Patient Education
Understanding a urologic condition often starts with a question: What could be causing this symptom? What testing might I need? What treatments are available?
The Center for Advanced Urology provides patient education resources covering common areas of urologic health, including sexual health, penile enhancement, prostate conditions, urinary concerns, hormone health, prostate cancer, and general urology.
These resources are designed to help you learn about symptoms, conditions, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options before or after a conversation with your physician. They are educational resources, not a substitute for individualized medical evaluation or treatment.

Find Information About Your Urologic Health
Our educational resources are organized around several areas of urologic care. Depending on your concern, you may find information in the Urology Information Base, Urological Conditions,
Intimate Wellness resources, or our educational articles.
If you are not sure which category applies to your symptoms, starting with general information can help you identify questions to bring to your urologist.
General Urology Information
Urology encompasses conditions involving the urinary tract and, in men, the male reproductive system. Patients may seek information about urinary symptoms, prostate conditions, testicular concerns, reproductive health, sexual function, medications,
procedures, or other urologic issues.
The Urology Information Base and Urological Conditions sections provide broader educational material for patients who are researching a symptom or diagnosis and may not yet know which treatment or specialty resource applies to them.
These resources can be particularly useful when you are preparing for a first appointment or trying to understand
terminology used during an evaluation.
Featured Patient Health Topics
In addition to condition-specific resources, the Center for Advanced Urology publishes educational articles addressing individual questions that may arise before, during, or after a urologic evaluation.
Current topics include:
These articles address specific patient questions and can provide useful background information. They should be considered alongside, rather than in place of, advice from your physician.
Using Patient Education Before Your Appointment
Educational resources can help you prepare for a medical appointment by giving you a better understanding of the terminology and issues you may want to discuss.
Consider writing down:
Bringing this information to an appointment can help your physician understand the problem and determine whether additional evaluation is needed.
A Symptom Does Not Always Identify the Diagnosis
Urologic symptoms can have more than one possible cause. Urinary frequency, for example, may be associated with BPH, bladder conditions, infection, medications, fluid intake, or other factors. Changes in sexual function can also involve vascular, hormonal, neurologic, medication-related, psychological, or other causes.
Patient education can help you understand possibilities, but it cannot determine which explanation applies to you.
If symptoms are persistent, worsening, or concerning, an evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional is appropriate. Your physician can consider your symptoms, medical history, examination findings, and appropriate testing when determining the cause and next step.
Medical Expertise Behind Our Patient Resources
Patient education is most useful when it helps patients have more informed conversations with their healthcare providers.
The Center for Advanced Urology is led by Stuart M. Diamond, MD, FACS, a board-certified urologist and genitourinary surgeon with more than 30 years of experience in urology.
His clinical background includes general urology, prostate care, urinary conditions, sexual health, urologic surgery, and advanced diagnostic and treatment approaches. His professional experience also includes academic medicine, surgical leadership, clinical research, and physician education.
The information presented through this website should still be considered general educational material. Treatment decisions depend on the individual patient's symptoms, medical history, examination findings, diagnostic results, and other clinical factors.
