Urological Conditions

Information about the main urological conditions we treat in our practice

Erectile Dysfunction

Persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for a satisfactory sexual relationship. It can be treated with shockwave penile rehabilitation and, in advanced cases, a penile prosthesis.

Hydrocele

Abnormal accumulation of fluid in the scrotal sac around one or both testicles, with congenital or acquired causes.

Metabolic Study

Crucial evaluation to identify the underlying causes of kidney stones and prevent recurrences. It is complemented by crystallography, which analyzes the composition of the stone.

Testicular Torsion

Surgical emergency where the testicle rotates and twists the spermatic cord, reducing blood flow. Most common between ages 12 and 18.

Peyronie's Disease

Abnormal curvature of the penis caused by scar tissue (fibrous plaque) that develops inside the penis. It can be treated with shockwave therapy.

Prostate Cancer

The most common cancer among men. It generally grows slowly and is initially confined to the prostate gland. Diagnosis can be supported by fusion biopsy, and surgery can be performed with robotic assistance.

Bladder Cancer

Neoplasm that originates in the cells of the inner lining of the bladder. Main symptom: blood in the urine. When indicated, it is treated with intravesical therapy (BCG).

Kidney Cancer

Malignant tumor of the kidney that can be treated surgically with modern laparoscopic and robotic techniques.

Testicular Cancer

Testicular neoplasm with a high cure rate when detected and treated early.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Benign enlargement of the prostate that can obstruct urine flow, causing bothersome urinary symptoms. Treatment options include HoLEP, ThuLEP, Rezum and, for very large prostates, robotic surgery.

Prostatitis

Inflammation and swelling of the prostate. It affects men of all ages, but is more common in men aged 50 or younger.

Kidney Stones (Renal Lithiasis)

Presence of stones in the kidneys. Metabolic studies help identify the underlying causes.

Renal Colic

Acute and intense pain in the lumbar region caused by obstruction of the urinary tract by a stone.

Urethritis

Inflammation of the urethra, generally caused by sexually transmitted or bacterial infections.

Cystitis

Inflammation of the bladder, more common in women. Causes painful urination, urgency and urinary frequency.

Phimosis

Narrowing of the foreskin that prevents it from being retracted over the glans. May require circumcision.

Circumcision

Surgical procedure for the removal of the foreskin, indicated in cases of phimosis, paraphimosis or by medical indication.

Epididymitis

Inflammation of the epididymis, the tubular structure behind the testicle that stores and transports sperm.

Testicular Cyst

Benign cystic formation in the testicle or epididymis that may require follow-up or surgical treatment.

Varicocele

Dilation of the veins of the spermatic cord within the scrotum. Can affect male fertility.

Acute Pyelonephritis

Bacterial infection of the kidney that requires immediate antibiotic treatment to prevent complications.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

Viral infection that can cause genital lesions. Diagnosis through penoscopy and sample collection, and specialized treatment.

Hematuria

Presence of blood in the urine, visible or microscopic. Requires a complete urological evaluation.

Kidney Failure

Progressive loss of kidney function. In advanced cases, it may require dialysis or kidney transplant.

Kidney Transplant

Highly complex surgical procedure for the treatment of end-stage kidney failure.
