Bladder Care
Bladder Care
we offer state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment of all aspects of urination problems due to the highly experienced doctor, Dr. Naveen Kumar Agarwal. The bladder helps you store and dispose of the liquid wastes in your body. This organ becomes very problematic when there is an interference with its performance due to any infections, structural abnormalities, or even growth of cells. We have the best team of urologists who are ready to give you the best care.
The major conditions and symptoms that we deal with are given below in detail.
Frequent Urination
This involves having the urge to urinate more often than usual in a day, typically more than seven or eight times in twenty-four hours. This condition can interfere with your sleep pattern, affect your work schedule, and lead to emotional upset. The problem may be brought about by several factors such as OAB, UTI, an enlarged prostate gland in males, and uncontrolled diabetes. When visiting Dr. Naveen Kumar Agarwal, We perform a series of tests such as fluid consumption record, physical examinations, and post-void residual test to determine whether your bladder is able to empty properly.
Treatment plans will be established depending on the underlying causes, and these can be:
Behavioral adjustments
Bladder training
Pelvic muscle exercises
Medication to relax the bladder muscles
Burning or Pain During Urination
If you experience any signs of burning, pain, or tenderness while urinating, medically referred to as dysuria, this is an indication that you have inflammation in your urinary system. The pain is brought about by UTIs, which are acute and affect the bladder and urethra. However, dysuria can also be caused by sexually transmitted infections, allergies to personal care products, and chemicals.
We diagnose you fast using urinalysis and urine cultures to identify the bacteria causing your infection.
Should an infection be diagnosed, Dr. Agarwal prescribes specific doses of antibiotics to help cure your problem. In cases where there is no infection causing dysuria, then efforts will be made to eliminate irritants or inflammation sources.
Blood in Urine
The presence of blood in the urine (hematuria), which is a clinical term, should never be taken lightly whether it occurs for once or stops spontaneously. Hematuria is described as gross (can be seen by the naked eye, giving a pinkish, red, or dark color to the urine) and microscopic (only detected via lab urine test). This could be indicative of various medical issues ranging from benign ones such as physical exercise or even mild infections to more complex ones like:
Kidney issues
Trauma
Tumors
Dr. Naveen Kumar Agarwal uses a systematic approach in analyzing the problem of hematuria. The diagnostic workup usually includes imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT of your kidneys as well as bladder cystoscopy. Finding the exact cause of bleeding helps us create an accurate treatment plan.
Bladder Stones
Bladder stones are hard solid structures made up of minerals that develop inside your bladder due to the concentration of your urine. This process usually happens due to the retention of the urine inside your bladder because you have difficulty urinating completely. The common reasons why this happens are the presence of an enlarged prostate that blocks the passage of the urethra, the problem with the nerves that affects the functioning of your bladder, or frequent UTIs. Such stones:
Such stones:
Irritate the inner walls of your bladder
Cause blockage of urine flow
Lead to pelvic pain or bloody urine
Advanced diagnostics for bladder stones, which consist of ultrasound or X-ray imaging. Sometimes, small stones can naturally come out by drinking plenty of water. But in case of large or stubborn stones, Dr. Agarwal is skilled in performing cystolitholapaxy, during which a small scope is introduced into the bladder and the stones are destroyed with the help of laser or ultrasound waves.
Bladder Cancer
The genesis of bladder cancer occurs because the normal bladder cells undergo mutation and start growing in an uncontrolled manner, giving rise to a tumor. Most cases of bladder cancers are usually marked by the presence of painless blood in the urine. At times, they tend to resemble chronic UTI and result in symptoms such as frequent urination and pelvis pain. It is very important that one seeks early diagnosis in order to have successful outcomes. Dr. Naveen Kumar Agarwal has the experience of providing expert bladder cancer management. He starts off with accurate cystoscopies and tissue biopsy. In case the patient is suffering from early stage and superficial bladders, we will offer him a TURBT surgery, which can be combined with intravesical chemotherapy. In cases where the patient is suffering from an advanced form of this ailment, we will work in coordination with other departments of our hospital to provide the best outcome.
