TO PEE OR NOT TO PEE THAT IS THE QUESTION URINE TROUBLE TO PEE OR NOT TO PEE THAT IS THE QUESTION Shawn McGlew PA-C, DFAAPA Kennebec County Urology Manchester/Oakland, ME
Pre-Test T or F Incontinence is natural part of aging for women not men. Renal ultrasound is the best imaging study for stones. A high sodium diet is the number one reason for stones. Finasteride is a first line treatment for BPH. If CT sees a stone no further imaging is needed. Renal U/S is the most cost effective for hematuria.
