- Arthritis
- CryotherapySpaceOAR Hydrogel is best suited for men undergoing prostate cancer treatment that are proceeding with radiation therapy. Prior prostatectomy patients, cryotherapy patients and laser ablation patients are not eligible. Patients are typically referred to Urology of Indiana by their radiation oncologist for this procedure.
- Medical Weight Loss
- Male InfertilityThe primary causes of male infertility are problems with sperm production or delivery. Impaired production or delivery may result from hormonal dysfunction, trauma or defect in the reproductive system, and/ or illness.
- Emergency CareWhen you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.
- Erectile Dysfunction
- Urinary IncontinenceUrinary incontinence, also known as bladder leakage, is very common in women, and usually is treatable. There are different types of urinary incontinence. Stress incontinence is the sudden loss of urine with physical activity or movement, such as coughing, sneezing, bending over, lifting or exercise.
- Diarrhea
- GynecologyA Urogynecologist is a physician who has undergone advanced, specialized training in the evaluation and treatment of conditions that affect the female pelvic organs. The American Board of Medical Specialties approved Urogynecology as a certified subspecialty in 2011. Board certification in Urogynecology means that the physician has passed an exam from the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology (ABOG) and American Board of Urology (ABU) demonstrating exceptional expertise in this specialty.
- Female Infertility
- ObstetricsUrogynecology is a surgical sub-specialty that combines Obstetrics and Gynecology with Urology and is dedicated to the treatment of pelvic floor disorders in women. The pelvic floor is comprised of muscles, ligaments, connective tissues and nerves that help hold up and control the rectum, uterus, vagina and bladder. Men also have a pelvic floor that supports pelvic organs, the bladder and the rectum.
- Pelvic PainThis is the most common type of prostatitis and unfortunately the most difficult to treat. Symptoms include chronic urinary, genital and pelvic pain that is thought to be due to inflammation of the prostate.
- Pregnancy
- Labor and DeliveryOften times, childbirth is the main cause of these disorders. The more times a woman gives birth, the higher her risk is for pelvic floor disorders. Obesity is another risk factor that is associated with these disorders. Excessive weight gain puts a great strain on the pelvic floor, which weakens the surrounding muscles.
- Bladder CancerThe 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. Bladder cancer accounts for approximately 90% of cancers of the urinary tract (renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, urethra).

- Kidney CancerPeople with a family history of kidney cancer appear to be at risk for RCC. It is suspected that inherited genetic mutations may be the cause, perhaps triggered by damage to the DNA that forms genes; cigarette smoke, for example, is known to contain chemicals that can damage the genes of kidney cells. Other risk factors include...
- Kidney StonesMany factors can contribute to your chance of having a kidney stone, including diet and fluid intake, where you live, or even your work environment.
- Testicular CancerTesticular cancer develops in the testicles (testes), the male reproductive glands. The testicles are located in the scrotum and are suspended from the body by the spermatic cord. They produce sperm (male reproductive cells) and testosterone. Testicular cancer is treated successfully in more than 95% of cases.
- Interstitial Cystitis
- Urinary Tract InfectionApproximately 8 to 10 million people in the United States develop a urinary tract infection (UTI) each year. Women develop the condition much more often than men.
- Prostate CancerIt is estimated that one of every six American men will develop prostate cancer before age 85. The risk of developing prostate cancer greatly increases with age. It rarely occurs in men younger than 50. The average age is 72. Black American men are at greater risk than white American men, but the reason for this is not known. The cause of prostate cancer is also unknown.
- Cancer CareFollowing is a list of urologic conditions that we diagnose and treat. You can also visit our Men’s Health, Women’s Health and Cancer Care sections for additional information.
- Neurology
- Multiple SclerosisUnderlying chronic infections of the urinary tract such as chronic cystitis, prostatitis, and/or urethritis Obstructive diseases such as Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy and urethral strictures Underlying neurologic disease processes such as Diabetic-associated, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Diabetes Care
- UltrasoundEvaluation involves surveying the urinary tract with diagnostic studies such as CT or ultrasound. The urologist may also perform a cystoscopy where a small lighted scope is used to visualize the inside of the bladder. The urine is analyzed to rule out infection and cancerous cells.
