Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Angelo Gousse provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Undescended Testicles: If you or a loved one has concerns about undescended testicles diagnosed in childhood or suspect there might be issues later in life, consulting a urologist for an evaluation can ensure prompt management and reduce any potential risks.
- Kidney Stones: Kidney stones can interfere with your daily activities, but effective management, which may involve medication or surgical intervention, aims to alleviate the pain and improve your overall quality of life.
- Hydronephrosis: If you're experiencing kidney pain or changes in urination, it could be hydronephrosis, a condition where a blockage prevents urine from draining properly; early intervention can usually restore normal kidney function and improve comfort.
- Sperm Abnormalities: If a senior gentleman is having difficulties with fertility, it is essential to understand that sperm abnormalities may be a factor; a consultation with a urologist can provide answers and potential solutions.
- Sexual Arousal Disorder: Many older adults experience challenges with sexual arousal; this can stem from various medical conditions, hormonal shifts, or emotional factors, and thankfully, there are effective treatments available to improve sexual function and overall well-being.
- Bladder Diverticulum: If a bladder diverticulum causes bothersome symptoms like urinary tract infections or incomplete bladder emptying, treatments like medication or surgery can help restore better bladder function and improve your quality of life.
- Chordee: Chordee is a condition where the penis curves during development, which can sometimes cause discomfort or difficulty with urination or sexual function, but thankfully, surgical correction can often alleviate these issues.
- Prostatitis: If you're dealing with pelvic pain and urinary problems, it could be prostatitis. Fortunately, this condition is treatable, and many men find significant relief with the right medical care, enabling them to remain active and engaged.
- Nighttime Urination (Nocturia): Frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom may indicate an underlying health issue, but it's important to remember that treatment is available to restore more restful sleep and enhance your daily life.
- Ureteral Stones: Experiencing flank pain or difficulty urinating? Ureteral stones, small mineral deposits in the tubes leading from your kidneys, are treatable and relief can often be achieved through medical intervention, preserving your comfort and independence.
- Chronic Kidney Diseases: Managing CKD involves close monitoring of your health and working with healthcare professionals to make lifestyle adjustments and, if necessary, consider treatments to improve your overall well-being and maintain your independence.
- Urinary Incontinence: Urinary incontinence is the unintentional leakage of urine, a common problem that can be effectively managed with various treatments to help you maintain your dignity and independence.
This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional based on your specific health history.

Here are answers to some common questions about Urological care with Dr. Angelo Gousse:
- What is a Urologist?
- Dr. Gousse is a urologist, a medical and surgical specialist who treats conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system. His expertise is valuable for seniors facing issues like enlarged prostate, urinary incontinence, kidney stones, and cancers of the prostate, bladder, and kidneys.
- I have to urinate frequently, especially at night. Is this just a normal part of getting older?
- While urinary patterns can change with age, frequent or urgent urination, especially at night, is a medical symptom that should be evaluated. For men, this is often a sign of an enlarged prostate (BPH), and for both men and women, it can be a sign of an overactive bladder. Dr. Gousse can diagnose the cause and offer effective treatments to improve your comfort and sleep.
- What is a PSA test and who should have it?
- A PSA test is a simple blood test used to screen for prostate cancer. The decision to have a PSA test is a personal one, best made after discussing the potential benefits and risks with your doctor. Dr. Gousse can help you have this important conversation, considering your age, family history, and overall health.
- What is a cystoscopy?
- A cystoscopy is a common in-office procedure where Dr. Gousse uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to look inside your bladder and urethra. It's often used to investigate issues like blood in the urine or recurring urinary tract infections. The procedure is quick and performed with numbing gel for comfort.
- Are recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) common in older women?
- Yes, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are unfortunately quite common in postmenopausal women. Hormonal changes can weaken the urinary tract's natural defenses, making them more susceptible. Dr. Gousse can investigate for underlying anatomical issues and create a prevention strategy, which might include low-dose antibiotics or other therapies.
- What is a kidney stone and how is it treated?
- Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. They can cause significant pain as they pass through the urinary tract. Many small stones can be passed by drinking plenty of water and taking pain medication, but for larger stones, Dr. Gousse can perform procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or use lasers to break them up.
- What is robotic surgery for prostate cancer?
- Robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, is an advanced, minimally invasive technique for prostate removal. It allows the surgeon to operate with extreme precision through very small incisions, leading to less pain, less blood loss, and often a faster recovery and return to normal activities compared to traditional open surgery.
- I'm experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED). Is this something a urologist treats?
- Yes, erectile dysfunction (ED) is a very common condition that urologists specialize in treating. It can sometimes be linked to other health concerns like heart disease or diabetes. Dr. Gousse can conduct a confidential evaluation and discuss a range of effective treatments, from oral medications to other advanced therapies.
