Urology Care in Davenport

The urinary tract is your body’s drainage system. It consists of
several organs that work together to remove urine and extra fluids from your body, including your:

• Bladder, which stores your urine
• Kidneys, which cleanse your blood
• Ureters, which carry urine from your kidneys to your bladder

While most conditions of the urinary tract are treated by a urologist — such as urinary incontinence, urinary stones,
prostate cancer, other urinary tract cancers and male reproductive issues — some that are specific to women require the expertise of a gynecologist. If you aren’t certain where to start, you can work with your primary care physician for a referral and next steps.

The urology team at AdventHealth Heart of Florida can help you with everything from routine complaints and kidney stone removal to treating more serious conditions like prostate cancer and kidney conditions. Whatever your need, we’ll look first at minimally invasive treatment options, and will only consider surgery when it’s needed to ensure your best possible outcome.

If surgery is necessary, our surgeons offer progressive surgical techniques, including:

• Prostate Cancer Surgery
• Robotic Prostatectomy
• Robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer

Your kidneys work around the clock to filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood and produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine. So it should come as no surprise that even a small breakdown or interruption to this system, like an infection, can cause pain and disruption to your everyday life.

More serious kidney conditions can be life changing or even life threatening.

Kidney disorders can include:

• Kidney Cancer
• Kidney Disease
• Kidney Failure
• Kidney Infections
• Kidney Stones

The good news is that there’s a great deal you can do to help prevent kidney problems, such as creating a diet plan to put less stress on these vital organs. Our specialist can help you learn more about your specific risk for kidney disease and help guide your next steps. Particularly if you have high blood pressure or diabetes — which can cause your kidneys to work overtime and lead to kidney damage — it’s critical your condition is well managed.

If you’re diagnosed with a kidney disease or disorder, you can have peace of mind knowing that treatment advances have made many kidney conditions treatable when they’re diagnosed early. From preventive measures to medication, dialysis and surgery, AdventHealth Heart of Florida urology physicians (nephrologists) can help.

More than 30,000 men suffer from conditions like enlarged prostate, prostatitis and prostate cancer that negatively affect their quality of life. Our specialists are here to help with a variety of treatment options.

AdventHealth Heart of Florida offers Aquablation therapy, a minimally invasive surgical option for enlarged prostate.

Aquablation therapy uses imaging, robotics and a heat-free water jet to provide lasting relief. This treatment changes the trade off between enlarged prostate symptom relief and side effects. Contact one of our urology specialists to learn more about Aquablation and determine if you’re a candidate.

Since prostate cancer is the most serious of prostate conditions, and because early detection often results in better outcomes, we encourage men to stay current with screenings to detect prostate cancer.

When treatment for prostate cancer is necessary, our multidisciplinary teams of urologists and oncologists work together with other specialties to develop comprehensive, individualized treatment plans.
