About Us
I believe in providing sincere advice to patients and guiding them honestly so that they can take decisions easily. It's my principal to give same advice to the patient which I will give if I were treating my parents, siblings and other family members so that I can incorporate sense of responsibility and personal care in all my decisions and advices. I have collaborations with multiple hospitals of different economic status & cater as per need & capability of the patient but in doing so I do make sure that there is no compromise in quality of care. I know my limitations & I also accept this fact that everyone can't be expert of everything, so I genuinely give my opinion & if I am not the expert about a particular treatment or a surgical procedure, I don’t hesitate to put forth it to the patient & refer them to specialist or seek advice or/and assistance of the expert surgeon because ultimately patient’s safety and good results are my utmost priorities. I vouch for the fact that sincerity is an essential ingredient for long term success, though it may take long time to cook, that’s why I have enough patience to taste it at its best.

OUR SERVICES
We Provide Treatment For All The Urological Issues, Some Of Them Are Mentioned Below
STONE DISEASE
Stone disease occurs when chemicals in your urine become concentrated and form crystals in your urinary tract.
PROSTATE RELATED ISSUES
The three most common forms of prostate disease are inflammation (prostatitis), non-cancerous enlargement (BPH), and prostate cancer.
UROLOGICAL CANCER
Cancer is the result of fast and abnormal cell growth. Urologic cancers affect the organs and structures of the male and female urinary system and the male reproductive system.
URETHRAL STRICTURE
A urethral (u-REE-thrul) stricture involves scarring that narrows the tube that carries urine out of your body (urethra). A stricture restricts the flow of urine from the bladder and can cause a variety of medical problems in the urinary tract, including inflammation or infection.
MALE & FEMALE INCONTINENCE
Women are more likely to have stress incontinence. Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and normal female anatomy account for this difference. However, men who have prostate gland problems are at increased risk of urge and overflow incontinence.
UTI (URINARY TRACT INFECTION)
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are usually caused by bacteria from poo entering the urinary tract. The bacteria enter through the tube that carries pee out of the body (urethra). Women have a shorter urethra than men. This means bacteria are more likely to reach the bladder or kidneys and cause an infection.
SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION (ERECTIVE DYSFUNCTION INFERTILITY)
Sexual dysfunction is a problem that can happen during any phase of the sexual response cycle. It prevents you from experiencing satisfaction from sexual activity. The sexual response cycle traditionally includes excitement, plateau, orgasm and resolution.
OVERACTIVE BLADDER
Overactive bladder, also called OAB, causes a frequent and sudden urge to urinate that may be difficult to control. You may feel like you need to pass urine many times during the day and night, and may also experience unintentional loss of urine (urgency incontinence).
Male Infertility
Male infertility refers to a male’s inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female. In humans, it accounts for 40–50% of infertility. It affects approximately 7% of all men. Male infertility is commonly due to deficiencies in the semen, and semen quality is used as a surrogate measure of male fecundity.
Few Routinely Performed Surgeries
Urologists also bring their surgical skills to the treatment of cancers of the bladder, kidneys, testicles, urethra and prostate. As part of urology's focus on male reproduction, a urologist also performs vasectomies as a means of birth control. We also offer vasectomy reversals so men can reproduce again.
Cystoscopy
Cystoscopy (sis-TOS-kuh-pee) is a procedure that allows your doctor to examine the lining of your bladder and the tube that carries urine out of your body (urethra). A hollow tube (cystoscope) equipped with a lens is inserted into your urethra and slowly advanced into your bladder.
Stone Surgery (PCNL, URS, PCCL, Endomeatotomy, etc.)
In this procedure, the surgeon inserts a narrow, flexible instrument called a ureteroscope through the urethral opening, passing it through the bladder to where the stone is located in the ureter or kidney. A small laser fiber is passed through the ureteroscope to break up and remove the stone.
What is PCCL ?
It is an endoscopic procedure to remove large urinary bladder calculus via small hole made in lower abdomen..
What is a URS procedure?
Ureteroscopy (URS) is a form of minimally invasive surgery using a small telescope that is passed through the urethra and into the ureter to remove a stone. Often the stone requires fragmentation with a laser which then allows the smaller fragments to removed with a grasping device.
Prostate surgery (TURP, TUIP)
Prostatectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the prostate gland. The prostate gland is situated in the male pelvis, below the urinary bladder. It surrounds the urethra, which carries urine from the bladder to the penis. The procedure is used to treat a number of conditions affecting the prostate.
TURP
Prostatectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the prostate gland. The prostate gland is situated in the male pelvis, below the urinary bladder. It surrounds the urethra, which carries urine from the bladder to the penis. The procedure is used to treat a number of conditions affecting the prostate.
Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) is a procedure to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). TUIP is generally used in younger men with a small prostate who are concerned about fertility.
Stricture urethra surgery (VIU, Urethroplasty)
The recurrence of urethral stricture after a urethroplasty is low. Endoscopic urethrotomy. For this procedure, your doctor inserts a thin optical device (cystoscope) into your urethra, then inserts instruments through the cystoscope to remove the stricture or vaporize it with a laser.
What is VIU surgery?
VIU (Visual Internal Urethromy) is done when stricture is treated at bulbous urethra. It's a not a definitive treatment for stricture urethra because in most of cases repeated VIU treatment is required. Ultimately it leads to high cost to the patient.
Urethroplasty is a type of surgery to repair your urethra, the internal tube that transports urine out of your body. You may need urethroplasty because of scarring in your urethra that makes it difficult for your urine to flow freely. Surgery may also be part of a series of gender affirmation surgeries.
Stapler circumcision
Circumcision staplers are disposable medical instruments that have been used for rapid, safe and efficient removal of the foreskin (prepuce) since earlier this decade and they became popular over the past few years. These devices cut as they close the wound in a precise manner using small metal clips.
Frequently Asked Questions
In the time of the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, doctors frequently examined urine’s color, odor, and texture. They also looked for bubbles, blood, and other signs of disease. Today, an entire field of medicine focuses on the health of the urinary system. It’s called urology. Here’s a look at what urologists do and when you should consider seeing one of these specialists.

