Osteoporosis
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy: During an operation probes are placed in the prostate. The probes are then frozen which kills the prostatic cells.
Emergency Care
Emergencies: After hours, phone 561.650.0815 and the answering service will contact the urologist on-call. You may also go to a hospital emergency room, where the emergency room doctors will see you.
Urinary Incontinence
Hypermobility: A condition characterized in which the pelvic floor muscles can no longer provide the necessary support to the urethra and bladder neck. As a result, the bladder neck drops when any downward pressure is applied and causing involuntary leakage. This condition is the most common cause of stress urinary incontinence.

Urology
Daniel K. Hellerstein, M.D., has been practicing in the field of urology since 1990. He specializes in the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of urologic diseases with an emphasis on minimally invasive techniques for all urologic conditions. Dr. Hellerstein provides services to those adults over 18 years old.
Kidney Stones
Chemolysis: Certain types of kidney stones can be dissolved with the application chemicals. Uric acid stones, for example, can be dissolved with a solution of sodium bicarbonate in saline. Cystine stones may be treated successfully with a combination of acetylcysteine and sodium bicarbonate in saline. Struvite and carbon apatite stones can be treated with an acidic solution of hemiacidrin. The procedure involves infusing the chemical solution into the affected area by means of a ureteral catheter in a series of treatments over time until the stone is dissolved. The patient's urine must be cultured regularly throughout the course of treatment to guard against urinary infection and prevent the buildup of excessive chemical levels, particularly magnesium, which can cause other health problems.
Interstitial Cystitis
Urinary Tract Infection
Prostate Cancer
Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS): Sometimes complicated cases of incontinence require implantation of a device known as an artificial urinary sphincter. People who might benefit from this treatment include those who are incontinent after surgery for prostate cancer or stress incontinence, trauma victims and people with congenital defects in the urinary system. The artificial sphincter has three components, including a pump, balloon reservoir, and a cuff that encircles the urethra and prevents urine from leaking out. The cuff is connected to the pump, which is surgically implanted in the scrotum (in men) or labia (in women). The pump can be activated (usually by squeezing or pressing a button) to deflate the cuff and permit the bladder to empty. After a brief interval, the cuff refills itself and the urethra is again closed. Because the artificial sphincter is an implant, it is subject to the risks common to implants, such as infection, erosion (breaking down of tissue) and mechanical malfunction. Yet with appropriate pre-surgical evaluation, operative techniques and postoperative follow-up, many problems can be avoided and incontinent patients can experience an improved quality of life with this device.

Anxiety

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
Brachytherapy: Involves the placement of tiny radioactive pellets into the Prostate gland. By utilizing ultrasound to place the seed pellets, damage to surrounding tissues is minimized. Approximately 13,500-16,000 rads of radiation energy is delivered directly to the Prostate. This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. It is a one time procedure with very effective results. The 10-year follow-up outcome data parallels that of Radical Prostatectomy.
Radiology
Thank you for choosing our office for your urologic care. Below is a questionnaire that will thoroughly review your past history and other factors that may affect your health. This will help me focus on areas that may require additional attention. On your first visit, please bring reports of recent laboratory tests and if you have had x-rays done, bring the films with you. Please obtain copies of your previous urologist's notes; you may need to sign a release for these and it may take two weeks for the information to be sent. Diagnostic tests may be recommended on your first visit: urine or blood tests, radiology studies, cystoscopy, prostate biopsy, or urodyanmic studies. These will need to be scheduled and most will require you to return for the results and to discuss a treatment plan. Please bring your insurance card(s) with you. Payment is expected when service is rendered.
X-Rays
Radiation Therapy
External beam radiation therapy: A 25-28 treatment protocol that utilizes External Beam Radiation. Approximately 6800-7400 rads of radiation energy is delivered to the Prostate. There can be some radiation effect on surrounding tissues.

Vasectomy
Sperm aspiration and microscopic vasectomy reversals are offered in concert with reproductive endocrinologists and advanced reproductive techniques such as IVF and ICSI (Ik'see).
Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy: Surgery using an laparoscope to visualize internal organ through a small incision. Generally less invasive than traditional surgeries requiring a shorter recovery period.

Plastic Surgeons

Gynecomastia
Hormonal therapy: Involves the use of anti-androgens. An androgen is a male hormone needed for the production of testosterone. By depriving the cancer cells of the testosterone they need for growth, tumors regress in size and cellular activity. Side effects include gynecomastia, the enlargement of breast tissue, hot flashes, and loss of libido ( desire to have sex ). Some long term hormonal therapy is associated with the loss of muscle mass, osteoporosis, and malaise ( loss of energy ).

Cyst
Ulcer
Chancre: A hard, syphilitic primary ulcer, the first sign of syphilis, appearing approx. 2 to 3 weeks after infection. The ulcer begins as a painless lesion or papule that ulcerates. Occurs generally singly, but sometimes may be multiple.
