Did you know adrenal cancer can affect your hormones? Dr. Ali explains how this rare cancer can lead to symptoms like high blood pressure, heart palpitations, and sweaty palms, all due to hormone overproduction.

These signs are easy to miss, but they could be your body’s way of saying something’s not right.

September is Urology Awareness Month, and the theme for 2025 is “Bladder Leakage: Time to Act.” To help build awareness, UC Irvine’s School of Medicine is spotlighting Zhina Sadeghi, MD, assistant professor in the Department of Urology and a recipient of the school’s Rising Stars Award.

“Bladder leakage affects millions of people across the whole world,” says Sadeghi. “About 50% to 60% of adults at some point in their life experience some level of leakage for different underlying reasons.” Yet this condition is rarely discussed, often because people are embarrassed or assume it’s a normal part of aging.
