Endourology
The Shanti Madan Hospital is a leader in the field of Endourology. The Endo-urologists, led by Dr. Sahaj Garg, have extensive experience in minimally invasive urology.
Endourology is a subspecialty of urology in which tiny endoscopes and surgical instruments are utilized to view the urinary tract and perform surgery. Urology is a medical speciality focusing on male and female urinary tract and male reproductive organ diseases.
Endourology is commonly referred to as minimally invasive urologic surgery to treat kidney stones. In this treatment, microscopic devices are put into the body through the urethra, Bladder, ureter, or kidney to fracture kidney stones. Endourology differs from conventional urology in that all treatments are performed internally without significant incisions. Thin, flexible devices, such as lasers, graspers, micro stone retrieval baskets, specific scalpels, and cautery, are utilized to accomplish surgery without incisions.
Urinary / Kidney Stone
Kidney stones are hard mineral and salt deposits inside the kidneys. Stones in the kidneys can cause issues throughout the urinary tract, including the Bladder and the kidneys themselves. Urine with a high concentration can sometimes cause stones to develop by causing minerals to crystallize and cluster together. Kidney stones can have a variety of reasons, including improper nutrition, obesity, certain medical disorders, as well as some dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals.
It can be quite excruciating to pass kidney stones, but if they are detected and treated as soon as possible, kidney stones almost seldom result in permanent harm. You might be able to pass a kidney stone by taking pain medication and consuming a lot of water.
The success of this strategy will depend on the specifics of your case. In certain circumstances, surgery might be necessary. For example, this might be the case if a stone becomes lodged in the urinary tract, if a urinary tract infection accompanies it, or if it causes complications.
Dr. Sahaj Garg at Shanti Madan Hospital, Muzaffarnagar may recommend prophylactic treatment in the case that they believe you are at an increased risk of developing kidney stones in the future.
Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostate gland enlargement, is a common problem for older men. An enlarged prostate gland can make it hard to get urine out of the Bladder, which can be very uncomfortable. It can also cause problems with the Bladder, the urinary tract, or the kidneys.
There are many effective ways to treat a swollen prostate gland, such as with medicine, minimally invasive therapies, or surgery. Dr. Sahaj Garg at Shanti Madan Hospital, Muzaffarnagar will look at your symptoms, prostate size, other health problems, and preferences to choose the best option.
Urinary issues may cause blockage of the urinary tract if left untreated. Even if urinary symptoms are not troublesome, it is essential to discover or rule out underlying reasons. Consult Dr. Sahaj Garg at Shanti Madan Hospital, Muzaffarnagar, if you're experiencing urinary issues.
Ureteric Stricture
Ureteric (or "ureteral") stricture stops urine from flowing through one or both of the ureters. This makes it hard for the body to get rid of urine. This can occur in either or both of the ureters. The severity of ureteric stricture can range from light strictures with mild symptoms and some continuous flow of urine to total and acute obstructions with severe symptoms and no urine transit. Ureteric stricture can also occur between these two extremes. If you have symptoms or suspect you could have a ureteric stricture, you should consult Dr. Sahaj Garg at Shanti Madan Hospital, Muzaffarnagar.
Urethral Stricture
A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the tube that carries urine out of your body caused by scarring (urethra). A stricture makes it hard for urine to leave the Bladder. This can lead to inflammation, infection in the urinary tract, or other health problems.
Talk to Dr. Sahaj Garg at Shanti Madan Hospital, Muzaffarnagar, about your urinary problems if you have them. Even if urinary symptoms don't bother you, it's important to find out what's causing them or rule them out. Urinary problems that are not treated could cause the urinary tract to become blocked. If you can't pee, you should go to the hospital immediately.
