About 15% of couples can't get pregnant during their first year of trying. In about half of those cases, the reason is male infertility. Nearly two million men are diagnosed with infertility every year in the United States. That's one in 136 men. Our experts in male infertility can help you find a solution.

Our urologists treat prostate cancer as well as non-cancerous prostate conditions such as enlarged prostate. An enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a prostate disease that is not cancerous but can be uncomfortable and interfere with life.

Treatment options for prostate disease include oral medicines, minimally invasive procedures and minimally invasive robotic surgery including single-port robotic-assisted surgery. Several of our urologists are some of the few in the world trained to use the single port robot.

Urinary incontinence, or the loss of bladder control, is a common problem. This can include leakage when you cough or sneeze, or sudden, sharp urges to urinate that are so strong you can't get to the bathroom in time.

Common causes of urinary incontinence include pregnancy and childbirth, an enlarged prostate, menopause, obesity, poor nutrition and weak muscles that control the bladder.

Our experts provide personalized treatment for urinary issues. Treatment choices can include physical therapy, medications and minimally invasive surgeries.

Depending on your needs, our team of urogynecologists, urologists and/or pelvic floor physical therapists will work closely with you to help you get control of your bladder again.

Treatment for bladder cancer varies by how far along it has advanced in the bladder, and also depends on your age and overall health. Treatment can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy. And, in some cases, we'll combine treatments for the best results.

Kidney or upper tract cancer can develop into other types of cancer. Surgery is usually needed to treat kidney cancer. We offer a wide range of methods to successfully remove the cancerous areas.

Prostate cancer is among the most common cancers in men, but it can be treated effectively if it's caught early. That's why regular screening for men over 50 is so important. While diagnosed cases have risen rapidly, mortality rates are dropping, in part because more men are aware of their need for screening.

We can treat prostate cancer with brachytherapy (radiation), cryotherapy (extreme cold) or robotic surgery.

Testicular cancer is treated successfully in more than 95% of all cases. Treatment depends on the stage and tumor type and may need radiation, chemotherapy or surgical lymph node removal. Onsite imaging with ultrasound and CT scanning can help us find the right treatment for you. Surgery can be performed quickly (if needed) at our ambulatory surgery center.
