Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Omer Kineish 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:
- Bladder Cancer: Bladder cancer treatment aims to remove the cancer and relieve symptoms, often improving bladder function and overall comfort, so you can enjoy your daily activities.
- Phimosis: If an older man has trouble pulling back the foreskin of his penis, it might be phimosis, a condition easily managed with appropriate medical attention.
- Urinary Hesitancy: If you find it difficult to begin urinating, experiencing a delayed or hesitant start, it's called urinary hesitancy, and talking to your doctor can help manage this.
- Acute Cystitis: If you're experiencing burning when you urinate and a need to go often, you might have acute cystitis, a bladder infection treatable with antibiotics, leading to quick relief and improved comfort.
- Male Infertility: Difficulty conceiving a child in later life can be addressed through various options like lifestyle changes, medication, or assisted reproductive technologies.
- Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis: Managing chronic bacterial prostatitis involves working with your doctor to find the right antibiotics to control the infection and ease symptoms like pain and frequent urination, ensuring you can remain comfortable and active.

- Painful Urination (Dysuria): If you're finding urination painful, don't hesitate to seek medical attention; it's treatable, and managing the pain can significantly improve your comfort and overall well-being.
- Urinary Retention: If you're experiencing urinary retention, it means your bladder isn't fully emptying, which can lead to discomfort and potential health issues, but treatments are available to help.
- Prostatic Abscess: A prostatic abscess is a collection of pus in the prostate, leading to significant pain and urinary difficulties; effective treatment typically involves antibiotics and might include a procedure to drain the abscess, restoring comfort and reducing the risk of complications.
- Blood in Urine (Hematuria): The presence of blood in your urine needs to be checked out by a doctor to identify the underlying reason. This will allow you and your doctor to work together to improve your health and daily life.

Here are answers to some common questions about Urological care with Dr. Omer Kineish:
- What is a Urologist?
- Dr. Kineish and our team are urologists, meaning we're medical and surgical specialists who treat conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system. We have expertise in managing common senior issues such as 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 is a medical symptom that should be evaluated. For men, it's often a sign of an enlarged prostate (BPH), and for both men and women, it can be a sign of an overactive bladder. Dr. Kineish can diagnose the cause and offer many effective treatments to improve your comfort and sleep.
- What is a PSA test and who should have it?
- The PSA test is a simple blood test used to screen for prostate cancer. Deciding whether to have a PSA test is a personal decision best made after discussing the potential benefits and risks with your doctor. Dr. Kineish can help you have this important conversation to make an informed choice based on your age, family history, and overall health.
- I'm experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED). Is this something a urologist treats?
- Yes, erectile dysfunction (ED) is a very common condition, and urologists are the primary specialists who treat it. It can be linked to other health concerns, like heart disease or diabetes. Dr. Kineish can conduct a confidential evaluation and discuss a wide range of effective treatments, from oral medications to other advanced 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. Kineish can perform procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or use lasers to break them up.
- What is BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)?
- BPH is a common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that often occurs in aging men. As the prostate grows, it can press on the urethra, leading to urinary problems such as a weak stream, frequent urination, and difficulty starting. Dr. Kineish offers a range of treatments, from medication to minimally invasive procedures like UroLift® or Rezum.
- 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 for precise surgery through small incisions, leading to less pain, less blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
- Are recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) common in older women?
- Yes, recurrent urinary tract infections are unfortunately common in postmenopausal women. Hormonal changes can weaken the urinary tract's natural defenses, making them more susceptible. Dr. Kineish can evaluate for underlying anatomical issues and create a prevention strategy, which may include low-dose antibiotics or other therapies.
