Medical services of our practice

• Screening for men and women

  It is important to us that you stay healthy as long as possible. Therefore medical prevention and screening play an important role in diagnosing a disease at an early stage if it happens to occur.

  The urologist is not only a doctor for men. We also take care of diseases that occur in women with the same frequency or even more often than in men, such as bladder cancer, incontinence and recurrent urinary tract infections.

  The urological screening that the German governmental insurance covers includes:

  - Collection of patient history
  - Physical examination
  - Screening of blood in stool starting at the age of 50 years of age.
  - Screening for abnormalities of the major body arteries starting at 65 years of age
  

  In addition, we offer an extended screening as individual health services (IGeL). This includes:

  - assessment of the PSA (a blood test for prostate cancer detection)
  - screening for bladder cancer (urine test)
  - ultrasound of the prostate

• Prostate enlargement

  With increasing age, the male's prostate grows. This can cause prostate problems. Signs of an enlarged prostate include: reduced urinary flow, feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, increased urge to void, increase in nocturnal voiding frequency. For diagnosis, urinary flow measurement (uroflowmetry) and sonography of the prostate and bladder are available in our practice. Therapeutic options include both medical and surgical treatment, which if necessary, we would be happy to advise you about.

• Stone disease

  For the diagnosis of stone diseases, modern ultrasound devices are available in our practice. Therapeutic options include medical treatment as well as shock wave lithotrypsie and minimally invasive surgery.

  In addition to the diagnostics, our approach to stone disease is also about preventing recurrences and the early detection of new formation of stones. Again, we are happy to assist you with our expertise.

• Incontinence (Uro-gynacology)

  Urinary incontinence includes all complaints associated with involuntary urine loss, increased urinary urgency and / or nocturnal voiding. For many people, incontinence is a taboo subject. Talk to us - we understand how frequently patients suffer from this condition.

  We are happy to advise you about the different treatment options. We cooperate closely with specially trained urotherapists, who can introduce you to pelvic floor training. In addition, with the appropriate indication, we have the ability to carry out a bladder-pressure-measurement (urodynamics).

• Erectile and sexual dysfuntions

  Erectile and sexual dysfunction are often associated with impaired quality of life and can burden partnerships. Often an erectile dysfunction is also the first indication of a cardiovascular problem.

  The syndrome of the "aging male" is a considerable burden for many patients who depend on high performance. This may be due to an imbalance of the male hormones:
