Cystocele hernia is a protrusion or bladder into the vaginal canal. It occurs when the muscle that supports the bladder wall is so weak that it is unable to maintain its normal position, so the bladder tends to move down.

Cystocele is relatively common in women after age 40 disorder, and the likelihood increases with age at menopause, after a particularly difficult birth and when obesity, among other reasons.

Prostate and Renal Cryosurgery

Cryosurgery is a minimally invasive treatment that is currently used to treat prostate and renal cancer, in order to avoid undergoing surgery or radiotherapy. Besides being used when patients do not want to be treated by open surgery or radiation therapy, it can also be used as secondary treatment when the above fail. This technique is less invasive because it uses ultrafine needles small size, similar to those used in biopsies, to destroy the tumor. This is an intervention that does not exceed two hours, which does not avoid contact with others affected, which allows a speedy recovery and is usually done with epidural anesthesia. In the case of prostate tumors, it is customary to use cryosurgery in patients who have a high degree of malignancy, and with small prostates. The aim is to freeze the entire prostate to destroy all the cancer detected inside. With regard to kidney tumors, cryosurgery is also used to freeze all cancer contained in said body and can only be applied in small tumors (less than 4 cm). ...

Prostate biopsy is a test that involves obtaining small samples of the prostate to see if this growth is benign or malignant. Thus, it is possible to determine and ascertain whether or not the patient has prostate cancer. During the process, the doctor inserts a needle through the wall of the rectum into the prostate. When removing the needle, a small cylinder of prostate tissue is removed. This action is repeated 8 to 18 times, although in general the most common is to be performed 12 times.

On the contrary, if they are too active, you can have an urgent need to go to the bathroom while having little urine in the bladder (urge incontinence or overactive bladder). Other causes include prostate problems and neurological damage. The treatment of urinary incontinence depends on the cause and type, but in general usually includes simple exercises, medicines and special devices. Surgery may be helpful at times. ...

During the procedure, the abdomen is introduced into a laparoscope, which is a tube containing an optical system coupled to a light source. The camera allows the doctor to inspect, from a monitor, the pelvic organs and, if necessary, introduce other instruments through the same laparoscope to correct any problems. The advantages of laparoscopy in urology are many, such that shorter hospital and recovery is required, there is less chance of infectious complications, decreases postoperative pain and no visible scarring. Laparoscopy is mainly used in processes such as prostate cancer or some renal diseases. ...

Usually develops during the course of puberty, most often on the left side of the scrotum, and although it is usually not harmful, in some people it can damage the testicles or decrease sperm production. If testicular varicocele causes infertility, surgery, called varicocelectomy, which involves cutting the affected veins for blood flow is performed. An alternative to surgery is varicocele embolization, which makes a much smaller incision and involves placing a catheter into the vein. ...
