Urology Health: What Men and Women Should Know

Urologic health affects much more than the prostate. In this episode of Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy, pharmacist Brad White talks with Dr. Andrew Turk of Aultman Urology about common urologic concerns affecting both men and women. The conversation explores prostate health and prostate cancer, including PSA screening, risk factors, symptoms and advances in prostate cancer management. Dr. Turk also discusses medical and surgical options for men experiencing difficulty urinating. Brad and Dr. Turk also cover women's urologic health, urinary urgency, kidney stone prevention and treatment, vasectomy, blood in the urine, bladder cancer and cystoscopy—along with important signs that may indicate it's time to see a urologist.  Whether you're concerned about prostate health, changes in urination, recurring urinary problems or kidney stones, this episode provides an excellent overview of the conditions urologists diagnose and treat and why you shouldn't ignore persistent urinary symptoms.
