Urologist in Madinaguda, Miyapur, Hyderabad

A urologist is a doctor specializing in diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases of the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra) and the male reproduction system. They handle conditions such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, incontinence, and prostate disorders.

A urologist is a surgical specialist treating urinary tract and male reproductive conditions, including kidney stones, bladder issues, and prostate cancer. A nephrologist is a specialist focusing on kidney function, managing chronic kidney disease, dialysis, and hypertension-related kidney problems. 

• What Questions Should I Ask My Urologist During a Consultation?
• What could be the causes of my urinary symptoms?
• What tests do I need to diagnose my condition?
• What treatment options are available?
• Are there lifestyle changes that can help improve my condition?
• What are the risks and benefits of surgery if needed? 

Urologists treat kidney stones, urinary tract infections (UTIs), prostate disorders (BPH, prostatitis, cancer), bladder dysfunction, incontinence, erectile dysfunction, male infertility, testicular conditions, and urological cancers. They also manage congenital urinary abnormalities and trauma-related urinary injuries.

Urologists use urinalysis, blood tests (PSA for prostate cancer), ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, cystoscopy (bladder examination), uroflowmetry (urine flow test), urodynamic testing (bladder function test), and biopsy to diagnose urinary and reproductive conditions accurately. 

Urologists perform kidney stone removal (lithotripsy, ureteroscopy), prostate procedures (TURP, prostatectomy), bladder surgery, vasectomy, circumcision, male infertility treatments, cystoscopy, and reconstructive surgeries for urinary tract abnormalities or trauma-related injuries.

See a nephrologist for chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension-related kidney issues, or dialysis management. See a urologist for kidney stones, urinary blockages, kidney cancer, infections, or surgical kidney issues requiring intervention. 

Yes, many urologists specialize in robotic-assisted and minimally invasive procedures such as robotic prostatectomy, laparoscopic nephrectomy, and robotic-assisted bladder reconstruction. These techniques reduce surgical trauma, minimize blood loss, and speed up recovery.

Minimally invasive surgeries involve small incisions or natural orifices (like the urethra) to perform procedures with less pain and faster recovery. Robotic-assisted surgery (e.g., Da Vinci system) enhances precision in procedures like prostate removal, kidney surgery, and bladder reconstruction.

A laparoscopic nephrectomy is a minimally invasive kidney removal surgery performed for kidney cancer, severe kidney damage, or a non-functioning kidney. It involves small incisions, a camera-guided procedure, and results in faster recovery than open surgery. 

TURP is a surgical procedure to remove prostate tissue obstructing urine flow in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is recommended for men with severe urinary symptoms like frequent urination, weak urine stream, or bladder retention.

• Benefits: Symptom relief, improved quality of life, minimal hospital stay (for minimally invasive procedures) and reduced long-term complications.
• Risks: Infection, bleeding, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction (in prostate surgeries), and recurrence of the condition (e.g., kidney stones). 

Recovery depends on the type of surgery:

• Minimally invasive procedures (e.g., TURP, laser lithotripsy) – 1-2 weeks.
• Robotic-assisted surgeries – 2-4 weeks.
• Open surgeries (e.g., radical prostatectomy) – 4-8 weeks.

Laser lithotripsy is a minimally invasive treatment for kidney and ureteral stones. A laser breaks stones into smaller fragments, allowing them to pass naturally. It is recommended for medium to large kidney stones that do not pass on their own. 

Yes, minimally invasive options include:

• Laser lithotripsy (breaks stones with laser energy).
• Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL) (uses sound waves to fragment stones).
• Ureteroscopy with stone removal (a small camera and laser break and remove stones).

Urologists treat both men and women. Women visit urologists for urinary incontinence, recurrent UTIs, bladder prolapse, kidney stones, and interstitial cystitis. They also manage female sexual dysfunction and pelvic floor disorders. 

Yes, urologists treat male sexual health problems such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, Peyronie's disease (penile curvature), and testosterone deficiency. They also address male infertility by treating sperm disorders and varicoceles.