What is a urologist?
Urologists diagnose and treat diseases of the urinary tract in both men and women. They also diagnose and treat anything involving the reproductive tract in men.
In some cases, they may perform surgery. For example, they may remove cancer or open up a blockage in the urinary tract. Urologists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private clinics, and urology centers.
The urinary tract is the system that creates, stores, and removes urine from the body. Urologists can treat any part of this system. This includes the:
*kidneys, which are the organs that filter waste out of the blood to produce urine
*ureters, which are the tubes through which urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder
*bladder, which is the hollow sac that stores urine
*urethra, which is the tube through which urine travels from the bladder out of the body
*adrenal glands, which are the glands located on top of each kidney that release hormones
Urologists also treat all parts of the male reproductive system. This system is made up of the:
*penis, which is the organ that releases urine and carries sperm out of the body
*prostate, which is the gland underneath the bladder that adds fluid to sperm to produce semen
*testicles, which are the two oval organs inside the scrotum that make the hormone testosterone and produce sperm
-
What is urology?
Urology is the field of medicine that focuses on diseases of the urinary tract and the male reproductive tract. Some urologists treat general diseases of the urinary tract. Others specialize in a particular type of urology, such as:
*female urology, which focuses on conditions of a woman’s reproductive and urinary tract
*male infertility, which focuses on problems that prevent a man from conceiving a baby with his partner
*neurourology, which focuses on urinary problems due to conditions of the nervous system
*pediatric urology, which focuses on urinary problems in children
*urologic oncology, which focuses on cancers of the urinary system, including the bladder, kidneys, prostate, and testicles

In men, urologists treat:
*cancers of the bladder, kidneys, penis, testicles, and adrenal and prostate glands
*prostate gland enlargement
*erectile dysfunction, or trouble getting or keeping an erection
*infertility
*interstitial cystitis, also called painful bladder syndrome
*kidney diseases
*kidney stones
*prostatitis, which is inflammation of the prostate gland

What procedures do urologists perform?
When you visit a urologist, they’ll start by doing one or more of these tests to find out what condition you have: *Imaging tests, such as a CT scan, MRI scan, or ultrasound, allow them to see inside your urinary tract.
*They can order a cystogram, which involves taking X-ray images of your bladder.
*Your urologist can perform a cystoscopy. This involves using a thin scope called a cystoscope to see the inside of your urethra and bladder.
*They can perform a post-void residual urine test to find out how fast urine leaves your body during urination. It also shows how much urine is left in your bladder after you urinate.
*They can use a urine sample to check your urine for bacteria that cause infections.
*They can perform urodynamic testing to measure the pressure and volume inside your bladder.
Urologists are also trained to perform different types of surgery. This may include performing:
*biopsies of the bladder, kidneys, or prostate
*a cystectomy, which involves removing the bladder, to treat cancer
*extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy, which involves breaking up kidney stones so they can remove them more easily
*a kidney transplant, which involves replacing a diseased kidney with a healthy one
*a procedure to open a blockage
*a repair of damage due to injury
*a repair of urinary organs that aren’t well-formed
*a prostatectomy, which involves removing all or part of the prostate gland to treat prostate cancer
*a sling procedure, which involves using strips of mesh to support the urethra and keep it closed to treat urinary incontinence
*a transurethral resection of the prostate, which involves removing excess tissue from an enlarged prostate
*a transurethral needle ablation of the prostate, which involves removing excess tissue from an enlarged prostate
*a ureteroscopy, which involves using a scope to remove stones in the kidneys and ureter
*a vasectomy to prevent pregnancy, which involves cutting and tying the vas deferens, or the tube sperm travel through to produce semen

When should you see a urologist?
Your primary care doctor can treat you for mild urinary problems, such as a UTI. Your primary care doctor may refer you to a urologist if your symptoms don’t improve or if you have a condition that needs treatments they can’t provide. You may need to see both a urologist and another specialist for certain conditions. For example, a man who has prostate cancer can see a cancer specialist called “an oncologist” and a urologist.
How do you know when it’s time to see a urologist? Having any of these symptoms suggests you have a problem in the urinary tract:
*blood in your urine
*a frequent or urgent need to urinate
*pain in your lower back, pelvis, or sides
*pain or burning during urination
*trouble urinating
*urine leakage
*weak urine flow, dribbling
You should also see a urologist if you’re a man and you’re experiencing these symptoms:
*a decreased sexual desire
*a lump in the testicle
*trouble getting or keeping an erection
