- Male InfertilityMale infertility means that the man is not able to conceive a child. This may be because there is a low sperm production, a blockage, or the man has sperm that are essentially immobile. Illness, trauma, injury, acute and chronic health problems are often the blame and cause for male infertility. While the only primary symptom is not being able to produce a child, there are some other symptoms that might suggest infertility as well including a swelling of the testicles, delayed ejaculation, erectile dysfunction and signs of a chromosomal or hormonal abnormality.

Many children will see a urologist for common urological problems such as chronic bedwetting or urinary tract infections; urinary incontinence in children is one such condition that brings many parents to a urologist each year as well. Other, more serious conditions will need ongoing treatment plans.

- Kidney StonesA kidney stone is a solid mass of hard crystals and granules that have separated from the urine within the urinary tract. If these collections of hard-developed crystals remain small enough, they can pass through the ureters to the urine stream. If they are large enough, they will block the flow of urine and cause a considerable amount of pain as they try and pass. Kidney stones can range in size as small as grains of sand or as large as golf balls. They can either stay in your kidneys or travel out of your body through the urinary tract. Kidney stones can reside in the kidney for a while without any pain whatsoever. However, a sudden, severe pain is associated with the travel of the kidney stone from the kidney to the bladder.
- Urinary Tract InfectionSome people are more susceptible to get a kidney stone(s). Diet, nutrition and a family history do a play a part, but the most common cause of kidney stones is not drinking enough water. It’s important to drink enough water to keep your urine clear (about 8 to 10 glasses of water a day). Other causes for kidney stones include: inflammatory bowel disease, gout, Atkins diet, urinary tract infection, vitamin C (over 2 grams per day), or calcium supplements if taken without food or if used excessively.

- Multiple SclerosisErectile dysfunction is an issue that unfortunately, for some, is a part of the natural aging process, but there are a few medical factors that can cause it to become more severe, or to strike earlier. Medical conditions such as kidney disease, Multiple Sclerosis, vascular disease and neurological disorders often attribute to erectile dysfunction. Medical professionals also state that factors such as a lack of physical activity, obesity, excessive alcohol intake, drugs, and smoking of any kind directly affect the onset and severity of erectile dysfunction. Psychological factors are also a big contributor. This includes mental illness, depression, anxiety and stress.
