- Kidney CancerKidney cancer is also known as renal cancer. The cancerous cells tend to begin in the tiny tubes of the kidney, which is diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma, hence the name “renal cancer”. Luckily, in most cases, kidney cancer is found before it is able to spread.
- Kidney StonesWhen high levels of minerals and salt exist in the kidneys, they can form a clump of matter known as a kidney stone. These stones may stay inside of the kidney, where they will not cause any further harm.
- Testicular CancerTesticular cancer develops in the testicles (testes), the male reproductive glands. The testicles are located in the membranous pouch below the penis (scrotum) and are suspended from the body by the spermatic cord. They produce male reproductive cells (sperm) and testosterone. Testicular cancer is treated successfully in more than 95% of cases.
- Interstitial CystitisInterstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the bladder that causes frequent, urgent, and painful urination with or without pelvic discomfort. The natural lining of the bladder (epithelium) is protected from toxins in the urine by a coating of enzymes (mucopolysaccharides) called the GAG (glycoaminoglycan) layer.
- Urinary Tract InfectionUnlike inflammation of the bladder caused by bacterial infection (cystitis), which is associated with urinary tract infections (UTI) and usually treated with antibiotics, no infectious agent has been found in IC. Though not curable, IC is treatable and most patients find relief with treatment and lifestyle changes.
- Prostate CancerIf there is an abnormal growth of cells within the prostate, it is certainly possible that this could be a case of prostate cancer. The prostate is an organ that solely exists in males, as it is a vital part of the semen production process.

- Depression
- Diabetes Care
- UltrasoundCreating a surgical map: The surgeon uses a cystoscope & real-time ultrasound imaging to create a surgical map of the prostate. This enables the surgeon to see the entire prostate so they can create a surgical map of the areas of the prostate to remove and those to avoid.
- MRICT and MRI exams are typically used to detect the staging of the cancer if it exists. There are 4 primary staging groups of kidney cancer in addition to more specific subcategories that detail how the cancer developed and possibly spread to other areas of the body.
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyFirst, your specialist at Siouxland Urology will conduct a physical exam and discuss with the patient’s medical history and current symptoms with them directly. If our office feels that further testing is warranted, we will most likely refer the patient to a radiologist to complete a CT scan, PET scan, MRI, or ultrasound. Other exams can also include a biopsy and blood test among a few others. Make sure you discuss your diagnostic options and preferences with your specialist.
- ChemotherapyChemotherapy is often used if the cancer has spread beyond the testicles, or if there is a high risk of recurrence. Chemotherapy drugs can be given orally or through intravenous infusion.
- Radiation TherapyRadiation therapy may be used after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells, or as the primary treatment if the cancer is in an early stage and has not spread.

- Laparoscopic SurgeryBoth minimally invasive surgical options require one or a few small incisions that doctors use to insert surgical equipment and a camera for viewing. In laparoscopic surgery, doctors use special long-handled tools to perform surgery while viewing magnified images from the laparoscope (camera) on a video screen.
- Physical TherapyPhysical Therapy: Going to see a pelvic floor physical therapist is the first step to creating a plan to strengthen your pelvic muscles. After performing an exam, the physical therapist will provide guidance on a treatment plan to help you regain pelvic floor function.
