Our medical team understands women’s specific urological needs

You don’t have to suffer with urological conditions that make life difficult, uncomfortable and even painful. The experienced physicians and medical team at San Bernardino Urology Associates will address them with compassion and skill.

Interstitial Cystitis

Interstitial Cystitis (IC) also known as Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome is a chronic, painful bladder condition that causes urinary urgency and frequency as well as pain, pressure and discomfort that are perceived to be coming from the bladder.

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and biologic material that solidify to form stones in the urinary tract.

Overactive Bladder

Overactive bladder (OAB) is when the bladder muscles contract too soon. It gives a strong sudden need to urinate, even when the bladder isn’t full and creates a “gotta go” sensation.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) means the dropping of the bladder, cervix and uterus, and/or rectum into the vaginal canal. This is similar to a hernia, and is common in women as they age.

Urinary Incontinence

Incontinence affects twice as many women as men, which is believed to be due to pregnancy, childbirth and menopause. The good news is that urinary incontinence is not a normal part of aging, and it can be treated.

UTI

A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria get into your urinary system. Urinary tract infections usually begin in the bladder and urethra. If left untreated, they can spread to the ureters and kidneys.

Adrenal Tumors

Adrenal glands are located above the kidneys and are part of your endocrine system. They produce hormones that regulate different bodily functions.

Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer usually begins in the inner lining of the bladder, in special cells called transitional cells. It can also grow in other parts of your urinary tract system including your kidneys, ureters, and urethra.

Kidney Cancer

A kidney mass, or tumor, is an abnormal growth in the kidney. One in four kidney masses are benign. Smaller masses are more likely to be benign, whereas larger masses are more likely to be cancerous.
