UROLOGICAL HEALTH
Urological Health Clinic
Difficult urination, pelvic discomfort, frequency or leakage, and worries about STIs or the prostate all deserve a proper check-up. From understanding the condition and testing to treatment and prevention, each patient is personally evaluated by Dr. Hsieh.
Start with your symptoms
Which situation sounds most like yours?
Choose the description that fits best to learn about possible causes and how they are evaluated. Symptoms often overlap, and all of them can be assessed at the same visit.
Chronic Prostatitis
Recurrent pelvic or perineal pain and difficult urination; infection usually needs to be ruled out, with longer-term management.

FAQ
Common questions before your visit
Have another question? Feel free to ask about appointments on LINE.
Should I arrive with a full bladder?
If a urine test or bladder ultrasound is needed, a moderately full bladder is helpful. If unsure, ask on LINE first, and avoid holding your urine to the point of discomfort.
Can prostatitis turn into prostate cancer?
There is currently no clear evidence that prostatitis directly causes prostate cancer, but both can raise PSA, so results need to be interpreted by a doctor.
Is frequent urination always a prostate problem?
Not necessarily. Overactive bladder, infection, diabetes, drinking habits or sleep problems can all cause frequency, so a thorough evaluation is needed.
If I suspect an STI, how soon can I be tested?
Window periods differ by infection. After a high-risk exposure, consult early so the doctor can arrange appropriate testing times; within 72 hours of possible HIV exposure, PEP may be evaluated.
Can I just ask via LINE?
LINE is available for appointment and general questions; a personal diagnosis and treatment advice still require an in-person evaluation by the doctor at the clinic.
