Our Speciality

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia – This is a common condition that affects older men. It is inflammation of the prostate gland due to old age. The enlarged prostate can press upon the urinary bladder, causing manifestations of dribbling, urgency, frequency, and incontinence.

Bladder fistula – A fistula is an abnormal connection between two organs. The bladder can form a connection with the bowel or the vagina. A bladder fistula with the intestine is termed enterovesical fistula while that with the vagina is termed vesicovaginal fistula.

Erectile Dysfunction – Erectile dysfunction or impotence as it is more commonly called, is the inability to keep or get a firm erection during sexual intercourse.

Interstitial cystitis – The exact cause of interstitial cystitis is unknown, but it is common in women more than in men. It is also called painful bladder syndrome because it causes severe bladder and pelvic pain. Some of its other symptoms include urinary frequency and painful sexual intercourse.

Kidney Stones – Also known as renal lithiasis or nephrolithiasis, kidney stones are deposits of minerals and salts such as calcium, uric acid, oxalate, etc. in the kidney. These stones provoke renal colic (severe abdominal pain that radiates to the back), and urinary symptoms such as hematuria (blood in urine), frequency, urgency and painful urination may be observed.

Male and Female Voiding Dysfunction – Voiding dysfunction is a term used to describe lack of coordination between the muscles of the urinary bladder and the urethra. This incoordination causes either overactivity or incomplete relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles during urination.

Male infertility – This is a condition whereby a man’s semen is deficient; low or abnormal semen production, and cannot fertilize a woman’s eggs, i.e., a man’s inability to impregnate a woman.

Neurogenic bladder – Neurogenic bladder is a malfunction of the urinary bladder caused by trauma, injury or diseases of the CNS. Simply put, it is lack of bladder control as a result of spinal cord, brain or nerve problem.

Peyronie’s disease – is characterized by a curved penis and painful erections, Peyronie’s disease is the presence of scar tissue formation inside the penile shaft. Often, the scar tissues can be felt as painful bumps through the skin when palpating the penis.

Prostate Cancer – Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer affecting men. Its clinical manifestations include symptoms such as erectile dysfunction, pelvic pain or discomfort, urinary incontinence, and blood in semen.

Prostate Enlargement – Prostate enlargement is a common problem for men as they get older. As the prostate gland grows larger, it can press upon the urinary bladder, causing pain, frequency, and urgency during urination. Prostate enlargement is also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Sexual Dysfunction – Sexual dysfunction is a term used to describe disorders of the sexual response cycle that inhibits sexually active individuals from attaining satisfaction during sexual intercourse. It could be pain, lack of orgasm, lack of arousal or lack of sexual desire.

Urinary incontinence – Loss of bladder control manifested as involuntary passage of urine from the urinary bladder is called incontinence.
