Large-sized or multiple stones may lead to extreme pain and often require emergency care. Surgical and nonsurgical interventions including LASER surgery are offered as lines of treatments.

Sexual health encompasses physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being related to sexuality. It involves a positive and respectful approach to sexual relationships and experiences, free from coercion, discrimination, and violence. Good sexual health includes the ability to have pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, as well as the capacity for reproductive choice. Key aspects of sexual health include understanding and practising safe sex and addressing concerns like sexually transmitted infections (STIs), contraception, fertility, sexual function, and intimacy. It is essential to have open lines of communication with partners and healthcare providers. Promoting sexual health contributes to overall well-being and fosters healthy relationships and attitudes towards sexuality.

Urinary stones are hard deposits made up of minerals and salts that form in your kidneys or bladder. They can vary in size and numbers and are usually characterised by a sharp pain at the side of the abdomen. Treatment protocols include watchful waiting, breaking the stones through LASER treatment and surgical removal.

Prostate enlargement or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in which the prostate gland grows abnormally large in size. It causes urinary bladder symptoms such as a disrupted urine flow or the urge to urinate at night. We offer conventional and advanced treatment options for BPH including TURP, LASER therapy, minimally invasive surgery and medicinal approach.

Prostatitis is a condition that causes inflammation and swelling of the prostate gland and is characterised by urinary problems. This condition can occur acutely or develop gradually in older men. The treatment of prostatitis depends upon its type and severity of symptoms. Our urologists offer effective and individualised treatment through a combination of medications and lifestyle modifications.

Urinary problems present in the form of symptoms for a variety of urological conditions such as urinary incontinence, urinary tract infections, overactive bladder and dysuria. Our urologists incorporate the latest treatment protocols to instantly relieve symptoms. Treatments depend upon the type of condition, the severity of symptoms, the patient’s overall health and age.

The cancers that affect the urinary system are called urological cancers. These include cancers of the kidney, prostate, bladder, testicles and penis. Our team works in seamless collaboration with oncologists to offer you multi-skilled care. We provide risk assessment, preventive measures, high-precise diagnosis and surgical as well as non-surgical treatments for urological cancers.

Female pelvic problems, also known as, urogynaecological disorders, are the conditions that affect a woman’s ability to urinate or have a bowel movement. These problems are caused by weakened pelvic muscles due to pregnancy or childbirth. Our female urology specialists offer medical interventions, minimally invasive surgeries and pelvic floor therapy for these conditions.

Male sexual dysfunction is caused by problems that prevent a man from getting sexual satisfaction. There are different types of sexual dysfunction in men such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and low libido. We offer complete evaluation, medical and surgical treatment of male sexual dysfunction and related issues in a private and discreet manner.

Urological surgeries are delicate as they deal with the most sensitive parts of your body. Accuracy is highly important in pelvic procedures since it is where most of your veins, arteries and organs are. Which is why the robot assisted technology has gradually come out as a front runner, making our urologists the most advanced team dedicated towards improved clinical outcomes with advanced infrastructure.

An abnormal tunnel-like tract between the skin surrounding the anus and the anal canal, also known as the rectum, is called an anal fistula. It typically develops as a complication of an anal abscess, where infected fluid accumulates and then drains, leaving behind this abnormal passageway. Symptoms include persistent anal pain, swelling, discharge, and sometimes fever. Treatment usually involves surgical intervention to remove the fistula and prevent recurrence. Procedures range from simple drainage to complex surgeries depending on the location and complexity of the fistula. Timely medical intervention is essential to avoid problems and promote appropriate recovery.

Bladder prolapse, or cystocele, occurs when the bladder drops into the vagina due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. This common condition often results from childbirth, ageing, or repetitive heavy lifting. Symptoms include pelvic pressure, urinary leakage, and discomfort. Treatment options range from pelvic floor exercises to pessaries (supportive devices) and surgical repair for severe cases. Management focuses on improving pelvic muscle strength and addressing symptoms to enhance quality of life. Early diagnosis and tailored interventions can effectively alleviate symptoms and prevent complications, promoting comfort and well-being for individuals affected by bladder prolapse.

The bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the source of gonorrhoea, a sexually transmitted illness (STI). It primarily affects the urethra, rectum, throat, and reproductive organs. Painful urination, unusual discharge, and pelvic discomfort are possible symptoms. However, many cases are asymptomatic. Untreated gonorrhoea can lead to serious complications like pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. Diagnosis involves laboratory testing of urine, swabs, or other samples. Treatment typically includes antibiotics, though drug-resistant strains are a concern. Prevention focuses on safe sexual practices such as condom use and regular STI screenings. Public health efforts emphasise education and awareness to curb the spread of gonorrhea.

