Question 1

When should I see a urologist?

Accepted Answer

See a urologist for blood in urine, recurrent urinary infections, a weak or interrupted stream, pain in the flank, scrotal swelling or lumps, difficulty conceiving, or any episode of being unable to pass urine.

Question 2

Are kidney stones always painful?

Accepted Answer

No. Stones sitting inside the kidney can be completely silent and are often discovered on a routine scan. Pain typically starts when the stone moves into the ureter and blocks the flow of urine.

Question 3

Can prostate enlargement be treated without surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in many men. Lifestyle measures and medication control symptoms effectively in early and moderate cases. Surgery is advised when medication stops working or when complications such as retention, stones or kidney strain develop.

Question 4

Is blood in urine dangerous?

Accepted Answer

It must always be investigated. Stones and infection are the most common causes, but painless bleeding can be the first sign of a bladder or kidney tumour — even if it happens only once.

Question 5

How can I prevent kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Drink enough fluid to pass about 2.5 litres of pale urine daily, keep salt under 5 grams a day, include citrus fruits, continue normal dairy with meals, and moderate red meat. Stone analysis after clearance guides personalised prevention.

Question 6

How long is recovery after PCNL?

Accepted Answer

Hospital stay is usually two to three days. Desk work resumes in about a week, and heavy physical work after three to four weeks. A DJ stent, if placed, is removed at two to three weeks.

Question 7

How long is recovery after RIRS?

Accepted Answer

RIRS is usually a day-care or single-night procedure with no cut on the body. Most patients return to routine work in two to three days, with a stent removed at one to three weeks.

Question 8

How long is recovery after TURP?

Accepted Answer

The catheter is generally removed within 24 to 48 hours and the stay is one to two days. Flow improves immediately; mild burning may last one to two weeks. Avoid straining and heavy lifting for about a month.

Question 9

What happens during my first consultation?

Accepted Answer

A detailed history and examination, a review of your previous reports, and — where needed — an ultrasound or urine test at the clinic. You will leave with a clear explanation of the problem and a written plan.
