Urology

Urologists are specialised doctors who diagnose and treat problems related to these organs. Our urology department at KD Hospital, Ahmedabad, offers comprehensive care for various urological issues, ensuring our patients receive the best possible treatment.

What is Urology?

Urology is the branch of medicine that deals with the health of the urinary system and the male reproductive system. This includes organs like the kidneys, bladder, urethra, ureters, and male genital organs. Urologists treat conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, bladder issues, and prostate problems.

When to see a doctor?

You should see a urologist if you experience any of the symptoms below. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent more serious health problems. If you have a family history of urological conditions, regular checkups with a urologist can help monitor your health and catch any issues early.

Symptoms

Here are some common symptoms that might indicate you need to see a urologist:

  • Blood in urine: This can be a sign of a serious condition such as bladder or kidney cancer.
  • Frequent urination: Needing to urinate more often than usual, especially at night, could indicate a problem.
  • Painful urination: Burning or pain during urination is often a sign of a urinary tract infection.
  • Incontinence: Losing control over your bladder can affect your quality of life and may require medical attention.
  • Pain in lower abdomen or back: It could be due to kidney stones or other urinary tract issues.
  • Male reproductive issues: Problems such as erectile dysfunction, infertility, or lumps in the testicles should be checked by a urologist.
