I'm glad you saved that lady's life that you found cancer in.❤🙏🕊
Me too
That was excellent!
Amazing. Thanks you so much!
You’re welcome!
Thank you Doctor for explaining everything.
You’re welcome!
Nice video Doctor Christi!
Thanks!
When I go to my Kaiser Urology office, I can expect they continue to their “archaic” and out dated methods. I was treated for prostate cancer and all they want to do is biopsies. After painful episodes, I turned to holistic medical professionals who successfully used other methods to resolve the BS diagnosis by Kaiser. I eventually discovered I had congestion in my prostate, treated with regular prostate massage and acupuncture. My PSA at Kaiser started at high levels, then after holistic treatment reduced to 5.0.
That’s great! Holistic medicine is powerful!
OMG! 😮Thank you about the 2 wipes! 2WIPES! I’m only given 1 ever! I’m asking for 2from now on. “2”
I wasn’t even asked to wipe so I did it all wrong 😑
The doctor they referred me to is insisting that I be catheterized for the urine sample, and I do not feel that is necessary. I am going for kidney stones, so I dont see the need for that.
Thank you from Canada.
Welcome!
Wish I had discovered this tutorial before my visit. Most was similar to my experience, but the blood in my urine with pain was never resolved. I never had a pelvic exam at the urologist……maybe because my gynecologist was the one that referred me. I was discharged from their practice 4 months later, still having pain and blood in my urine. They only did a urine culture, which was negative. Wish you were in my area.
It's crazy how we come across nurses like this thin they be in another state
Thank you for this video. I would definitely make an appointment with you if I lived nearby. Do you have any contacts in central Ohio that would be as comprehensive as your practice?
No, sorry
Thank you so much for explaining what I need to expect when going to my OBGYN/Urogynocologist for uncontrollable urination. Can't hold it once it starts. No matter how hard I squeeze I cant stop it.Completely pee myself and getting worse. Sometimes I don't even get a warning that I have to go. Just comes out and can't stop it. It's terribly embarrassing if it happens in public.😢
I’ve experienced that very same thing and have no answers to why, my first time it happened was back in 2017 on vacation in ND. And has happened after physical therapy as well as other times.
I feel your frustration and embarrassment. Bless you
There are great treatments for that
Thank you for explaining..wish i came across this video before i had my first time in office cystoscopy supposedly by a top notch urologist in Arcadia, Ca.
Wow was i mistaken. It was done by a monster who did not take 5 minutes to explain the procedure. Not only was it extremely painful and humiliating your modesty is out the window.
Even the nurse who had the personality of a cold doorknob she was like a robot going through the motions. She gets me ready the so-called urologist comes in just like a drive-through high and next.
Then not only afterwards while still in that awkward position on the table he touched me inappropriately and had the audacity to ask if i had a hysterectomy! Are you freaking kidding?
I still do not have a real diagnosis only for him to say everything was fine and see you in a year...yea right when pig's fly buddy!
I did complain and really used my voice of the unprofessional treatment received by this dr.and his staff.
Oh it got worse 5 days later severe complication that i did not expect had to go back to see him and you do not say no to this freak. I had to be cath for a urine sample i said No but,he would not treat me otherwise and a Shot that i said No as well
He did not like it. I needed treatment so i said wth do it and get me the hell out of here!! I was in so much pain and angry!
I Will Never Have this Procedure AGAIN!!
THIS DR....I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MEDICAL BOARD AGAINST HIM AND THE STAFF.
I have told all my friends never to go through this procedure find alternatives.
As a woman i felt violated i went on trust to this so called urologist and he betrayed that trust!!
Never again..
Thank you.
Angry in California 😡🤬
I’m sorry that happened. It is not supposed to be like that.
I am going to a urologist for my bladder but I’m worried because I’m not able to get on the table even step on the stool due to extreme lymphadema in my stomach and legs. Are there low tables available? Thank you for your response.
What? Insurance only allows you 15 minutes to do all that?! Unbelievable!
Anyhow, thanks for this information, Dr. Christie. Wish you were in my area ❤
I’m in Spokane and we only have 2 doctors who deal with this situation. Makes the waiting time even harder.
This is true for all physicians everywhere. Our health care system is horrid, mostly due to private equity and the corporatizing of health care out to make as much profit for themselves and investors as possible with an industry we all desperately need. Nothing like having a product that's needed on a life or death circumstance; who's going to say no? Pay up if you want to live.
I personally hated going to the urogynecologist. Just pain and embarrassment. The procedures really accelerated my anxiety.
Hi Dr. Christi,
My MRI prostate report shows that my Transition zone has PI-RADS 5 and the Peripheral zone has PI-RADS 2. Should I go for a biopsy as I am 69 years and 1 month old now!
Am I suitable for the biopsy at this age too??
Please advice🙏
From: James
My doc walked in the exam room and said I need you to pee in this cup.
I said "From Here"?
Lol
I thought you were going to address male and female expectations.
Well, aside from the doctor poking her hands inside the patient, it would probably be much the same.
What cause me to have urinary retention I see 3urology but no one can say now I cath my self please what else can be done
You need Urodynamics
@@LifeSculptbyChristiMD where can I go
Find a urologist near you
Doctor do you know any Urogynecologist in South Africa that you can refer me ??
No sorry
Got my check up in Sept. I'm already so scared. Not sure how to survive the next months. Urology is a special kind of evil. At least I have a female. Don't understand why there's no females in urology.
Th are many females. It depends what part of the country you live in. I live in CT not to far from NYC. I’m also close to Yale New Haven Hospital. Yale’s network of doctors includes many female urologists. I consider myself extremely fortunate.
@@doc145 I live in central PA. I would have to drive several hours for a female urologist. I've been lucky to find a great female PA, but I'm screwed if and when I need a procedure done. Don't know how or if I will survive.
@jessman8597 Because the majority of patients are men and most men are very uncomfortable with female doctors and female doctors are often very unprofessional especially when it comes to modesty. However for men that have a history or sexual assault I can understand why they are not comfortable with a male doctor. I recommend Hershey because they have more options. In my religion it is forbidden to have a women that I am not married to look at my genitals. I am a orthodox Christian we have strict modesty policies.
@@bronsonleach3573 It's interesting, my experience has been so different. The female doctors have been more professional and were the ones to protect my privacy to the absolute max. A male doctor said "everyone here is here for the same reason, so your privacy should be of no concern."
I wish I did live closer to Hershey. I looked at them, but not sure it's worth the 2.5 hour drive.
I come from an Evangelical background, but I don't have the issue in medical settings.
You can expect pain and embarrassment that’s the quick answer use the anagram HEaD. Humiliating Embarrassing and Degrading
No! It shouldn’t be that way
If i have to go to urologist i wil ,But i swear it wil never be a female urologist.I wil never let myself hummiliate by them
Keep in mind that, even if you go to a male doctor, his staff (admin, nurses, MA's, PA's) are almost certain to be female.
@@billphisternot here in europe.
@@frankyvanlerberghe5794you guys in Europe are lucky in Canada they surround men with females in intimate procedures
That's the best thing i heard
Lucky Europeans not being surrounded by females in intimate situations,most of them just hanging around looking at male genitalia trying to get mam embarrassed
