A urologist is a doctor who treats health problems of the male and female
urinary tract system and male reproductive system. Urologists are surgeons
who treat pediatric and adult patients.

Dehydration is the most common cause of kidney stones. This leads to not
making enough urine, which in turn can cause the crystallization and making
of kidney stones. Most kidney stones start out in the kidney. If that
stone drops down into the ureter — the tube draining from your kidney
to your bladder — it can be extremely uncomfortable and may block
the flow of urine, leading to painful symptoms. Urologist Dr. Nathan Grunewald
helps prevent and manage recurrent kidney stones. And if you need surgery,
Sauk Prairie Healthcare has the technology and laser capable of treating
all stones.
The genitourinary system is the collection of organs in your body related
to urination. These organs include the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra,
and adrenal glands. For men, the organs responsible for reproduction —
the penis, testicles, and prostate — are also part of the genitourinary
tract. Genitourinary cancers are those that originate in one of the genitourinary
organs. Urologist Dr. Nathan Grunewald is able to diagnose and treat kidney
cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
Men’s health conditions are quite common, such as enlarged prostate
(BPH), prostate cancer, testicular cancer, male infertility, low testosterone,
and erectile dysfunction. Numerous treatment options exist today which
can help improve your quality of life and may even help save your life.
Urologist Dr. Nathan Grunewald will help you feel comfortable talking
about your men’s health condition and will work with you to determine
your best treatment plan.
Overactive bladder causes a sudden and frequent urge to urinate that feels
almost impossible to control. You might also leak urine right after you
feel the need to go. Using the bathroom more than eight times in a 24-hour
time period is another common symptom of overactive bladder. And needing
to urinate two or more times during the night could signify overactive
bladder as well. Lifestyle changes, medications and surgery are possible
ways to treat overactive bladder.
Urinary incontinence is an involuntary and uncontrollable leakage of urine.
Urinary incontinence in men is often related to issues with the prostate.
For women, a higher rate of incontinence is seen in those who have had
children or undergone menopause. Treatment could include behavioral therapy,
medical interventions and/or leakage management. Urologist Dr. Nathan
Grunewald specializes in incontinence and provides a comfortable environment
for you to discuss your symptoms. He will answer your questions openly
and honestly, explain your condition thoroughly, and create a treatment
plan just for you — enabling you to live life free from accidents
once again.
A urinary tract infection, or UTI, is a bacterial infection that can be
located in any part of your body’s urinary system. In both males
and females, the urinary system is comprised of the kidneys, ureters,
bladder, and urethra. If you have two UTIs in a six-month period, or three
UTIs in a 12-month period, most urologic physicians will classify it as
a recurrent UTI. Long-term, recurring UTIs can cause complications such
as kidney disease or damage, sepsis, or delivering a baby prematurely.
Urologist Dr. Nathan Grunewald specializes in conditions of the urinary
tract and can offer an accurate diagnosis and effective course of treatment.
