Urological Oncology

Urological oncology is one of the most important conditions to treat in the field. It deals with all cancers related to urology, including prostate cancer, kidney cancer, and bladder cancer mainly. In fact, these cancers are among in the top 6 cancers in men.

Prostate Cancer

The causes of prostate cancer, as with other cancers, are broad and complex. There is no single perspective on what causes prostate cancer. There are, however, certain factors that are associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer such as age, genetics, diet, and lifestyle.

Kidney Cancer

Kidney cancer is slightly more common in men and is usually diagnosed between the ages of 50 and 70 years. It is important to realize that with early diagnosis and treatment, kidney cancer can be cured.

Bladder Cancer

The bladder is a hollow organ that stores urine. It is located inside the lower abdomen, is about the size of a grapefruit and is distensible (elastic) which allows its muscular wall to get larger and smaller. Bladder cancer is a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the bladder.


Reproductive Health

When couples are having difficulty conceiving, oftentimes the focus is on the female. However, the male can also play a significant role in infertility issues. Dr Ogletree is an expert on the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility and sexual dysfunction, evaluating causes such as low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, and other infertility issues.

Low Testosterone

Almost all men experience a drop in testosterone as they age. However, an extreme loss of testosterone can lead to many side effects such as fatigue, low sex drive, and mood changes.

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is nothing to be embarrassed about and is usually easily treated. The first step is to talk to your doctor and learn your options.

Male Infertility

About 35% of all infertility issues are caused by the male reproductive system, so it’s not uncommon and definitely not just a woman’s issue. It’s important to get tested if you believe you may be infertile.


Incontinence and Urinary Issues

Affecting men and women alike, urinary incontinence affects millions of people every year. Dr. Ogletree can evaluate and recommend many new treatments to cure or manage your bladder control condition. Additionally, he also treats conditions such as kidney stones and BPH, which can cause issues with your urinary tract and bladder health.

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress Urinary Incontinence generally occurs when your pelvic muscles are no longer strong enough to keep the opening from the bladder neck closed when you are under physical stress.

Kidney Stones

Kidney Stones are formations of acid salts and minerals that can be caused by a number of things. Learn their causes, symptoms and how to treat them before they become a big problem.

BPH (Enlarged Prostate)

The prostate always enlarges as you get older, but it may get to a point where it can cause issues urinating. It’s important to note BPH and prostate cancer are not related.

Urinary Tract Infection

A Urinary tract infection, or a UTI, is an infection in the urinary system that is typically found in the bladder. Urinary tract infections are more often found in women than men.

Male Urinary Incontinence

Anywhere from 5% to 15% of men over the age of 60 are affected by male urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence in men can be quite embarrassing for some men and prevent them from enjoying a lot of activities that they enjoy.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when muscles and ligaments in the pelvic floor are stretched or become too weak to hold the organs in the pelvis in their proper place.

Hematuria

Hematuria is a symptom associated with a number of both common and uncommon conditions of the urinary system. The medical term “hematuria” is used whenever an individual has blood in their urine.

Urethral Stricture Disease

Urethral stricture disease occurs when there is an obstruction in the urethra that prevents the flow of urine and emptying of the bladder properly. The stricture will block the narrow passage of the urethra, making it difficult and painful to urinate.
