Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is nothing to be embarrassed about and is usually easily treated. The first step is to talk to Dr. Clavell and learn your options.
Peyronie’s Disease
When scar tissue develops under the skin of the penis due to trauma or minor injury, Peyronie’s disease may occur. As the scar tissue forms in the penis may become bent or indented during an erection, which can cause increasing pain.
BPH (Enlarged Prostate)
The prostate always enlarges as you get older, but it may get to a point where it can cause problems urinating. It’s important to note BPH and prostate cancer are usually not related.
Low Testosterone
Almost all men experience a drop in testosterone as they age. However, an extreme loss of testosterone can lead to many side effects such as fatigue, low sex drive, and mood changes.
Male Incontinence
Anywhere from 5% to 15% of men over the age of 60 are affected with male urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence in men can be quite embarrassing for some men and prevent them from enjoying a lot of activities that they enjoy.
Male Sterilization
A vasectomy is a highly effective form of male birth control that involves sealing or dividing the vas deferens—the tubes responsible for transporting sperm. By interrupting this pathway, sperm are prevented from mixing with semen and being released during ejaculation. While vasectomy is intended to be a permanent contraceptive solution, reversal surgery may be an option for men who decide to restore fertility in the future.
Male Infertility
About 35% of all infertility issues are caused by the male reproductive system, so it’s not uncommon and definitely not just a woman’s issue. It’s important to get tested if you believe you may be infertile.
Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation (PE) is when a man reaches orgasm sooner than he or his partner would like during sex. When present, it can be a cause for frustration and anxiety as it may make sex less enjoyable and impact relationships.
Gross Hematuria
Hematuria is the medical term for blood in the urine. While in many cases, the cause of seeing blood in the urine is harmless, it can also indicate a serious problem.
Bladder Cancer
The bladder is a hollow organ that stores urine. It is located inside the lower abdomen, is about the size of a grapefruit and is distensible (elastic) which allows its muscular wall to get larger and smaller. Bladder cancer is a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the bladder.
Prostate Cancer
The causes of prostate cancer, as with other cancers, are broad and complex. There is no single perspective on what causes prostate cancer. There are, however, certain factors that are associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer, such as age, genetics, diet, and lifestyle.
Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer is slightly more common in men and is usually diagnosed between the ages of 50 and 70 years. It is important to realize that with early diagnosis and treatment, kidney cancer can be cured.
Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer is a highly treatable cancer that occurs mainly in young men between the ages of 15-35. It can develop in one or both testicles and is rare compared with other types of cancers.
