Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Travis Allemang 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:
- Hydronephrosis: A blockage in your urinary tract can result in hydronephrosis, causing your kidney to swell; prompt treatment can usually prevent serious complications.
- Elevated PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen): If your PSA level is elevated, don't worryyour doctor will work with you to figure out what's causing it and create a personalized plan to address any concerns, possibly including further tests and monitoring.
- Vesicoureteral Reflux: Vesicoureteral reflux is a condition where urine flows backward into the kidneys instead of out of the body. This can cause infections, but treatment, such as medication or surgery, helps reduce infection risk and protects your kidney health, preserving your independence.
- Erectile Dysfunction: Many effective treatments are available for erectile dysfunction, improving sexual function and intimacy for older adults and their partners.
- 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.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of your bladder or kidneys, often characterized by painful or frequent urination. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics can prevent further complications and preserve your health.
- Pyonephrosis: Pyonephrosis is a painful kidney infection characterized by pus accumulation, which can be treated effectively with antibiotics and sometimes surgery to remove the infection and restore your health, allowing you to remain more active and independent.
- Hypogonadism: As men age, their testosterone levels may naturally decline, causing a condition called hypogonadism. Treatment options, like testosterone replacement, can often help alleviate associated symptoms and improve overall well-being.
- Enlarged Prostate (BPH): As men age, their prostate gland may enlarge, leading to a condition called BPH. This can make urination difficult, but various treatments, from medication to surgery, can help restore a more normal flow and improve your daily life.
- Urethra Cancer: Urethral cancer is a rare cancer affecting the tube that carries urine from the bladder, and it's often treatable with the right medical care, potentially preserving urinary function and quality of life.
- Acute Bacterial Prostatitis: This is a serious infection of the prostate gland requiring immediate medical attention. Treatment, usually antibiotics, helps resolve the infection quickly, reducing pain and improving overall well-being.
- Chronic Kidney Diseases: Chronic kidney disease doesn't mean the end of a fulfilling life; many people with CKD live long and healthy lives with regular monitoring and treatment.
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.

- Prostatectomy with Robotic Assist: This advanced surgical technique uses robotic arms for enhanced precision and control during prostate removal, leading to faster recovery times and fewer complications for seniors.
- Bladder Function Test: This non-invasive test helps your doctor assess bladder health, enabling earlier detection and management of conditions like overactive bladder or urinary retention.
- Lithotripsy: As part of your comprehensive kidney stone care plan, lithotripsy offers a non-invasive way to remove stones, minimizing the need for more extensive surgery.
- Prostate Cancer Screening Exam (DRE): A digital rectal exam (DRE) is a quick check your doctor performs to feel your prostate gland for any abnormalities, helping detect potential prostate problems early.
- Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy or Pyelostolithotomy: This procedure helps seniors manage kidney stones by using small incisions to remove them, reducing the need for extensive surgery and improving overall health.
- Resection of Bladder Neck: As part of a comprehensive care plan, bladder neck resection helps manage urinary problems stemming from an enlarged prostate or other bladder outlet obstructions in older adults.
- Bladder Scan: By measuring the urine remaining after you urinate, a bladder scan helps your doctor understand the effectiveness of your current treatment for conditions like an enlarged prostate or bladder problems.
- Cystotomy: As part of your comprehensive care plan, a cystotomy may be used to relieve bladder pressure or remove bladder stones, leading to improved comfort and function.
- Orchiectomy: In certain cases of testicular cancer or other conditions affecting the testicles, an orchiectomy is performed to remove the affected tissue and prevent further complications.
- Circumcision: For some men, circumcision may aid in the treatment of phimosis (inability to retract the foreskin) which can lead to other complications like infection; it's a procedure discussed as part of a complete care plan.
- Vasectomy: As part of a comprehensive men's health plan, a vasectomy can be a key decision for seniors seeking sterilization and preventing unwanted pregnancies.

Here are answers to some common questions about Urological care with Dr. Travis Allemang:
- What is a Urologist?
- Dr. Allemang and our team of urologists are medical and surgical specialists who treat conditions of the urinary tract in men and women, and the male reproductive system. We have expertise in managing common senior 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 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. Allemang 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?
- A PSA test is a simple blood test that screens for prostate cancer. The decision to have a PSA test is a personal one, and should be discussed with Dr. Allemang to weigh the potential benefits and risks based on individual circumstances. Dr. Allemang can help you make an informed choice considering your age, family history, and overall health.
- What is a cystoscopy?
- A cystoscopy is a common in-office procedure where Dr. Allemang 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) can be a frequent problem for postmenopausal women due to hormonal changes affecting the urinary tract's natural defenses. Dr. Allemang can evaluate to rule out any underlying anatomical issues and create a prevention strategy, which might include low-dose antibiotics or other therapies.
- What is BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)?
- BPH is a common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that often occurs with aging. As the prostate grows, it can squeeze the urethra, leading to urinary problems like a weak stream, frequent urination, and difficulty starting. Dr. Allemang offers a range of treatments, from medication to minimally invasive procedures like UroLift® or Rezum.
- I sometimes leak urine when I cough or laugh. What can be done?
- This is a very common condition, called stress urinary incontinence, often affecting women due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. Fortunately, there are several effective treatments, ranging from exercises to minimally invasive procedures like a urethral sling, that can provide lasting relief.
- 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 severe 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. Allemang can perform procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or use lasers to break them up.
