Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Antibiotics: The primary treatment for bacterial UTIs involves a course of antibiotics to eliminate the infection.
Increased Fluid Intake: Drinking plenty of water helps flush out bacteria from the urinary system.
Avoiding Irritants: Patients are advised to avoid irritants like caffeine, spicy foods, and alcohol, which can exacerbate symptoms.
Kidney Stones
Hydration and Dietary Changes: Increasing fluid intake and making dietary adjustments to reduce the intake of oxalate-rich foods can help prevent stone formation.
Pain Medications: Analgesics may be prescribed to manage pain associated with passing kidney stones.
Medical Expulsion Therapy: Medications, such as alpha-blockers, may be prescribed to facilitate the passage of smaller kidney stones.
Prostate Cancer
Surgery: Treatment may involve surgical procedures like prostatectomy to remove the cancerous prostate tissue.
Radiation Therapy: High-energy beams are used to target and destroy cancer cells.
Hormone Therapy: Medications may be employed to block or reduce the production of hormones that stimulate prostate cancer growth.
Hydronephrosis
Treating Underlying Cause: Addressing the root cause, such as a urinary obstruction, to relieve pressure on the kidneys.
Drainage Procedures: Inserting a catheter or placing a stent to allow urine to bypass the obstruction.
Surgery: In some cases, surgical intervention may be required to correct structural abnormalities.
Urethral Strictures
Dilation: Gradual widening of the narrowed urethra using dilators.
Urethroplasty: Surgical reconstruction of the urethra to remove the stricture and restore normal function.
Stenting: Placement of a temporary or permanent stent to keep the urethra open.
Hematuria (Blood in Urine)
Treating Underlying Cause: Addressing the condition or injury causing blood in the urine.
Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs or medications to control bleeding may be prescribed.
Surgical Intervention: In cases of structural abnormalities, surgery may be necessary.
Peyronie's Disease
Oral Medications: Medications like collagenase clostridium histolyticum may be prescribed to break down scar tissue.
Penile Traction Devices: Devices that apply gentle, consistent traction to the penis to reduce curvature.
Surgery: Surgical options, such as plication or grafting, may be considered in severe cases.
Ureteral Stones
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): Shock waves are used to break up stones into smaller fragments for easier passage.
Ureteroscopy: A thin tube with a camera is inserted to locate and remove or break up stones.
Surgical Intervention: In some cases, especially for larger stones, surgery may be necessary to remove the obstruction.
Kidney Cancer
Surgery: Partial or complete removal of the affected kidney (nephrectomy).
Targeted Therapy: Medications targeting specific cancer cells or their blood supply.
Immunotherapy: Stimulating the body’s immune system to target and destroy cancer cells.
Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome
Bladder Instillations: Medications instilled directly into the bladder to alleviate symptoms.
Physical Therapy: Techniques like pelvic floor physical therapy to reduce muscle tension and pain.
Oral Medications: Certain medications, such as pentosan polysulfate sodium, may be prescribed to manage symptoms.
