• Urology
  Dr. Pham and his staff at Fort Bend Urology have served the Sugar Land and greater Houston area since 1997. Our mission is to provide you with the most state-of-the art and personalized medical care. We have no intention of ever becoming a high volume clinic so that you will get the most attention from the physician and the supporting staff. Some of the common conditions we encounter on a daily basis include...
• Kidney Stones
• Testicular Cancer
  In the immediate postoperative period there is the risk of bleeding into the scrotum. If the patient notices a significant increase in the size of their scrotum, significant scrotal discomfort, fever, scrotal redness, or tenderness, he should also be evaluated by the surgeon. Discomfort is usually minimal and should respond to Tylenol. More severe pain may indicate potential problems. Patients may complain of mild lower abdominal discomfort similar to what one would experience from getting hit in the genitalia. A benign lump or granuloma, may develop because there is a leakage of sperm from the cut end of the vas into the scrotal tissues. It may occasionally be painful or sensitive to touch or pressure. Post-vasectomy pain syndrome is a chronic pain syndrome that follows vasectomy. The cause of this syndrome and its incidence are unclear. It is generally treated with anti-inflammatory agents. There has been some debate as to whether vasectomies predispose a man to any future health problems. However, there is no conclusive evidence that men who have undergone a vasectomy have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, prostate cancer, testicular cancer or other health problems.
• Prostate Cancer
  Though any diagnosis of cancer can be traumatic, the good news is that if your doctor recommends prostate surgery, the cancer was probably caught early. And, with da Vinci Prostatectomy, the likelihood of a complete recovery from prostate cancer without long-term side effects is, for most patients, better than it has ever been. Da Vinci Prostatectomy is performed with the assistance of the da Vinci Surgical System – the latest evolution in robotics technology. The da Vinci Surgical System enables surgeons to operate with unmatched precision and control using only a few small incisions. Recent studies suggest that da Vinci Prostatectomy may offer improved cancer control and a faster return to potency and continence. da Vinci Prostatectomy also offers these potential benefits: Significantly less pain, less blood loss, fewer complications, less scarring, shorter hospital stay, and a faster return to normal daily activities

Radiologist

• Radiation Therapy
  If the you have an early diagnosis of prostate cancer, there is usually a range of treatment options. These may include conservative management, radiation therapy with either external bream or brachytherapy therapy, cryosurgery and prostatectomy – surgical removal of the prostate. Your treatment options will depend on a number of factors, including the stage of the disease, your age and health or personal preference.

• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  Referred to by many as robotic surgery for prostate cancer or robotic prostatectomy, da Vinci® Prostatectomy is more accurately a robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery that is the preferred treatment for removal of the prostate following early diagnosis of prostate cancer. In fact, studies suggest that da Vinci® Prostatectomy may be the most effective, least invasive prostate surgery performed today.
• Vasectomy
  The decision to proceed with a vasectomy is a very personal one. So it is important that you have a clear understanding of what a vasectomy is and what it is not. The following will provide you with information that will assist you in deciding whether or not a vasectomy is an appropriate form of contraception for you.
