Urology

Urologic conditions are far more common than most people realize. Each year, kidney stones alone send more than half a million Americans to the emergency room, 1 in 3 women experiences bladder leakage, and half of men over 50 live with symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Yet many people wait months, even years, to seek care because these concerns feel too personal to talk about.

At Hendricks Regional Health, we want you to know: your symptoms are common, they are treatable, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Our board-certified urologist provides expert diagnosis and personalized treatment for men and women in a private, respectful setting.

When to See a Urologist

Talk to your primary care provider or schedule an evaluation with our urology team if you experience:

• Blood in your urine
• Difficulty starting urination or fully emptying your bladder
• Pain in your back, side or lower abdomen that may signal kidney stones
• An elevated PSA result or concerns about prostate health
• Changes in sexual function, such as erectile dysfunction
• A frequent or urgent need to urinate, especially at night
• Frequent urinary tract infections

Even symptoms that seem minor are worth a conversation. Early evaluation leads to simpler treatment and better outcomes.
