Urinary Health refers to how well your urinary system works to remove waste and create urine. There are many medical and lifestyle factors that contribute to urinary health, such as diet, lifestyle, and family history. Oftentimes, a urinary condition can be an indicator of another underlying issue, so it’s important to consult a urologist if your urinary concerns cause significant bother, limiting work, travel, sleep or day to day living. HolSpanMD utilizes both medical and lifestyle interventions, as well as minimally invasive surgical techniques when necessary in order to diagnose and improve urinary conditions.
