General Practitioners

Medical Weight Loss
Control high blood pressure: Lifestyle measures such as exercise, weight loss, and diet changes can help; in addition to medications.
Male Infertility
The most common symptom of male infertility is the inability to conceive a child. Other symptoms include pain or swelling in the testicle area as well as low sperm count.
Erectile Dysfunction
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is any involuntary loss of urine. There are different types of incontinence whose symptoms may appear to be similar. To help avoid confusion, the different types of urinary incontinence are...
Diarrhea

Female Infertility
Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
Stress incontinence occurs when the muscles around your urethra become too weak to prevent the urine in your bladder from escaping when the bladder pressure rises with increased abdominal pressure. Even the small amount of stress created by coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising or lifting can result in a bit of leaking. Many women experience this after vaginal childbirth and menopause/aging.It is important to remember that stress incontinence is NOT the same as overactive bladder. They have different symptoms, causes, and therefore, different treatments.

Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer accounts for approximately 90% of cancers of the urinary collecting system (renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, urethra). The bladder is an organ located in the pelvic cavity that stores and discharges urine. Urine is produced by the kidneys, carried to the bladder by the ureters, and discharged from the bladder through the urethra.
Urology
We can help you regain your confidence. Advanced Urology Associates specializes in treatment for sexual dysfunction. There are a number of treatments or solutions we offer our patients and the appointment as well as making the appointment is always done with respect and discretion.
Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer means cancer cells form in the tissues of the kidneys. Our body is composed of billions of cells that function for a while and then die, being replaced in an organized manner. Sometimes there can be an uncontrolled replacement of the cells, leaving them unorganized. This abnormal growth of cells and disorder is cancer. The cancer cells can grow without the normal control and limits. Cancer can spread locally into surrounding tissues or break away from the tumor and enter body fluids, such as blood and lymph and spread to other parts of the body, called metastasis.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones (calculi) are hardened mineral deposits that form in the kidney. They originate as microscopic particles or crystals and develop into stones over time. The medical term for this condition is nephrolithiasis, or renal stone disease.
Testicular Cancer
Our body is composed of billions of cells that function for a while and then die, being replaced in an organized manner. Sometimes there can be an uncontrolled replacement of the cells, leaving them unorganized. This abnormal growth of cells and disorder is cancer. The cancer cells can grow without the normal control and limits. Testicular cancer means cancer cells form in the tissues of the testicles. It starts when cells in the testicles grow out of control and crowd out normal cells. Cancer can spread locally into surrounding tissues or break away from the tumor and enter body fluids, such as blood and lymph and spread to other parts of the body, called metastasis. The most common place for metastasis from testicular cancer is in the lungs and liver.
Cervical Cancer
Other studies looked at the effect of circumcision on cervical cancer risk in female sex partners and on other problems, such as infection. However, the results of these studies are mixed and inconclusive. The most significant benefit to infant circumcision is a lower rate of urinary tract infection (UTI). During the first 3 to 6 months, UTIs are 10 times more common in uncircumcised boys than in circumcised boys. UTIs in infancy can lead to kidney problems later in life. However, they are easily treated with antibiotics and may not be enough of a reason to circumcise an infant.
Endoscopy
Advuro surgeons remove kidney stones through endoscopy rather than open surgery. A special long, thin telescopic instrument is inserted through the urethra and passed through the bladder and up the ureter to the stone. Once the stone is located, the urologist either removes it with a small basket inserted through the ureteroscope (called basket extraction) or breaks up the stone with a laser or similar device. The fragments are then passed by the patient. Ureteroscopy is performed under general or regional anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Benefits: Open surgery would require prolonged hospitalization, and recovery takes several weeks. Endoscopic kidney stone removal has a much faster recovery time and is minimally invasive, which means less pain and a quicker recovery.
Interstitial Cystitis
Urinary Tract Infection
A Urinary Tract Infection is an infection found in a part of the urinary system including the kidneys, urethra, bladder and ureters. Urinary Tract infections are most commonly found in the lower urinary tract, the bladder or urethra.
Prostate Cancer
Not to be confused with prostate cancer, BPH occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged and begins to obstruct the urinary system.
Cancer Care
Comprehensive cancer care has never been this good, or close to home. The Advanced Urology Cancer Center of Excellence offers the most state-of-the-art treatments, surgical procedures and cancer care available.

Ultrasound
A prostate ultrasound is also performed if any prostate abnormalities are discovered. The ultrasound involves inserting a small probe into the patient’s rectum. The ultrasound waves are recorded and they create a video or still image of the prostate. This way, doctors can gain more insights into whether there’s a more serious medical issue at hand. It’s common for a prostate ultrasound to accompany a biopsy.
MRI
Imaging studies to visualize the kidney, related structures, and any tumor or abnormality, such as ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
X-Rays
Nuclear Medicine
Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) scan is a nuclear medicine imaging study that uses a radioactive material, or “sugar” that will highlight as increased uptake in an area of cancer. This scan looks for spread of the cancer.
Computed Tomography
If surgery is the only treatment, you will typically be seen every few months for the first few years, then less frequently after that. You will have blood tests, CT scans, and physical exam to be sure the cancer has not returned.
Chemotherapy
Medications and prior surgery. Steroid use, hormone replacement therapy, chemotherapy, and other medications can impair sperm production. Additionally, surgeries such as hernia repairs, vasectomies, and scrotal, prostate, or testicular procedures can cause blockage from the epididymis.
Radiation Therapy
For over 22 years, Dr. DesRosiers has been providing radiation therapy for prostate, bladder, kidney and testicular cancers. Dr. Nguyen has over 15 years of experience in providing highly skilled cancer care and procedures, including robotic surgeries.

Wound Care
The stitch or stitches (if stitches were used) to close the skin will dissolve by themselves in a time frame of 5-10 days. Occasionally, they will fall out sooner and the edges of the skin will open up. If this occurs, the sutures do not need to be replaced as the surgical site will heal on its own. Wash the area gently in the shower only with mild soap to remove any dried blood around the wound. You should not take a bath, swim or use the jacuzzi for 5 days.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Vasectomy
Vasectomy is a simple, safe procedure that makes a man sterile (unable to father a child). It’s the most effective birth control method for men. There are many good reasons to choose vasectomy. But it is a major step. You and your partner should know all the facts and share in the decision.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
BOTOX® is a prescription medicine that is injected into the bladder muscle and approved to treat overactive bladder symptoms such as a strong need to urinate with leakage or wetting accidents (urge urinary incontinence) a strong urge to urinate right away (urgency) and urinating often (frequency) in adults 18 years and older when another type of medication (anticholinergic) does not work well enough or cannot be taken.
Laparoscopic Surgery

Dermatology
If you have a medical issue or need a surgical procedure, you want to find a doctor with the highest level of training and specialization possible. To practice medicine in the U.S., doctors are required to have a medical license; however, that license doesn’t indicate a doctor’s qualifications for practicing within an area of specialty, such as Dermatology or Urology. If a doctor is Board Certified, it means that he or she has received additional training, and participates in activities that ensure they’re current with the latest advances in medical and patient care.
Lesions
The next generation of prostate cancer care and detection, the UroNav Fusion Biopsy System, is available at Advanced Urology Associates Prostate Cancer Center. The UroNav has changed how we diagnose and treat prostate cancer. With this state-of-the-art technology, a patient will have a Multiparametric MRI image of their prostate gland, which is useful to detect suspicious lesions. The image is then fused with an ultrasound image to help pinpoint questionable areas of the prostate to prepare for needle biopsy. This precision helps eliminate taking multiple biopsies, and may also detect aggressive tumors that may have otherwise been missed.
