Impact of kidney stones can range from being totally asymptomatic to landing into kidney dysfunction. Dont ignore and consult a Urologist.

Know yours symptoms !!
In case you have these symptoms and you are above 50 years of age, you may be having benign prostate enlargement. Consult a Urologist today.

Robotic surgery is a boon for kidney cancers as it can help in preserving normal kidney tissue.

Bladder mass refers to an abnormal growth or tumor that can develop in the bladder. The most common type of bladder mass is bladder cancer, which can be benign or malignant. The presence of a bladder mass can cause various urinary symptoms such as pain during urination, frequent urination, blood in the urine, and urinary urgency.

TURBT is considered the gold standard for diagnosing and treating bladder masses. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is a surgical procedure that is commonly used to diagnose and treat bladder masses. During a TURBT, a surgeon inserts a cystoscope through the urethra and removes the bladder mass using a wire loop. The removed tissue is then sent to a laboratory for examination to determine whether it is cancerous or non-cancerous.

Retrograde intra-renal surgery (RIRS) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat kidney stones and other conditions affecting the urinary system. During RIRS, a flexible ureteroscope is inserted through the urethra and into the urinary tract, allowing the surgeon to view the kidney and treat any stones or other obstructions. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes around an hour to complete. RIRS has several advantages over traditional surgical approaches, including shorter recovery times, fewer complications, and a lower risk of injury to surrounding tissues. It is often the preferred treatment option for patients with smaller or more complex kidney stones, as well as those who may not be suitable candidates for other surgical procedures.

Kidney transplant is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a damaged or diseased kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This life-saving procedure can improve quality of life and increase life expectancy for those with end-stage renal disease. The donor kidney can come from a living donor or a deceased donor, and the transplant surgery typically takes a few hours to complete. After the procedure, patients need to take medication to prevent rejection of the new kidney and will require ongoing medical care to ensure the success of the transplant. Kidney transplant is a complex and life-changing procedure, but it can offer hope and a new lease on life for those suffering from kidney failure.

Kidney cancer, also known as renal cell carcinoma, is a type of cancer that starts in the cells of the kidney. It is often asymptomatic in the early stages, but as the tumor grows, it can cause symptoms such as blood in the urine, pain or pressure in the back or side, and weight loss.

Management of kidney cancer depends on the stage and location of the tumor. Treatment options include surgery, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. In some cases, a combination of treatments may be used.

Surgery is often the first line of treatment for kidney cancer, and can involve partial or complete removal of the affected kidney, nowadays usually performed with Robotic assistance. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy are newer treatments that specifically target cancer cells or boost the body's immune system to fight cancer.

In addition to medical treatment, lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing high blood pressure can also help manage kidney cancer. Regular follow-up appointments with a healthcare provider are important to monitor the progression of the disease and the effectiveness of treatment.

BPH stands for benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland in men. The prostate gland is a small gland located just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra. As the prostate gland enlarges, it can squeeze the urethra and cause urinary problems.

Some common symptoms of BPH include:

Frequent urination
Difficulty starting urination
Weak urine stream
Dribbling at the end of urination
Urgency to urinate
Incomplete emptying of the bladder
Nocturia (frequent urination at night)
Treatment for BPH depends on the severity of the symptoms and the impact on quality of life. Some common treatments include:

Medications: Medications can help shrink the prostate gland or relax the muscles around the prostate to improve urine flow.

Minimally invasive procedures: These procedures use heat or other methods to destroy or remove prostate tissue and improve urine flow. These include TURP and Laser Prostatectomy

Surgery: Surgery may be necessary in severe cases of BPH to remove part or all of the prostate gland.

In addition to medical treatment, there are lifestyle changes that can help manage the symptoms of BPH, such as avoiding caffeine and alcohol, reducing fluid intake before bedtime, and practicing pelvic floor exercises.

It is important for men to have regular check-ups with their healthcare provider to monitor their prostate health and detect any potential issues early on.

Dietary management of kidney stones involves making changes to one's diet to help prevent the formation of kidney stones. Kidney stones are formed when certain substances, such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid, accumulate in the urine and form crystals. These crystals can then join together to form a stone.

Here are some dietary recommendations to help prevent kidney stones:

Drink plenty of water: Drinking enough water helps dilute the urine and prevents the concentration of minerals that can form stones. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water per day.

Reduce sodium intake: High sodium intake can increase the amount of calcium in the urine, which can lead to the formation of calcium stones. Avoid processed foods and limit the use of table salt.

Limit animal protein: Eating too much animal protein, such as meat, poultry, and seafood, can increase the amount of uric acid in the urine, which can lead to the formation of uric acid stones. Opt for plant-based protein sources instead.

Reduce oxalate intake: Oxalate is a substance found in many foods, such as spinach, nuts, and chocolate, that can increase the risk of calcium oxalate stones. Limit intake of high-oxalate foods.

Increase intake of citric acid: Citric acid can help prevent the formation of stones by binding to calcium in the urine and preventing it from forming crystals. Citrus fruits and juices are good sources of citric acid.

Maintain a healthy weight: Obesity can increase the risk of kidney stones, so maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise is important.

It is important to work with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian to develop a personalized dietary plan based on individual needs and medical history.

Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland, which is a small gland located in the male reproductive system. It is one of the most common cancers in men, with an estimated one in eight men being diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime.

Prostate cancer often grows slowly and may not cause any symptoms in the early stages. However, as the cancer grows, it may cause symptoms such as difficulty urinating, a weak or interrupted urine flow, blood in the urine or semen, and pain or discomfort in the pelvic area.

Treatment for prostate cancer will depend on several factors, including the stage and grade of the cancer, the age and overall health of the patient, and the presence of any other medical conditions. Some common treatments for prostate cancer include:

Active surveillance: This involves closely monitoring the cancer and delaying treatment until it progresses.

Surgery: This involves removing the prostate gland and surrounding tissues. This is usually achieved with Robotic assistance.

Radiation therapy: This involves using high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells.

Hormone therapy: This involves blocking the male hormones that fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells.

Chemotherapy: This involves using drugs to kill cancer cells.

Immunotherapy: This involves using drugs that stimulate the immune system to fight cancer cells.

The choice of treatment will depend on several factors, and the doctor will discuss the options and potential side effects with the patient before deciding on a course of action.

It is important for men to get regular screenings for prostate cancer, especially if they have a family history of the disease or are over the age of 50. Early detection and treatment can improve the chances of a successful outcome
