Comprehensive Urological Care for Men, Women, and Children

Urology covers a broad set of conditions affecting the urinary tract and male reproductive system. At Pasadena Urological Medical Group, the practice spans the full range of urological care:

Adult urology – for men and women with urinary tract, kidney, bladder, and reproductive system conditions
Pediatric urology – for infants, children, and adolescents with congenital or acquired urological conditions
Female urology – a subspecialty focusing on conditions specific to women, including urinary incontinence and pelvic floor disorders
Male urology – prostate care, male sexual health, vasectomy, and male reproductive health

Urinary Tract Infections, Bladder Symptoms, and Common UTI Concerns

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common reasons patients see a urologist. Common symptoms patients describe include:

Burning sensation during urination
Frequent urge to urinate, often producing only small amounts
Cloudy, dark, or unusual-smelling urine
Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
Blood in the urine (hematuria)

Bladder infections – a specific type of UTI affecting the bladder itself – produce similar symptoms with additional pelvic pressure or pain. The urology practice evaluates UTI symptoms with urinalysis and urine cultures, identifies the responsible bacteria, and tailors antibiotic treatment accordingly. For recurrent UTIs (defined as multiple infections within a 6-12 month period), the practice can evaluate underlying causes – structural abnormalities, incomplete bladder emptying, hormonal changes, kidney stones, or other contributing conditions – and develop preventive strategies.

Overactive Bladder and Related Conditions

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition where the bladder muscle contracts too often or without warning, producing symptoms including:

Sudden, urgent need to urinate (urgency)
Urinating eight or more times during the day (frequency)
Waking up two or more times at night to urinate (nocturia)
Leakage of urine following sudden urgency (urge incontinence)

Treatment options range from behavioral interventions (bladder training, scheduled voiding, dietary changes) through medications, pelvic floor physical therapy, and – for severe cases – nerve stimulation therapies or Botox injections into the bladder. The urology practice evaluates each patient’s specific symptoms and develops a treatment plan starting with conservative options before considering more invasive interventions.

Kidney Stones – Evaluation, Imaging, and Treatment

Kidney stones are mineral deposits that form in the kidneys and can cause severe pain when they pass through the urinary tract. Pasadena Urological Medical Group provides comprehensive kidney stone care including:

Initial evaluation with urinalysis, blood tests, and imaging (CT, ultrasound, or X-ray)
Conservative management for small stones that can pass on their own with hydration and pain management
Shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) – non-invasive shockwave therapy that breaks larger stones into fragments small enough to pass
Ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy for stones lodged in the ureter
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for large kidney stones requiring direct surgical removal
Metabolic evaluation for patients with recurrent stones, identifying dietary or metabolic factors driving stone formation

Male Urinary Tract Infections, Prostate Health, and Male Urology

UTIs in men are less common than in women but are often more clinically significant when they occur – a male UTI can signal underlying conditions including prostate problems (prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia/BPH), bladder outlet obstruction, kidney stones, or other structural issues. The practice evaluates male UTIs with the same diagnostic approach as female UTIs but adds prostate evaluation as a routine component of the workup.

Male urology services at the practice also include:

Prostate health evaluation – PSA testing, prostate exams, evaluation of urinary symptoms related to BPH
Prostate cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment
Erectile dysfunction (ED) evaluation and treatment
Vasectomy – outpatient surgical contraception
Circumcision – for medical or elective reasons
Male infertility evaluation

Advanced Procedures: Robotic Surgery, Shockwave Therapy, and More

The practice offers advanced surgical and procedural treatments alongside conservative care:

Robotic surgery – minimally invasive robotic-assisted urological procedures for prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, and other complex conditions
Laparoscopic surgery – small-incision surgical techniques
Shockwave therapy – for kidney stones (lithotripsy) and certain ED conditions
In-office procedures – cystoscopy, bladder Botox injections, prostate biopsies, vasectomy
Bladder cancer treatment – evaluation, surgical management, and ongoing surveillance
Kidney cancer treatment – robotic partial nephrectomy, complete nephrectomy when needed

How Mobile Imaging Supports Urology Diagnostics

Ultrasound and X-ray imaging play a central role in modern urology – bladder scans (post-void residual measurements), renal ultrasounds (evaluating kidney structure and detecting stones), prostate ultrasounds, scrotal and testicular ultrasounds, and KUB (kidney-ureter-bladder) X-ray studies are all routine parts of urological diagnosis and ongoing management.

For patients who can’t easily travel to an imaging center – elderly patients with mobility limitations, post-surgical patients in early recovery, or residents of skilled nursing and assisted living facilities – mobile imaging delivers diagnostic ultrasound and X-ray services at the patient’s location. Professional Imaging Network Co., a family-owned mobile imaging provider, provides mobile diagnostic ultrasound and X-ray imaging to patients at home, in skilled nursing facilities, and in assisted living communities, with 24/7 radiologist availability for image interpretation. For Pasadena-area urology patients whose follow-up imaging needs are routine but for whom traveling to an imaging center is difficult, mobile imaging can substantially reduce the friction of ongoing urological care.

For Other Medical Care Needs

Pasadena Urological Medical Group focuses specifically on urological care – the practice doesn’t provide primary care, general internal medicine, or medical services outside its urology scope. For Pasadena patients who need primary care visits, chronic condition management, prescription management, or any non-urological medical care without leaving the home, Doctor2me’s network of in-home physicians provides house call doctor visits across California – a complementary service to specialty urology care, particularly useful for patients whose urological conditions co-exist with broader medical needs that benefit from home-based primary care.