A hydrocele is a common condition characterised by a buildup of fluid around the testicle, within the sac-like covering called the tunica vaginalis. This fluid accumulation causes swelling in the scrotum. Hydroceles can be congenital (present at birth) or develop later in life due to injury, infection, or inflammation. Typically painless, they may resolve on their own in infants. In adults, treatment options include aspiration (draining the fluid with a needle) or surgery (hydrocelectomy) for persistent cases. While hydroceles often don’t pose serious health risks, medical evaluation is recommended to rule out underlying conditions or complications.

Solid deposits of minerals and salts inside the kidneys or urinary system are known as kidney stones. They develop when urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallise and stick together. Symptoms include severe pain in the back or side, groin pain, blood in urine, and nausea/vomiting. Factors like dehydration, certain diets, and underlying medical conditions contribute to stone formation. Diagnosis involves imaging tests and urine analysis. Treatment options range from increased fluid intake and pain management to procedures like lithotripsy (breaking stones with shock waves) or surgical removal for larger stones. Prevention strategies include hydration, dietary changes, and medication to reduce stone formation risk.

Prostate cancer is a common cancer in men, arising from abnormal growth of cells in the prostate gland. Risk factors include age, family history, and ethnicity. Early stages may be asymptomatic or show mild symptoms like urinary changes. Advanced disease can cause bone pain and weight loss. Diagnosis involves a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test, digital rectal exam, and biopsy. Treatment options depend on the cancer stage and health status, including active surveillance, surgery, radiation, hormone therapy, or chemotherapy. Prognosis varies, with early detection improving outcomes. Regular screening and awareness are crucial for managing prostate cancer effectively.

Urinary incontinence refers to the involuntary leakage of urine, affecting people of all ages but is more common in older adults. Types include stress incontinence (leakage during physical activities), urge incontinence (sudden, intense urge to urinate), and overflow incontinence (inability to empty the bladder). Causes range from weakened pelvic floor muscles (often due to childbirth or ageing) to neurological conditions, infections, or medications. Medical history, physical examination, and occasionally imaging or urodynamic testing are all part of the diagnosis process. Pelvic floor exercises, dietary adjustments, prescription drugs, and surgical treatments are available as forms of treatment. Management aims to improve symptoms and quality of life for individuals with urinary incontinence.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are bacterial infections affecting the urinary system, commonly caused by Escherichia coli bacteria. Symptoms include frequent, painful urination, cloudy or bloody urine, and pelvic discomfort. Risk factors include female anatomy, sexual activity, and certain health conditions. Diagnosis involves urine analysis and culture. Treatment typically includes antibiotics tailored to the specific bacteria. Complications can arise if left untreated, such as kidney infections or bloodstream infections. Prevention strategies include staying hydrated, practising good hygiene, and urinating after intercourse. Prompt treatment and preventive measures are key to managing UTIs and reducing recurrence.

LASER kidney removal is a procedure that uses shock waves (LASER energy) to break kidney stones into small, sand-like fragments. These smaller fragments then pass out of the body through urine. Our urology specialists utilise the most modern and advanced LASER technique to offer you a painless and scarless kidney stone removal experience.

Minimally invasive surgeries (laparoscopy) are keyhole surgeries to diagnose and treat urology problems including kidney stones and prostate conditions. Minimal access interventions are safe and effective surgeries that vastly reduce your postoperative pain and offer you a quick recovery.

Ureteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat urinary stones and other diseases in the upper urinary tract. In this procedure, surgeons use a long, thin telescope called the ureteroscope to pass the stones into the ureter (the tube that connects the kidney and bladder). These stones then pass through the urine or are removed using laser energy.

Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is a technique of removing renal stones through endoscopy. It is a minimally invasive surgery that makes use of an endoscope to remove renal stones by reaching the kidney from the ureter. With RIRS, our urologists are able to offer more comfort to you by decreasing pain, recovery time, bleeding and the risk of complications.

Uroflowmetry is a diagnostic test to test the flow of the urine. It is a non-invasive screening procedure that tests the volume, speed, quantity and other components of the urine. The uroflowmetry test helps in determining the bladder and sphincter functioning.

Endoscopic prostate removal is also known as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). It is a surgical approach to remove part of the prostate that is causing troublesome symptoms. TURP is used to treat prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia. This procedure offers a range of benefits including shorter hospitalisation, lower risk of infections and a faster recovery.
