Diseases and Conditions Treated in Urology

Comprehensive Diagnosis and Treatment for Urinary and Reproductive Health

At Fertilis, our Urology Department provides advanced diagnostic and treatment services for conditions affecting the urinary system and male reproductive organs. With experienced specialists and modern medical technology, we deliver personalized care designed to improve both physical health and overall quality of life.

Kidney and Urinary Tract Stones

Kidney and urinary tract stones develop when minerals and salts in the urine crystallize and form solid deposits. These stones may be located in the:

  • Kidneys

  • Ureters (tubes connecting kidneys to the bladder)

  • Bladder

They can cause severe pain, urinary obstruction, infection, and bleeding.

Common Symptoms

  • Severe flank or abdominal pain

  • Painful urination

  • Blood in urine

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Frequent urge to urinate

Treatment Options at Fertilis

Treatment depends on the size, location of the stone, and the patient’s overall health. Options may include:

  • Medical therapy to facilitate stone passage

  • Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)

  • Ureteroscopy

  • Laser stone treatment

  • Minimally invasive surgical procedures

Our goal is to relieve pain quickly and prevent recurrence through individualized follow-up care.

Prostate Diseases

The prostate gland, located just below the bladder in men, produces fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. Common prostate conditions include:

Prostatitis

Inflammation of the prostate, often caused by infection, leading to pelvic pain and urinary symptoms.

Prostate Enlargement (BPH)

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) can cause difficulty urinating and frequent nighttime urination.

Prostate Cancer

One of the most common cancers in men, often detected through routine screening.

At Fertilis, prostate evaluation may include:

  • PSA blood testing

  • Digital rectal examination

  • Ultrasound imaging

  • Biopsy (if necessary)

Early diagnosis plays a critical role in successful treatment.

Urinary Incontinence and Bladder Disorders

Urinary incontinence refers to involuntary urine leakage due to loss of bladder control. It is especially common among women and older adults.

Types of Urinary Incontinence

  • Stress Incontinence – Leakage during coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise

  • Urge Incontinence – Sudden, intense urge followed by involuntary leakage

  • Mixed Incontinence – Combination of stress and urge types

  • Overflow Incontinence – Incomplete bladder emptying

Other Bladder Conditions

  • Overactive bladder

  • Bladder prolapse

  • Cystitis (bladder inflammation)

  • Nocturia (frequent nighttime urination)

Diagnostic Approach

At Fertilis, bladder control problems are evaluated through:

  • Detailed medical history

  • Physical examination

  • Urine analysis

  • Urodynamic testing

  • Ultrasound and imaging studies

Personalized treatment options may include pelvic floor therapy, medication, minimally invasive procedures, or surgical intervention when necessary.

Conditions We Treat

  • Testicular Diseases

  • Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

  • Lower abdominal or pelvic pain

Prompt diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment are essential to prevent complications.

Routine urological examinations are essential for early diagnosis and maintaining long-term urinary health.

Regular check-ups may include:

  • Physical examination

  • Urine and blood tests

  • Imaging tests

  • Prostate examination

Preventive screening is particularly important for men over 40 and individuals with a family history of urological diseases.
