Urology
Kidney stones, prostate and urinary care
Quick Answer
The Urology department at Amrutha Orthopaedic Hospital treats conditions of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra and the male reproductive system — including kidney stones, prostate enlargement, urinary infections, blood in the urine and incontinence — using minimally invasive techniques such as ureteroscopy and PCNL for stones.
About the Urology department
Urology covers the urinary tract in both men and women and the male reproductive system. Kidney and ureteric stones are among the most common problems seen, and most can now be treated without open surgery, using endoscopic and keyhole techniques. The department also manages prostate enlargement, recurrent urinary infection and urinary control problems.

Frequently asked questions
Do all kidney stones need surgery?+
No. Small stones often pass on their own with fluids, medication and pain relief. Treatment is advised when a stone is large, is blocking the flow of urine, causes repeated pain or infection, or is affecting kidney function.
What are the symptoms of an enlarged prostate?+
Common symptoms include a weak urinary stream, difficulty starting, dribbling at the end, going frequently at night, and a feeling that the bladder has not emptied. These symptoms should be assessed rather than assumed to be normal ageing.
How can I reduce the chance of stones coming back?+
Drinking enough water through the day is the single most useful measure, along with dietary changes based on the type of stone. Your urologist can advise specific precautions after testing.
