Urology care is for women as well as men. Women come to us every week with bladder symptoms, stones, blood in the urine, and questions about a scan or a cancer finding. Our urologists will take those concerns seriously and lay out a plan you can follow.
Talk with a urologist about your results Book online
We care for women at our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center, 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road, and at our Decatur Clinic, 2711 Irvin Way. Call 678-344-8900 to book a visit, or book online.
Bladder control
Sudden urges, frequent trips, leaking with a cough or a laugh, or leaks you cannot quite explain are all reasons to come in. Care often begins with daily habits and pelvic floor therapy, then medicine, and a procedure later if that would help. If tibial nerve stimulation is part of the conversation, our urologists can discuss Altaviva, a small implant. Advanced Urology does not provide needle PTNS sessions. Read more about overactive bladder and bladder leakage.
Stones, and blood that shows up in the urine
Stones can cause wave-like pain in the side or back. Blood in the urine, also called hematuria, may be visible or may first appear on a lab test. Both deserve a look, and both are things our team evaluates in clinic. See kidney stones and blood in the urine.
Cancer questions we also see in women
A spot on a kidney scan, or blood that leads us to look at the bladder, can raise a cancer question. Our urologists will sit with the results beside you and explain what still needs checking. More on our kidney cancer and bladder cancer pages.
Advanced Urology also describes overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, kidney stones and hematuria.
What a first visit for a woman looks like here
Women come to our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center, 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road, and to our Decatur Clinic, 2711 Irvin Way, for bladder control, stones, blood in the urine, and questions about a kidney or bladder scan. The visit is with our urologists, and it is not a second-class version of a men's appointment. Bring a government-issued identification, insurance information if you carry it, a medicine list, and any imaging you already have. Call 678-344-8900, or book online.
We will ask what has changed, do an exam when it would help, and explain the next test before it is scheduled. If tibial nerve stimulation comes up for overactive bladder, we can discuss Altaviva; Advanced Urology does not provide needle PTNS sessions.
A related bladder-control video
Many women come to us first with urgency or leakage. Dr. Marc Greenstein, who practices at our Sandy Springs clinic, gives this official Advanced Urology presentation on overactive bladder. It is background for a visit, and we will still take your own history in the room.
