CLINICAL TRIAL FOR PROSTATE CANCER
We are pleased to announce several ongoing post-FDA-approved clinical trials for BPH at Golden State Urology. As a center of excellence, Golden State Urology provides leading-edge clinical trials for patients with BPH symptoms who meet the clinical trial requirements.
Several clinical trials are currently open for ongoing enrollment. No health insurance is required to participate in our clinical trials.
WHAT IS BPH?
BPH, also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy, is an abnormal enlargement of the prostate gland. As the prostrate gets larger it starts pressing against the urethra, potentially causing a narrow urethra which restricts or slows the flow of urine. Second, the bladder walls grow thicker while the bladder itself weakens, making it harder for it to fully empty and leaving some urine inside.
If you have an enlarged prostate or high prostate volume and are experiencing the urinary tract symptoms below, you may want to seek treatment for BPH:
– An urgent need to urinate
– Difficulty starting your urine stream
– The need to push or strain when urinating
– Dribbling or weak urine flow
– The sensation that the bladder is not empty after urinating
– Increased frequency of urination – Frequent nighttime urination
– Burning or pain during urination
If BPH is left untreated, permanent bladder damage is a possible outcome. When the bladder does not empty completely, the risk of developing urinary tract infections (UTIs) may increase. Other serious problems can also develop over time, including bladder stones, blood in the urine, incontinence, or urinary retention.

A urologist is a physician whose specialty is maintaining and studying the male reproductive system and the urinary tracts of both men and women. These specialists are certified in diagnosing and treating many conditions in the genitourinary tract, which encompasses the kidneys, urinary bladder, ureter, urethra, and adrenal glands. A urologist also studies and deals with the male reproductive organs — penis, prostate, testicles, epididymis, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, etc. A urologist can also specialize in male fertility as well, performing vasectomies and vasectomy reversals.
Our urologists in Sacramento treat disorders such as urinary tract infections (UTI), kidney stones, hematuria (blood in the urine), kidney cancer, stress incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and cystitis. You will also find a doctor who is skilled in gynecology to address women’s urinary health and in pediatrics to treat urinary issues in children. Golden State Urology employs some of the best urologists in Sacramento with in-depth expertise and extensive experience in treating these conditions.

A urologist can perform in-depth tests to provide an accurate diagnosis. Our team of urology physicians will also prescribe treatment to resolve the underlying cause and help manage your symptoms.
If you have no urological symptoms, a general check-up every few years is usually sufficient. However, men over 40, those with a history of urological issues, or those at risk for prostate cancer should schedule annual visits.
Participating in a clinical trial can give you access to cutting-edge treatments before they are widely available. However, it’s important to discuss the potential risks, benefits, and eligibility criteria with your doctor to determine if a trial aligns with your health needs.
Screening recommendations vary based on age, sex, and risk factors. Men over 50 (or 40 with risk factors) should consider prostate cancer screening. Women may need regular pelvic exams and UTI screenings. Kidney function, bladder health, and STIs are other considerations. Always consult your doctor for personalized recommendations.
Yes, a family history of conditions like prostate cancer, kidney disease, bladder cancer, or infertility can increase your risk. If certain urological issues run in your family, early screening and lifestyle changes may help with prevention and early detection.
