CPMC Men's Health

Urological conditions, such as incontinence and enlarged prostate, are common among men, especially with age. The urology specialists at CPMC can provide you with an accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment.

Enlarged Prostate

An enlarged prostate—or benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH)—is a treatable disease that most men will develop as they get older. Left untreated, BPH can lead to other urological disorders including urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder stones and kidney damage.

We offer a variety of treatments for BPH that range from nonsurgical to minimally invasive including Aquablation® , which uses robotic technology and a heat-free waterjet to remove enlarged prostate tissue. CPMC is the first medical center in San Francisco to offer Aquablation.

Penis Disorders

Penis disorders aren’t unusual, and most have one thing in common: pain. Several factors can contribute to a penis disorder—they are not simply “mind over matter” conditions. Some penis disorders, such as Peyronie's Disease, are caused by scar tissue and can be a symptom of a more general disease, such as diabetes or heart disease.

We offer a wide range of treatments for erectile disorders. Depending on your age, medical history and symptoms, your doctor may recommend testosterone replacement therapy, a vacuum erection device, surgical treatment or medications—either taken orally or via injection into your penis. For erectile dysfunction (ED) in particular, a penile prosthesis can be a very effective.
