Services

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.
