About Urology in Shimoga

Urology covers the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate and male reproductive organs. Urologists treat kidney stones, enlarged prostate, urinary blockages, foreskin problems, hydrocele and varicocele, among other conditions. Many urology procedures are short, planned interventions affecting the kidneys, bladder, prostate and urinary tract. Of the 12 urology treatments on Go Surgery, 8 usually let you go home the same day or the next.

Many urological procedures are endoscopic — performed through the urinary passage with no external cut — such as ureteroscopy for stones or TURP and laser procedures for an enlarged prostate. Shock-wave lithotripsy can break some kidney stones without any surgery at all.

The right treatment for a kidney stone depends on its size, location and composition, which is why a CT scan or ultrasound is usually the first step.

Conditions

These are common reasons patients in Shimoga seek a urology consultation.

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form in the kidney and can travel down the ureter, causing severe pain.

Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly affects men as they age, narrowing the urinary passage.

Phimosis

Phimosis is a tight foreskin that can't be pulled back over the head of the penis. It is normal in young boys but can cause problems in older children and adults.

Hydrocele

A hydrocele is a collection of fluid around a testicle, causing painless swelling of the scrotum.

Varicocele

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins in the scrotum, similar to varicose veins. It can cause aching and is a common treatable cause of male infertility.

Urethral Stricture

A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra due to scar tissue, which slows urine flow.

Treatments

ESWL (Shock Wave Lithotripsy)

Focused shock waves are passed through the body to break a kidney stone into fragments small enough to pass in the urine. No incision is needed.

Ureteroscopy (URS)

A thin telescope is passed through the urinary passage into the ureter to break the stone with a laser and remove fragments. There are no external cuts.

RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery)

A flexible telescope is passed up into the kidney through the natural urinary passage and a laser breaks up kidney stones. No cuts are made.

PCNL

A small tunnel is made through the back directly into the kidney to break and remove large stones. It is the most effective option for large or complex stones.

TURP

The inner part of an enlarged prostate is trimmed away through the urinary passage using a telescope, widening the channel for urine. There are no external cuts.

HoLEP (Laser Prostate Surgery)

A holmium laser separates the obstructing prostate tissue from its capsule, which is then removed. It suits prostates of almost any size and usually involves less bleeding.

Circumcision

The foreskin is removed surgically — by conventional technique, stapler device or laser — to treat phimosis and recurrent foreskin infections.

Hydrocele Surgery

The fluid is drained and the sac around the testicle is removed or folded so fluid doesn't re-collect.

Varicocelectomy

The enlarged veins draining the testicle are tied off, usually through a small groin incision with an operating microscope.

Optical Internal Urethrotomy (OIU)

A narrowed segment of the urethra is cut open from the inside with a blade or laser through a telescope.

Urethroplasty

Open reconstruction of the urethra, removing or widening the narrowed segment, often using a graft from the inside of the cheek. It has better long-term results than repeated urethrotomy.

Cystoscopy

A thin telescope is passed into the bladder to examine it directly, take biopsies or remove small stones or stents.

FAQs

Do all kidney stones need surgery?

No. Small stones (usually under about 5 mm) often pass on their own with fluids and medication. Larger stones, stones causing infection or blockage, or stones that don't pass may need lithotripsy or an endoscopic procedure.

Is enlarged prostate the same as prostate cancer?

No. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement that is very common with age. It can cause similar urinary symptoms, so your urologist may check a PSA blood test to help rule out cancer.

Is circumcision done for medical reasons?

Yes — for example for phimosis (a tight foreskin), repeated infections of the foreskin, or paraphimosis.

How can I prevent kidney stones from coming back?

Drinking enough water to keep urine pale, limiting salt and animal protein, and following advice based on your stone type are the main measures. Your urologist may test the stone to guide this.
