UROLOGY
Urology is one of the areas where minimally invasive technologies in surgery have already proved their effectiveness. The advantages of minimally invasive surgery are rapid recovery, minimizing pain syndrome, a good cosmetic effect. Minimizing surgery is an undeniable advantage for patients with concomitant chronic pathologies. For example, diseases of the heart or blood vessels. Minimally invasive techniques in urology allow the treatment of complex diseases, but the level of blood loss and pain syndrome is minimized.
THE MAIN SYMPTOMS IN WHICH IT IS NECESSARY TO COME URGENTLY FOR EXAMINATION TO THE UROLOGIST:
- Pain in the genital area
- Pain in the lumbar region, not associated with changes in body position.
- Symptoms of a general nature — such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, frequent headaches, constipation.
- Urination problem — pain during urination, frequent trips to the toilet at night, incontinence.
- Discharge from the urethra of any nature — mucous, bloody, purulent.
- Diverse violations of sexual function, erection problems and others.
Infertility. A large percentage of men in our country, as confirmed by medical studies, have problems associated with sexual disorders. A lot of men do not want to admit it or do not attach due importance to it. But the problem is growing and there are many reasons for this.

UROLITHIASIS
Urolithiasis (also known as kidney stones) is one of the most common urological ailments. Its insidiousness is that usually a person for a long time may not even suspect the presence of a problem. Truthfully, this is before the first serious attack of pain.
When a person consumes an insufficient amount of fluid (that is, almost always), salt concretions begin to form in his body. You can live with this if there are few of them and the body manages to cope with them on time. If not, then from small pieces salt crystals gradually scale to the state of dense stony formations — and this is the first stage of the formation of urolithiasis.
Kidney stones are both single and multiple. Their size varies from 1 millimeter to 10 centimeters. The number of formations directly depends on their size. If the formations are small, then it can even reach 5,000 pieces.
The treatment plan for urolithiasis is made depending on the severity of the disease and the individual characteristics of the person.

PROSTATITIS
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate tissue.
The cause of acute prostatitis is sexually transmitted infections (chlamydia, trichomonas, gonococci, mycoplasma). Inflammation can be caused by conditionally pathogenic microorganisms inhabiting the intestines of a healthy person (E. coli).
Acute onset of the disease is characterized by pain in the lower abdomen, dysuric phenomena — frequent false painful urge to urinate, painful urination, a sharp increase in temperature to 38-39 C, signs of intoxication of the body. The disease can develop very quickly — literally within one day, in some cases — stretches for several days and manifests itself with less pronounced symptoms (a small urination disorder, then symptoms of intoxication appear).
At the first signs of prostatitis, it is necessary to seek qualified medical help. Treatment of prostatitis in the acute period includes antibacterial therapy (taking broad-spectrum antibiotics), anti-inflammatory and desensitising drugs. The therapeutic regimen of prostatitis is aimed at stabilizing the patient’s condition: lowering the temperature, reducing inflammation, normalizing the general condition.

CYSTITIS
Cystitis — inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder. Treatment of cystitis in women is a common phenomenon, while in men it occurs much less often — in 0.5% of cases of the total number of patients. Anatomical features of the urethra of women allow infection to get into the bladder much easier.
The causative agent of cystitis can be E. coli, staphylococcus, fungi and other microorganisms. But there are non-bacterial cystitis: the mucous membrane of the bladder is irritated with medicines and chemicals. To prevent cystitis, it is important to treat the nidus of infection on time, keep to a balanced diet and not to be exposed to excessive cold .
Factors that also provoke cystitis:
- not following the rules of sexual life hygiene;
- hypothermia
- frequent constipation
- chronic infections
- lack of the necessary mode of urination (a woman should urinate at least 5 times a day)
- At the first signs of cystitis, it is necessary to seek qualified medical help.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Urologists from medical institutions that are represented in the Prestige Medical portfolio have extensive experience in the treatment of the prostate gland, bladder, female and male genital organs, organ-preserving kidney surgery. In some cases, surgeons perform operations through natural anatomical holes and then there is no trace of the operation. This is how transurethral resection is performed — removal of a tumor of the bladder or prostate gland.
Thanks to the professionalism of doctors and the latest technologies, the usual practice includes simultaneous operations that allow you to get rid of several diseases at once during one anesthesia. Simultaneous operations are performed using laparoscopy.

QUICK REHABILITATION
We will do everything we can to make sure the recovery is delicate. An important positive factor in the use of laparoscopy in urology is the reduction of the postoperative period. After such an operation, patients return to their usual life the very next day, and there are barely noticeable traces of several punctures on the body.
Interventional ultrasound became a constant assistant in minimally invasive operations. Performing operations under ultrasound control gives surgeons limitless possibilities when performing the most complex interventions and provides opportunities for quick recovery of the patient.
