Urologist, urogynecologist, andrologist
Urogynecology focuses on issues affecting women’s pelvic health, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, genitourinary fistula, female urethral diverticula, cystitis etc. These conditions can cause significant discomfort and impact daily life, but with personalized care and advanced treatments, they can be effectively managed to restore health and confidence.
As men age, prostate health becomes a key concern. Common conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and prostate cancer can affect urinary function and overall well-being. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for maintaining quality of life, and I offer a range of options tailored to individual needs.
Kidney stones are a common urological issue that can cause severe pain and lead to complications if not treated properly. With expertise in managing renal colic, stone removal, and prevention strategies, I provide effective treatments to relieve pain and reduce the risk of future stones.
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. Treatment varies depending on the type and severity, including pelvic floor exercises, medications, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery.
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a condition in which the muscles, fascia, and ligaments of the pelvic floor become weakened, allowing the bladder, uterus, rectum, or small intestine to descend together with the vaginal walls toward or into the vagina. In more advanced cases, these organs may protrude beyond the vaginal opening. Common symptoms include a feeling of vaginal pressure or a bulge, difficulty with urination or bowel movements, and pelvic discomfort.
Treatment is individualized and depends on the severity of the prolapse, the patient’s symptoms, age, overall health, and personal preferences. Mild cases may be managed with lifestyle modifications, pelvic floor muscle exercises, and the use of a vaginal pessary. More advanced or symptomatic prolapse can be treated with a pessary or surgery aimed at restoring the normal anatomy of the pelvic organs and providing durable pelvic floor support.
The most appropriate treatment option is determined after a comprehensive evaluation by a urogynecologist.
Treatment depends on the size and location of the stone. Smaller stones may pass on their own with increased fluid intake and pain management. Larger stones may require interventions such as lithotripsy (breaking the stone with sound waves), ureteroscopy (removal via a scope), or surgical removal.
Blood in the urine can be due to various reasons such as UTIs, kidney stones, bladder or kidney infections, or, in some cases, more serious conditions like bladder cancer. A thorough evaluation is necessary to identify the cause.
ED can be caused by physical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease, as well as psychological factors such as stress or anxiety. Medications, lifestyle factors like smoking, or excessive alcohol use can also contribute.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is commonly treated with medications to relax the prostate or shrink its size. In more severe cases, minimally invasive procedures or surgery (like TURP) may be required.
Frequent urination can be caused by a variety of factors, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), overactive bladder (OAB), diabetes, or enlarged prostate in men. Drinking excessive fluids or consuming caffeine and alcohol can also contribute.
A UTI is an infection in any part of the urinary system, most commonly the bladder or urethra. Symptoms include a frequent urge to urinate, pain or burning during urination, and cloudy or bloody urine. UTIs are treated with antibiotics.
Screening typically involves a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test and possibly a digital rectal exam (DRE) to check for abnormalities in the prostate. Early detection is important for managing prostate cancer effectively.
Pelvic pain can result from a variety of urological or gynecological conditions, including UTIs, prostatitis, kidney stones, interstitial cystitis, or conditions related to the reproductive organs.
Painful urination can be caused by infections (such as UTIs), bladder inflammation, kidney stones, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or irritation from certain products like soaps or lotions.
