Having a
urinary condition such as loss of bladder control, blood in your urine, enlarged
prostate or other urinary condition can be scary to deal with, embarrassing to
talk about, and dangerous to your overall health. Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital
and its staff of urology physicians is leading the way in groundbreaking urology
interventions and surgical techniques to help you live an independent, disease-free
life.
New and effective treatments for prostate cancer, including cryosurgery and prostate
seeding, allows OLBH to offer patients the most advanced urology technology and
services available - on par with leading institutions in the United States. Laparoscopic
kidney removal for early stage renal cancer and endoscopic surgery for early
stage bladder cancer also are available.
Individuals with significant symptoms of urinary urgency and frequency can benefit
from Interstim Continence Control Therapy, offered solely in the area by OLBH
urologists. By helping to manage symptoms that adversely affect quality of life,
Interstim helps patients regain the ability to live and work without the fear
of embarrassment from loss of bladder control.
If you experience any changes in your bladder habits or blood in your urine,
please consult your physician immediately. For more information about available
