HIFU: How does it compare with surgery or radiation?
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a type of non-surgical (non invasive) medical treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to heat and destroy abnormal tissue, such as cancer cells. It is often used as an alternative to surgery or radiation therapy for the treatment of various conditions, including prostate cancer, uterine fibroids, and breast cancer.

Prostate Cancer:
What are my options for treatment?
If detected early, prostate cancer can often be successfully treated. There are several treatment options available, including surgery, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy.
Active Surveillance on Prostate Cancer: What are the risks?
Active surveillance involves closely monitoring the cancer with regular check-ups, including prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, digital rectal exams, and prostate biopsies, to determine if and when treatment is necessary.
Erectile Dysfunction: Regenerative treatment vs. traditional therapies
It is important to discuss the potential benefits and risks of any therapy with a healthcare provider to determine if it is a suitable option. Ultimately, the best treatment option for ED will depend on the individual circumstances of each patient.
Urinary Incontinence: New solutions and traditional treatment
Urinary incontinence is the loss of control over the bladder, leading to the accidental leakage of urine. It is a common problem that can affect people of all ages and can have a significant impact on quality of life.
Testosterone:
Friend or Foe in Prostate Cancer?
On the one hand, testosterone can stimulate growth and may make the cancer more aggressive. On the other hand, testosterone can also maintain bone density and increase muscle mass.
