Stones, prostate and cancer questions
Brief, helpful notes, with more detail available from Advanced Urology.
Stones
Pain that surges in the flank or back. If it comes with fever, go to the ER. Otherwise imaging guides waiting versus treatment, done at our Lawrenceville surgery center.
Prostate
A slow or interrupted stream and night trips usually mean enlargement. Medication, then procedures if needed.
Cancer
Prostate, bladder, kidney and testicular cancers are evaluated and treated by our urologists. Blood in the urine or a testicular lump should be seen promptly.

Asking about Rezum?
From Athens, you may have read about Rezum, but Advanced Urology doesn't offer it. We offer these BPH treatments instead:
- Medicines for an enlarged prostate
- UroLift
- Prostate artery embolization (PAE), performed by interventional radiologists
- Aquablation
- TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate)
- HoLEP (holmium laser enucleation of the prostate)
