- Ureteral Stricture or Kinking: If you experience pain or difficulty urinating, it could be due to a narrowing or bending of the tubes (ureters) draining your kidneys, a condition called ureteral stricture or kinking; fortunately, effective treatments are available to alleviate symptoms and restore proper urine flow.
- Bladder Cancer: Bladder cancer is a disease where abnormal cells grow in the bladder, but with early detection and treatment, many people can live long and fulfilling lives.
- Undescended Testicles: Undescended testicles, a condition where one or both testicles haven't moved down into the scrotum by the time a boy reaches puberty, is usually addressed in childhood but can have implications later in life, sometimes requiring medical attention to reduce the risk of complications.

Here are answers to some common questions about Urological care with Dr. Ryan Miyamoto:
- What is a Urologist?
- Dr. Miyamoto and our team are urologists, meaning we're medical and surgical specialists who care for conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system. We're experienced in treating issues common in older adults like enlarged prostate, incontinence, kidney stones, and cancers of the urinary system.
- 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. Miyamoto 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 choice, best made after discussing the potential benefits and risks with your doctor. Dr. Miyamoto can help you have this important conversation, considering your age, family history, and overall health.
- I sometimes leak urine when I cough or laugh. What can be done?
- This is a common condition called stress urinary incontinence, often due to weakening pelvic floor muscles. Fortunately, it's very treatable. Options range from simple exercises to minimally invasive procedures like a urethral sling, which can provide lasting relief.
- What is robotic surgery for prostate cancer?
- Dr. Miyamoto's practice uses robotic surgery, like the da Vinci® system, for prostate cancer. This advanced technique allows for precise removal of the prostate through small incisions, resulting in less pain, blood loss, and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
- What is a cystoscopy?
- A cystoscopy is a common in-office procedure where Dr. Miyamoto 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 your comfort.
- Are recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) common in older women?
- Yes, recurrent urinary tract infections are a common problem for older women, particularly after menopause. Hormonal changes can weaken the urinary tract's natural defenses. Dr. Miyamoto can evaluate you to rule out any underlying anatomical issues and create a prevention plan, which might include low-dose antibiotics or other therapies.
- 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 issues, such as heart disease or diabetes. Dr. Miyamoto can conduct a confidential evaluation and discuss a wide range of effective treatments, from oral medications to other advanced therapies.
