Diagnostic Procedures and Surgical Management

Urological Evaluation and Treatment

Urological assessment may include urine and blood tests, ultrasound, CT or other imaging investigations, uroflowmetry, cystoscopy and additional tests when clinically indicated. The choice of investigation depends on the symptoms and suspected condition.

Treatment may include medicines, lifestyle and fluid-management advice, observation and regular monitoring, or minimally invasive and surgical procedures when required. Selected urological procedures may be performed for urinary stones, prostate conditions, urinary obstruction and other structural disorders.

For conditions requiring surgery, treatment planning includes assessment of the patient’s overall health, discussion of available treatment options and postoperative follow-up. Persistent urinary symptoms, blood in the urine, recurrent urinary infections, severe flank pain or difficulty passing urine should be medically evaluated.
