MEN'S HEALTH CENTER
We provide expert Men’s Health care across the St. Louis Metro area, specializing in men’s prostate and bladder care.
We established the Men’s Health Center at Urology of St. Louis to care for the issues of male prostate and bladder. Our team of board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians are the most qualified and specialized doctors to help you find a solution for your urologic condition.
Men’s health issues in many cases are more complicated, so we offer every appropriate, guideline-based management option for each patient’s unique health issues. We’re dedicated to helping our patients through these sensitive issues in a professional and comfortable environment, often directly on-site.
Our Men's Health Center Specializes In:
Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
The longer you live, the more likely you’ll develop an enlarged prostate. More than half of men in their 60s and as many as 90 percent in their 70s and 80s have some symptoms of BPH.
The prostate continues to grow during most of a man’s life and can begin to cause problems in later years. An enlarged prostate squeezes the urethra like a clamp on a garden hose. This prostate enlargement can sometimes cause difficulty with urination.
Overactive Bladder
In men with OAB, the bladder muscle is overactive and squeezes too often. These bladder spasms make it feel like you need to urinate often and quickly, even if there isn’t much urine in your bladder. You feel a sudden urge to urinate, sometimes followed by leaking. Sometimes the whole bladder empties.