- MRIMRI-CAD (computer assisted diagnostics) is now emerging as a very helpful diagnostic tool as well. This imaging test allows radiologists and urologists to “peer inside†the prostate and get additional information about the size and any suspicious areas within the prostate and pelvis. When suspicious areas exist within the prostate, Artemis MRI/Ultrasound Fusion biopsies can be performed to target the suspicious areas. This exciting technology allows the Urologist to overlay (of Fuse) the real-time ultrasound images with the MRI-CAD. Any suspicious areas can then be targeted with great accuracy. This technique has been shown to increase detection rates of high risk prostate cancer and is an important tool. In addition, MRI/Ultrasound Fusion biopsy of the prostate has an emerging role in monitoring and managing patients who have already been diagnosed with prostate cancer and are on Active Surveillance.
- RadiologyCertain services at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center. When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to giveup your protections not to be balance billed.
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyImaging tests are performed to examine the upper tracts of the urinary system including the kidneys to rule out tumors, stones, or cysts often with a CT scan.
- ChemotherapyCertain drugs used to treat hypertension, arthritis, and digestive disease, as well as chemotherapy drugs, are associated with sperm production problems and infertility.
- Radiation TherapyRadiation therapy uses high-energy particles or waves, such as x-rays, gamma rays, electrons, or protons to destroy or damage cancer cells. It is one of the most common treatments for cancer.
- Radiation Oncology
- Minimally Invasive SurgeryMinimally invasive surgery often results in less operative trauma for patients and less post-operative pain. Hospitalization is typically shorter with improved recovery time and quicker return to normal daily activities.
- Cyst RemovalRobotic laparoscopic renal surgery is used extensively for both benign and malignant conditions of the kidney. Tumors of the kidney often require surgical removal. Surgical removal of the entire kidney is called a nephrectomy, while removal of a portion of the kidney is called partial nephrectomy. In addition to tumors, surgery is performed for benign conditions such and congenital obstruction and kidney cyst removal.
- VasectomyFor many couples, a vasectomy is a practical choice in eliminating the risks of conceiving a child. Many couples also enjoy the freedom and spontaneity of not having to use other forms of contraception.
- Robotic SurgeryWe perform a large number of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgical cases. Robotic surgery is a newer form of minimally invasive surgery that uses robotic assistance to improve surgical precision.
- HysterectomySacrocolpopexy is a surgical procedure to correct vaginal vault prolapse where mesh is used to hold the vagina in the correct anatomical position. This procedure can also be performed following a hysterectomy to treat uterine prolapse to provide long-term support of the vagina.
- LaparoscopyThis procedure is recommended for couples with unexplained fertility problems and normal reproductive anatomy. Mature eggs and prepared sperm are combined in a syringe and injected into the fallopian tube using laparoscopy. Embryos that result from this procedure naturally descend into the uterus for implantation. Average conception rate for these procedures is about 30%.
- Reconstructive Surgery
- Botox
- Laparoscopic SurgeryKidney or renal surgery has most often been performed via conventional open surgical techniques. However, robotic laparoscopic surgery is now available for nearly all types of renal surgery. For clinically appropriate patients, robotic laparoscopic renal surgery typically results in less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stay, less scarring, earlier return to work and positive clinical outcomes.
- Cyst
- Physical TherapyMaking changes in diet and activity can sometimes improve symptoms. Dietary modification involves avoiding irritants in food and drink that can worsen urinary symptoms. Patients often have different dietary triggers, but substances such as caffeine, acidic foods and carbonated beverages can often worsen overactive bladder and urge incontinence. Behavioral treatments include pelvic exercises and bladder training, which can be performed independently or with the help of a women’s health physical therapy specialist.
