Andrology and Urology
Andrology and Urology are medical specialties focused on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the male reproductive organs and the urinary tract system in both genders. These specialties cover organs like kidneys, urinary bladder, testes, prostate, and more. Interventions include robot-assisted surgery, minimally invasive procedures, and scopes. Treatment can involve surgery or non-surgical methods like medication. Skilled professionals in these fields offer solutions for various issues.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are mineral and salt formations in the kidneys. Early detection is key, and medical intervention might suffice. Surgery may be needed for large stones unresponsive to medication.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
UTIs occur when bacteria from skin or rectum infect the urinary tract. Antibiotics are the main treatment. Prevention involves simple steps to reduce infection risk.
Urological Oncology
Specializing in cancers of the urinary and reproductive systems, like prostate, testicular, bladder, and adrenal gland cancers.
Prostate Conditions
Prostatectomy is the surgical removal of the prostate gland, either partially or completely. It’s used for benign issues causing urinary problems and to treat pelvic cancers like prostate cancer (adenocarcinoma) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). An alternative is Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP).
Penile Conditions
Erectile dysfunction and penile curvature are common. Pharmaceuticals treat many cases, while surgery addresses severe cases.
