Timiyin E-Nunu, MD, has joined the Astera Health Care team. Dr. E-Nunu has over a decade of experience in the medical field and specializes in urological care. Urology is the study of the kidneys, ureter, and bladder. These organs are vital to the human body and typically require the care and consultation of a urologist like Dr. E-Nunu.
Dr. E-Nunu is a United States Army urologist, her in-demand skills take her all over the world treating America’s best and bravest. Right now, she is stationed in Texas but visits Astera Health monthly to lend her much-needed urological expertise.
Helping others has always fascinated Dr. E-Nunu. From a young age, she knew she wanted to be a doctor after her younger brother was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. Additionally, her mother is a registered nurse in an ICU and her experiences showed the gratification that comes with full spectrum care.
Being a California native, Dr. E-Nunu loves the outdoors and often rides her bike. She also enjoys binge-watching television. Some of her favorite shows are The Diplomat, Luther, BBC America, and Game of Thrones.
“My philosophy of care is bound by the trust between a provider and a patient.” – Timiyin E-Nunu
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are crystalized minerals that form in the kidneys. This typically occurs from a lack of hydration, poor diet, and obesity. These often cause extreme pain and discomfort in patients which can result in a need for surgery. Dr. E-Nunu is all too familiar with kidney stones, and many of her consultations focus on diagnosing and removing them.
According to Dr. E-Nunu, drinking water is the number one thing a person can do to stave off the formation of kidney stones. Keeping the body hydrated and the kidneys flushed goes a long way to preventing minerals from building up. She also focuses on diet and exercise as a way to prevent kidney stones. She enjoys doing this because not only will it prevent kidney stones, but it also has a positive effect on the rest of the body.
For Men and Women
Many people attribute urology to women’s health issues. However, urology focuses on both genders. Incontinence and kidney-related issues can affect everyone. Urologists also address issues stemming from low testosterone and erectile dysfunction.
