How We Approach Urologic Conditions
Most Conditions Follow A Similar Path:
Careful Evaluation
Dr. Libby listens to your symptoms, reviews your health history, and looks at any prior records.
Focused Testing
When needed, he orders blood work, urine tests, imaging, or office procedures to clarify the problem.
Treatment And Prevention
Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, medication, in office procedures, or surgery at an affiliated hospital. The long term plan focuses on both symptom relief and prevention where possible.
You can click any condition below to read more about symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment choices.
Kidney And Urinary Tract Conditions
Kidney Stone Management
Kidney stones cause sharp flank or back pain, nausea, and sometimes blood in the urine. The Kidney Stone Management page explains how stones form, what symptoms to watch for, when to see a urologist, and how options such as pain control, medication, and stone procedures work.
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Treatment
Frequent or painful urination, burning, and strong urges can point to a urinary tract infection. On the UTI Treatment page, you learn how UTIs are diagnosed, why some people get them repeatedly, and what can be done to treat the current infection and reduce future episodes.
Hematuria (Blood in Urine)
Blood in the urine is never normal. The Hematuria page explains possible causes, from infection and stones to more serious problems, and outlines the evaluation process that often includes urine tests, imaging, and sometimes cystoscopy.
Bladder And Urinary Control Conditions
Overactive Bladder (OAB)
Overactive bladder causes urgency, frequent trips to the bathroom, and sometimes leakage before you reach the toilet. The OAB page covers symptom patterns, lifestyle changes, medications, and treatments such as bladder injections when pills are not enough.
Urinary Leakage And Incontinence
Urinary leakage can result from stress incontinence, urgency, or a mix of both. Incontinence is addressed within several condition pages, including Overactive Bladder and Women’s Health, and connects with treatment options on the Procedures and Women’s Health pages.
Prostate Conditions
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
BPH, or enlarged prostate, is a common cause of weak stream, slow flow, starting and stopping, and nighttime urination in men as they age. The BPH page explains how the prostate changes, how BPH is diagnosed, and the full range of treatment options, from medication to procedures such as Aquablation, GreenLight, and Urolift.
Prostate Related Concerns
Elevated PSA, inflammation, and possible cancer are covered across the BPH page and procedure pages such as Prostate Biopsy and Prostate Cancer Genetic Screening. These resources explain why certain tests and follow up plans are recommended.
Men’s Sexual Health Conditions
Erectile Dysfunction Solutions
Erectile dysfunction affects confidence, relationships, and quality of life. The Erectile Dysfunction Solutions page reviews common causes, lifestyle factors, testing, medication options, and procedures such as wave therapy and penile prosthesis when needed.
Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease involves a curve or bend of the penis, often with pain or difficulty during intercourse. The Peyronie’s Disease page explains how scar tissue forms, typical symptom patterns, and treatment approaches, from medication and injections to surgery in selected cases.
Low Testosterone
Low testosterone can lead to fatigue, low sex drive, erectile problems, and changes in mood and body composition. The Low Testosterone page describes causes, how testing works, and when testosterone replacement or related treatments might be considered.
(TRT) Alternatives
Not every man with symptoms will benefit from standard testosterone replacement. The TRT Alternatives page focuses on other ways to support hormone balance and energy, including lifestyle, non testostone options, and how these choices interact with sexual health and long term risks.
Hormone And Metabolic Health
Biote Hormone Therapy
Biote Hormone Therapy uses bio identical hormone pellets with structured dosing. The Biote page explains how pellets are placed, how dosing is customized, what patients might expect after treatment, and how hormone therapy fits into overall urologic and sexual health.
Semaglutide And Tirzepatide
Weight and metabolic health affect energy, hormones, and urologic symptoms. The Semaglutide and Tirzepatide page describes how these medications work for weight management, who they may fit, and how they interact with broader health and urology goals.
Family Planning And Permanent Birth Control
Vasectomy Services
Vasectomy is a permanent birth control option for men who feel certain they do not want more children. The Vasectomy Services page explains how the procedure works, what to expect before and after, how success is confirmed, and common questions about recovery and long term effects.
How To Use This Conditions Section
If You See A Condition That Sounds Like What You Are Experiencing:
- Read the overview page for that condition
- Make note of which symptoms match your own and which do not
- Write down questions that come to mind
Then schedule a visit with Dr. Libby. Symptoms often overlap between conditions, and self diagnosis is not reliable. An in person evaluation is the safest way to reach a clear answer and a plan that fits you.
Riverstone Urology is here to help adults in Cypress, The Woodlands, and the North Houston area understand their condition and move toward effective treatment, one step at a time.
