  • Can kidney stones cause a urinary tract infection?

    Kidney stones can harbor bacteria and cause UTIs. If one of the stones gets dislodged in the ureter and block the passage of urine, then it may become a surgical emergency. If you develop a fever in the setting of a UTI and obstructing ureteral stone, then you need to be admitted to the hospital with likely surgical decompression of your kidneys. This can be done by placing a stent or a nephrostomy tube. Dr. Rad READ MORE

  • Is there a remedy to control urinating in the night?

    Natural remedies tend to help very mild symptoms and most have shown not to make any clinically significant difference at all. In regards to nocturia, or frequent urination at night, there could be an underlying medical problem that needs to be evaluated by a urologist. Nocturia in men may have a different etiology than in women. There are a wide range of treatments available, but a full evaluation is needed first. Dr. J. S. Rad READ MORE

  • Experiencing painful urination with slight blood discharge?

    Based on your age and symptoms, you most likely have/had a urinary tract infection (UTI). A simple visit to your local family physician and a urine sample can provide the diagnosis. Your doctor can then send in antibiotics if appropriate. If a urinary tract infection is ruled out, then visit a urologist to further evaluate your symptoms. Dr. J. S. Rad READ MORE

  • Is weak urine flow a sign of a urinary tract infection?

    Varicoceles are one of the most common causes of infertility in men and can be easily fixed.

You should see a urologist to further evaluate whether fixing your varicocele would be beneficial. READ MORE

  • Is natural medicine a good way to treat prostatitis?

    Prostatitis is an inflammatory condition of the prostate gland and may not be infectious in etiology. Chronic irritation may exacerbate symptoms and antibiotics may not be helpful in such situations. Using a donut cushion to take pressure off of the perineum and taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen may help with symptoms. Seeing a urologist may be beneficial. Dr. Shakuri-Rad READ MORE

  • How is a urine infection managed in a diabetic person?

    Patients with diabetes have a weakened immune response and should be very closely monitored when a urinary tract infection is suspected.

    A varicocele forms due to dilation of the veins that drain blood from the testicle. They are more common on the left side and do not always cause problems.

Blood in the semen, or hematospermia, is usually a self-limiting problem, but can sometimes be an indication of prostate infection or prostatitis or even prostate cancer. If you see blood in the semen, you should visit your local urologist for further evaluation. READ MORE

  • Blood in semen. Is this bad?
