Providence St. Mary Medical Center offers a comprehensive array of urological services including diagnosis and treatment of incontinence, erectile dysfunction, cancer, prostate enlargement, overactive bladder, blood in the urine and other issues.
The Urology Department utilizes the latest in treatment options. In the area of prostate care, for example, St. Mary offers a non-surgical treatment for prostate enlargement that uses microwaves. For prostate cancer, in 2004 the medical center began offering in addition to traditional treatments cryoablation, a minimally invasive technique which uses cold to kill cancer cells. Cryoablation offers a faster recovery and fewer side effects than radiation or the surgical removal of the prostate.
