny stones. Simple abdominal X-rays are used less frequently because this kind of imaging test can miss small kidney stones. Ultrasound, a noninvasive test that is quick and easy to perform, is another imaging option to diagnose kid...

  Prostate cancer screening: Should you get a PSA test? Making the decision to have a PSA test depends on a variety of factors. Here are some tips that can help you make a good decision. Cancer screening tests — including the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test to look for signs of prostate cancer — can be a good idea. Prostate cancer screening can help identify cancer early on, when treatment is most effective. But it isn't perfect. Some men may find that the downsides of prostate cancer screening outweigh the potential benefits. Ultimately, whether to have prostate cancer screening is something you should decide after discussing it with your UROLOGIST  considering your risk factors and weighing your personal preferences. Here's information to help you prepare for a conversation with your doctor. What is PSA?
