Interstitial
Cystitis
Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic and painful
condition of the bladder. People with IC have a
bladder wall that is tender and easily irritated,
leading to uncomfortable symptoms. Thousands of
people are affected by IC. Although IC currently has
no cure, your doctor can help manage the symptoms to
make you feel better and live more comfortably.

Infertility
Your doctor can help find the source of a couple’s
fertility problems and explore all possible
solutions. From simple steps that can be done on
your own to highly advanced medical techniques, the
options are numerous and encouraging.

Lithotripsy
Lithotripsy is a method of crushing a kidney stone
while it is still inside your body. It’s a
noninvasive procedure that doesn’t require
incisions. During lithotripsy, carefully directed
shock waves pass harmlessly through your body and
hit the stone, causing it to crumble into sand like
particles. These particles can then pass easily out
of your urinary tract.

Incontinence
Incontinence is not a disease or an inevitable part
of getting older. It is a symptom or side effect of
another medical condition. Pregnancy, childbirth and
repetitive straining or damage to muscles can lead
to permanent weakening of the pelvic muscles that
control continence. In addition, common health
conditions including Neurologic disease or injury,
such as Parkinson’s, stroke or spinal cord injury;
obstructed urination; some types of surgery; and
certain birth defects or chronic medical conditions
such as diabetes can be the cause. Prostate problems
and the treatments needed to correct the problems
are the most frequent causes of urinary incontinence
in men.
Impotence __ Erectile Dysfunction
Impotence is common. It forms in about 20% of our
male population that is over forty years of age.
Here at Maine Coast Urology we offer a number of
highly effective treatments for Erectile
Dysfunction. These include:
- Oral medication – Sildenafil,
also known as Viagra, is the most widely used
therapy.
- Intracavernasal or injection
therapy has a fairly high rate of patient
acceptance.
- Surgical penile prosthesis –
the “gold standard” of Erectile Dysfunction
treatment. Results show a very high rate of
patient and partner satisfaction.
If impotence is a concern we
encourage you to make an appointment for a
consultation and discuss this matter with either Dr.

Counseling
Men can enjoy sexual activity throughout their
lives, but the aging process changes the way the
body reacts and functions. Counseling may help
you adapt to changes in your body as well as
changes in your relationship with your partner.
