Conditions We Treat
Our department manages the complete range of urological conditions affecting men, women, and children. From common infections to complex cancers, you’ll find expert care here.
1.) Kidney Stones (Nephrolithiasis)
One of the most painful conditions a person can experience. We treat stones of all sizes and locations—whether in the kidney itself or lodged in the ureter—using the latest laser fragmentation techniques. Our goal is complete stone clearance with the least possible discomfort and fastest recovery time.
2.) Enlarged Prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia – BPH)
A common condition in men over 50, BPH causes a weak urine stream, frequent nighttime urination, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. Dr. Gupta specializes in modern laser treatments that relieve symptoms with minimal bleeding and a short hospital stay, even for older patients on blood thinners.
3.) Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) & Recurrent Infections
Burning, urgency, and pelvic discomfort shouldn’t be a recurring nightmare. We investigate the root cause of recurrent UTIs—not just prescribe another round of antibiotics. This includes specialized evaluation for women and patients with underlying anatomical issues or kidney stones.
4.) Blood in Urine (Hematuria)
Seeing blood in your urine is always a reason to see a specialist promptly. It can signal anything from a simple infection to stones or, less commonly, a tumor. We perform thorough diagnostic workups, including cystoscopy and advanced imaging, to identify the cause quickly and provide peace of mind.
5.) Stricture Urethra (Narrowing of Urine Passage)
A narrowing of the tube that carries urine from the bladder, causing a thin, spraying stream and difficulty emptying. We offer both endoscopic procedures (optical internal urethrotomy) and reconstructive surgical options to restore normal urine flow.
6.) Urinary Incontinence (Loss of Bladder Control)
Involuntary leakage of urine affects millions of people but is rarely discussed openly. We provide compassionate evaluation and a range of treatments—from pelvic floor exercises and medications to minimally invasive sling procedures—to help you regain confidence and control.
7.) Prostate Cancer Screening & Diagnosis
Early detection saves lives. We offer PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood testing and, when indicated, precision-guided TRUS biopsy to accurately diagnose prostate cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage.
8.) Male Infertility & Erectile Dysfunction
These deeply personal issues require a sensitive, scientific approach. We conduct thorough evaluations to identify underlying causes—whether hormonal, vascular, or anatomical—and create personalized treatment plans aimed at restoring function and fertility.
Our Procedures: Advanced Diagnosis & Precision Treatment
Diagnostic Procedures
1.) Uroflowmetry — A simple, non-invasive test where you urinate into a special funnel to measure the speed and pattern of your urine stream. Essential for evaluating BPH and strictures.
2.) Ultrasound KUB with PVR — An ultrasound scan focused on the Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder, with a specific measurement of Post-Void Residual urine (how much is left after you go). This helps assess bladder emptying efficiency.
3.) Flexible Cystoscopy — A thin, flexible camera is gently passed into the urethra to directly visualize the bladder lining. Performed under local anesthetic gel, this is the gold standard for investigating blood in urine and recurrent infections.
4.) TRUS (Transrectal Ultrasound) Guided Prostate Biopsy — A precise, image-guided procedure to sample prostate tissue when cancer is suspected. This provides the definitive diagnosis needed to plan further treatment.
5.) CT Urography — A specialized, high-resolution CT scan (available in-house at CMC) that provides detailed 3D images of the entire urinary tract. Critical for mapping complex kidney stones before surgery and ruling out other abnormalities.
Interventional & Surgical Procedures
1.) RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) — Scarless Laser Stone Removal: This is the most advanced treatment for kidney stones. A flexible, fiber-optic scope is passed through the natural urinary passage—no cuts, no incisions. A laser fiber is then used to dust the stone into fine particles that pass naturally. Recovery is rapid, and patients typically go home the next day.
2.) URS (Ureteroscopy) with Holmium Laser Lithotripsy: The standard of care for stones stuck in the ureter (the tube between kidney and bladder) causing severe, colicky pain. The stone is visualized, fragmented with a powerful laser, and extracted. Immediate relief of obstruction is achieved.
3.) Laser Prostate Surgery (HoLEP / Laser Prostatectomy): A modern alternative to traditional TURP surgery. Using a high-powered laser, the excess prostate tissue blocking urine flow is precisely removed. Key advantages: Significantly less bleeding, suitable for patients on blood thinners, shorter catheter time, and often a same-day or next-day discharge.
4.) TURP (Transurethral Resection of Prostate): The time-tested endoscopic procedure for BPH. A resectoscope is used to trim away obstructing prostate tissue. This remains an excellent, highly effective option for many patients.
5.) Optical Internal Urethrotomy (OIU): A minimally invasive procedure to treat urethral strictures. Under vision, a small blade or laser is used to open the narrowed segment of the urethra, restoring a normal-caliber urine passage.
When Should You See a Urologist?
Urological symptoms are often subtle at first but can progress if ignored. Do not dismiss these warning signs. Please consult our specialist if you experience any of the following:
- 1.) Severe, one-sided back or flank pain that comes in waves and radiates to the groin (classic sign of a kidney stone).
- 2.) Blood visible in your urine, whether bright red, pink, or cola-colored—even if it happens just once.
- 3.) A weak, hesitant, or interrupted urine stream, or a feeling that your bladder never fully empties.
- 4.) Waking up more than twice per night specifically to urinate (nocturia).
- 5.) A persistent, urgent need to urinate accompanied by burning or discomfort.
- 6.) Loss of bladder control or leakage of urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising.
Urological Emergency?
If you experience complete inability to pass urine (acute urinary retention) with severe lower abdominal pain and a strong urge to go, this is a medical emergency requiring immediate catheterization.
