Professional Care for Urinary and Urological Conditions

Galen Hospital provides access to urological care for patients experiencing concerns related to the urinary tract and male reproductive system. Urology focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and management of conditions affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, and related organs.

Urinary symptoms can affect daily comfort, sleep, work, and overall quality of life. Some problems may develop gradually, while others require prompt medical attention. Seeking an evaluation when symptoms persist can help identify the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.

Conditions Evaluated in Urology

Urological assessment may be appropriate for patients experiencing:

• Urinary tract problems: Symptoms such as painful urination, frequent urination, or difficulty passing urine.

• Kidney and urinary stones: Evaluation of symptoms associated with stones affecting the urinary system.

• Bladder conditions: Assessment of urinary urgency, discomfort, or changes in bladder habits.

• Prostate-related concerns: Evaluation of urinary symptoms that may be associated with prostate enlargement or other prostate conditions.

• Male reproductive health concerns: Medical assessment of selected conditions affecting the male reproductive system.

• Recurrent urinary symptoms: Investigation of symptoms that return or do not improve as expected.

The appropriate service and treatment depend on the diagnosis and the facilities available at the hospital.

Symptoms You Should Not Ignore

Consider consulting a doctor if you experience:

• Burning or pain while passing urine

• Blood in the urine

• Frequent or urgent urination

• Difficulty starting or maintaining urine flow

• Pain in the lower abdomen, side, or back

• Repeated urinary tract infections

• Persistent changes in urinary habits

Sudden inability to pass urine, severe pain, or urinary symptoms accompanied by fever and chills may require urgent medical assessment.

Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

Your consultation may include a review of your symptoms, medical history, medication use, and relevant lifestyle factors. Depending on your condition, your doctor may recommend urine tests, blood tests, imaging, or other investigations to help establish a diagnosis.

Treatment is based on the cause and severity of the condition. It may involve:

• Prescribed medication where clinically appropriate

• Guidance on hydration and urinary health

• Dietary or lifestyle recommendations for selected conditions

• Monitoring and follow-up consultations

• Referral for specialist procedures or surgical assessment when necessary

Not every urological condition requires surgery. Your doctor will explain the available options and help determine the most appropriate course of care.

Maintaining Urinary Health

Drinking appropriate amounts of water, maintaining good personal hygiene, and seeking medical advice for persistent symptoms can support urinary health. Patients with recurring problems should follow their prescribed care plan and attend recommended follow-up appointments. Avoid self-medicating with antibiotics or delaying evaluation when symptoms continue.
