Symptoms we evaluate · Alpharetta and Roswell
Symptoms our Alpharetta urologists evaluate, in plain words.
A wave of side pain, blood in the urine, a stream that has lost its force, leaks, or frequent trips to the bathroom can all be a reason to come in. This page points you to the symptom guides on this site, and to when the emergency room is the right place instead of a scheduled visit at 11660 Alpharetta Hwy Ste 700, Roswell.
When should I go to the emergency room instead of booking a visit?
Go to an emergency room, or call 911, if you cannot urinate at all, if you have fever or chills with urinary symptoms, if bleeding is heavy or you are passing clots, if you are vomiting and cannot keep fluids down, or if sudden severe pain in the side or back will not let you get comfortable. Please do not wait for an office opening in those cases. After emergency care, call 678-344-8900 so follow-up can be arranged at this office.
What kidney stone symptoms should I know about?
Pain along the side or back, often in waves, pain that moves toward the groin, blood in the urine, nausea, vomiting, or a persistent need to urinate can all be signs of a kidney stone. Women and men can share that pattern, and a urine infection can feel similar, which is why a visit and testing matter. Start with kidney stone symptoms for the signs, when to go to the ER, and what the visit and a CT involve, and with kidney stone care for treatment options.
What if I see blood in the urine, or I leak or go too often?
Blood in the urine, even once, or blood found on a dipstick, should be checked, even if the next sample looks clear; blood in the urine explains how that evaluation is organized here. Leaks after a cough or a sudden urge, frequent urination, and getting up at night are covered on bladder leakage and frequent urination. For stool leakage or a loss of bowel control, see bowel leakage.
What if my stream is weak, or I am up at night to pee?
A weaker stream, a stop-start flow, or broken sleep from bathroom visits is a common reason men come to this office, and an enlarged prostate is often part of the story. Weak urine stream and trouble urinating at night and enlarged prostate questions walk through that pattern, and enlarged prostate treatment covers the options Advanced Urology offers, including UroLift, an outpatient procedure at our Advanced Urology surgery center, and prostate artery embolization.
