Laboratory Assessment
Comprehensive urinalysis, urine culture, PSA panel (total, free, ratio), renal function markers, inflammatory markers, and hormonal panel including testosterone, DHT, estradiol, and cortisol.
Urinary Function
Comprehensive Evaluation & Treatment for Urinary Disorders in Men
Identifying the root causes of urinary dysfunction and restoring normal function through targeted diagnostics and integrative treatment approaches.
Is this you?
You know every restroom between home and the office.
The urgency, the weak stream, the feeling you are never quite empty. You were handed a pill that made you dizzy and told the rest is age. Quietly, it has started to shape what you say yes to.
This page explains how we look for the cause rather than the symptom, and what treatment can involve.
Understanding Urinary Dysfunction
More Than an Inconvenience
Urinary function disorders affect millions of men worldwide, yet many delay seeking care due to embarrassment or the assumption that symptoms are simply a normal part of aging. In reality, urinary dysfunction often signals underlying conditions that benefit from proper evaluation and treatment.
At St. George Hospital, we take urinary complaints seriously. Frequency, urgency, weak stream, incomplete emptying, nocturia, and recurrent infections can all indicate treatable conditions ranging from benign prostatic hyperplasia to chronic pelvic inflammation, neurogenic dysfunction, or hormonal imbalance.
Our diagnostic approach identifies the specific mechanisms driving each patient’s symptoms, allowing us to develop targeted treatment plans that address causes rather than merely managing symptoms.
Common Symptoms
When to Seek Evaluation
If you experience any of the following symptoms persistently, a comprehensive urological evaluation can identify the cause and guide effective treatment.
- Frequent urination (more than 8 times per day)
- Urgency or difficulty delaying urination
- Nocturia (waking 2 or more times at night to urinate)
- Weak or intermittent urinary stream
- Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying
- Straining or prolonged time to initiate urination
- Post-void dribbling
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Pelvic discomfort or pain during urination
- Blood in urine (hematuria)
What we test
Identifying the Root Cause
Our urinary function evaluation goes beyond standard testing to identify the specific anatomical, hormonal, inflammatory, or neurogenic factors contributing to your symptoms.
Functional Testing
Uroflowmetry to measure flow rate and pattern, post-void residual volume measurement, bladder diary analysis, and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) evaluation.
Imaging & Structural
Transrectal and transabdominal ultrasound for prostate volume, bladder wall thickness, and structural assessment. Evaluation of upper urinary tract where indicated.
How we treat
Restoring Normal Urinary Function
Prostate-Targeted Therapy
When BPH is the primary driver, prostate hyperthermia can reduce gland volume and relieve obstruction without surgery. This minimally invasive approach preserves tissue and avoids the risks associated with transurethral resection.
Anti-Inflammatory Protocols
Chronic pelvic inflammation contributes to many urinary disorders. We use targeted anti-inflammatory therapies including IV protocols, phytotherapeutics, and dietary guidance to reduce tissue inflammation and improve function.
Hormonal Rebalancing
Hormonal imbalances, particularly elevated estradiol relative to testosterone or excess DHT, can drive both prostate enlargement and bladder irritability. We optimize the hormonal environment through bioidentical and natural approaches.
Pelvic Floor & Lifestyle
Pelvic floor rehabilitation, bladder training, fluid management guidance, and targeted supplementation with evidence-based botanicals such as saw palmetto, pygeum, and beta-sitosterol.
