Ashley Bowen's Expert Contributions
Does frequent urination in pregnancy increase the risk of a urinary infection?
Frequent urination is fairly common and luckily not a sign of uti. More likely a sign of a 5lb baby jumping up and down on your bladder. READ MORE
Burning sensation while urinating, is this UTI?
This is a very common symptom of uti, other issues can cause this symptom as well. Need to have urinalysis and careful history to sort out other causes. Ash Bowen, MD, MBA READ MORE
Is a bent penis normal?
A little curvature is normal, anything less than 20 to 30 degrees that doesn't impact your ability to have intercourse or your partner's comfort. Any curvature that interferes with intercourse or over 20 degrees would be considered abnormal and needs to be discussed with a urologist. READ MORE
Female urology?
Definitely, but unfortunately not as many as we need. READ MORE
Can certain foods cause a smell in the urine?
Yes this is true, your body breaks down asparagusic acid into sulphur compounds, which your kidneys excrete creating the smell. READ MORE
Is stem cell therapy useful for neurogenic bladder?
Stem cells for NGB is currently considered experimental. If part of a clinical trial go for it, if requiring cash payment, I would be a little skeptical READ MORE
Why is the tip of my penis turning white?
This is sounds a little like BXO (balanitis xerotica obliterans). Can be cause or effect from blockage. Should definitely see a urologist for evaluation. READ MORE
What is the reason for splenomegaly during pregnancy?
Splenomegaly means an enlarged spleen, but out of my ballpark, check with your OB, sorry. READ MORE
Urinate, pause, urinate some more
No going to the bathroom more often than every two hours is abnormal. This is most commonly do to overactive bladder, but can also be caused by more serious things. Need to have a urinalysis. Start by reducing caffeine intake, and de-constipation if not having daily bowel movements. READ MORE
Is my urinary incontinence problem permanent?
First step is kegel's exercises. If no benefit and done having kids, a sling is a good option. READ MORE
Is Cranberry juice really effective in treating a UTI?
Cranberry is only effective in treating E. Coli UTIs as it prevents the bacteria from attaching to the bladder wall. If UTIs are not from e coli, probably won't help, but if E. Coli, I usually recommend cystex cranberry (amazon) 1 Tbsp per day. READ MORE
Why was I referred to a nephrologist?
Some Nephrologists take on the role of kidney stone prevention. Checking 24 hour urinalyses and making dietary and medicine recommendations to prevent future stones READ MORE
What causes cloudy urine?
Bubbles usually don't mean much. Darkness is due to amount of hydration, when not hydrated smell is also stronger READ MORE
I am urinating more frequently than before. What could be the reason for this?
Not sure, could be increase fluid consumption, caffeine or new overactive bladder READ MORE
Blood in the urine. What could be the reason for this?
Visible blood in the urine is always concerning, need to get checked out by local urologist READ MORE
I have dark urine despite being hydrated - What's wrong?
Usually not, could be diet, a simple urinalysis in your regular doctors office could confirm nothing to worry about. READ MORE
UTIs (male) with no symptoms?
Most commonly this is due to cleaning issues especially in uncircumcised men. However, your doctor should make sure you are emptying your bladder well. If any blood in the urine check for stones. READ MORE
UTI infection question
Unfortunately, the effect can be quite profound. Any exacerbation or illness can have a negative effect on memory, especially in those with early signs of dementia. This may also be due to delayed recognition of symptoms due to baseline cognitive issues. READ MORE
I have to get up to pee throughout the night and it interrupts my sleep. Is something wrong?
If getting up more than 2 times per night, that is abnormal. Most commonly due to enlarged prostate in men, or overactive bladder in women. If a heavy snoring, may need sleep study. READ MORE
I have to get an orchiectomy. Can I have an implant inserted immediately? What's the process like for getting an implant?
Yes, a testicular prosthesis can be put in at the time of radical orchiectomy. I would caution that many patients regret having them put in, due to pain. READ MORE
