Urology Problems Treated by Dr. Amal Mohan
Kidney and Ureter Stones
Stones that form in the kidneys or ureters can cause sharp pain in the side or back, sometimes accompanied by nausea, vomiting or blood in the urine. Some small stones may pass naturally, while others require medical treatment. The recommended approach depends on the stone’s size, location, symptoms and whether urine flow is obstructed. Imaging tests can help identify the stone and guide decisions about further care.
Prostate Problems
As men age, the prostate may enlarge and press against the urethra, making it harder to pass urine. Symptoms can include a weak urine stream, frequent urination at night and difficulty emptying the bladder. Medicines help many men. Some need a procedure if the symptoms are severe or the bladder is not emptying. A raised PSA blood level or a hard prostate on examination needs further tests.
Urinary Tract Infections
A burning sensation during urination, an increased need to urinate, frequent trips to the toilet or discomfort in the lower abdomen may indicate a urinary tract problem. These symptoms can have different causes, and a medical assessment may be needed to identify the underlying condition. If infections occur repeatedly, the doctor may investigate contributing factors such as kidney stones, urinary obstruction or incomplete bladder emptying.
Blood in the Urine
Pink, red or tea-coloured urine should always be checked, even when it happens only once and there is no pain. Stones, infections and prostate problems are common causes, but some serious conditions also show up this way, so tests are needed.
Difficulty Passing Urine and Leakage
A slow stream, straining, a stop-start flow, or urine that leaks before you reach the toilet can all be treated. The cause may be in the prostate, the bladder or the nerves, and the right treatment depends on which one it is.
Scrotal and Testicular Problems
Swelling, a lump, heaviness or pain in the scrotum should be examined. Some causes are harmless, but sudden severe pain in a testicle is an emergency and needs care within hours.
Men’s Sexual and Reproductive Health
Urology also covers certain concerns related to sexual function and male reproductive health, including erectile difficulties and fertility problems. The causes can vary, so an individual assessment may help determine whether further investigations or treatment are appropriate.
When to See a Urologist
Book a visit if you have:
- Pain in the side or back that comes in waves
- Blood in the urine, even once
- Burning or frequent passing of urine that keeps returning
- A weak stream, straining, or getting up several times at night to pass urine
- Leaking of urine
- Swelling, a lump or pain in the scrotum
- A raised PSA result
- Trouble with erections or having a child
Seek urgent medical attention if you cannot pass urine, develop severe side or back pain accompanied by fever or chills, or experience sudden, severe testicular pain.
