Bladder Problems? You’re Not Alone.

It may be uncomfortable to talk about your bladder problems, but doing so is the first step to effective treatment. To recognize Bladder Health Awareness Month, we want you to know your problems are not only treatable, they’re common!

• About 1 in 10 Americans suffer from an overactive bladder. The sudden urge to urinate can be frustrating and disruptive to many aspects of your daily life.
• One in two women age 65+ are impacted by stress urinary incontinence. There’s nothing funny about leaking when you laugh, sneeze, cough, or exercise. Learn about your many treatment options.
• Bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the U.S. It’s highly treatable when caught early. Find out what to look for.
• About 1-4 million men, and 3-8 million women have symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome. If you have bladder pain that lasts more than six weeks, ask your doctor if it could be Interstitial Cystitis.

Every day our experienced providers consult with patients suffering from bladder control problems. Once we uncover the cause of the problem, we carefully discuss each treatment option to find the one that’s right for you. Nearly all bladder problems are treatable, that’s why we won’t give up until your problem is resolved and your quality of life is restored.

If you’re suffering from a bladder control problem, let’s talk. Request an appointment.

Our Sincere Thanks

Exceptional Care for Advanced Prostate Cancer

A diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer is tough to swallow. You want a team of specialists who are experienced across the entire spectrum of prostate cancer’s advanced stages. That means urologists, medical and radiation oncologists, and advanced practice providers who specialize in advanced prostate cancer (APC).

Our Southwest Florida team is led by Dr. Spencer Land who has and continues to receive advanced training to appropriately treat APC. Because every prostate cancer patient is unique, you can expect a treatment plan that is personalized to your individual situation. Backed by clinical research, Dr. Land and his team will recommend the latest advancements in treatment suitable to your unique disease state. This may include oral medication, infusion-based medications, or genetic targeted medications.

Your care team also includes an APC Navigator who will:

• Ensure your treatment is on track
• Refer you to available resources
• Answer questions from you and your family
• Provide you and your family with ongoing support

If you’ve been diagnosed with prostate cancer, look to the care team at AUI for a treatment plan that is exceptional, compassionate, and personalized to your individual cancer state.

Year-End Healthcare Reminder

Imagine a new year without the worries of an overactive bladder, enlarged prostate, or a weak pelvic floor. If you’ve met your yearly deductible for health insurance, now is a good time to schedule those treatments you may have been putting off. Review your plan details to be sure you’ve met your annual deductible, and to confirm it resets on January 1, 2026.
