Urology

Urology is the speciality that looks after the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate and male reproductive system. Problems show up in everyday ways: burning or blood in the urine, pain in the side, a weak stream, or getting up repeatedly at night. The Department of Urology at Apex Group of Hospitals provides care across our units in Borivali, Kandivali and Mulund, grounded in a clinical tradition established in 1992. Patients looking for a urology hospital in Mumbai can have consultations, diagnoses and surgery all within the same department.

The department treats patients of every age, from a child with a urinary tract problem present since birth to an older man living with an enlarged prostate. A urologist in Mumbai at Apex begins with your symptoms and an examination, followed by urine tests, blood tests and imaging where needed. Treatment depends on the cause and may include medicines, lifestyle changes, a procedure or surgery. Anyone who wants a urology specialist in Mumbai to explain all the options before deciding can ask for that discussion first.

Stones and prostate problems are two of the most common reasons for a visit. Small kidney stones may pass with fluids and medicines, while stones that block urine flow require removal, and the department offers kidney stone treatment in Mumbai for both situations. For men with a slow stream or frequent night-time urination, prostate treatment in Mumbai ranges from medicines to surgery, depending on the size of the prostate and its effect on daily life.

The team uses non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques wherever the condition allows, including laser urology treatment in Mumbai and, when needed, urological surgery in Mumbai. Diagnostics and treatment are available in one location, supported by dedicated operating theatres, an intensive care unit, diagnostic laboratories, and round-the-clock care in NABH-accredited facilities.

Conditions We Treat

The Urology Department at Apex Group of Hospitals manages conditions of the urinary tract and male reproductive system across the full clinical range, from a stone causing sudden colic to a cancer needing planned surgery. As a trusted urologist in Mumbai for both routine and complex conditions, Apex assesses each patient individually before recommending a treatment pathway.

Conditions the department manages include:

• Kidney and ureteric stones: stones in the kidney or the tube leading from it, causing severe flank pain, blood in the urine, infection or blockage. Patients seeking kidney stone treatment in Mumbai are assessed for stone size, position and kidney function and treated with minimally invasive techniques wherever possible.
• Enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia): weak urine flow, frequent night-time urination, urgency, a feeling of incomplete emptying and, in some men, complete retention of urine. Apex offers medicines, minimally invasive procedures and surgery for prostate treatment in Mumbai, matched to the size of the prostate and the patient's health.
• Prostate cancer and raised PSA: screening, targeted biopsy, staging and treatment planning for men with a raised PSA level or an abnormal prostate examination.
• Urinary tract infection and blood in the urine: recurrent or complicated infections, and blood in the urine that always needs investigation to find its cause.
• Urinary incontinence and retention: leakage of urine, an overactive bladder, difficulty emptying the bladder and urethral narrowing (stricture).
• Male sexual health and fertility: erectile dysfunction, ejaculation problems, low sex drive, varicocele, low sperm count and other causes of male infertility.
• Urological cancers: tumours of the kidney, bladder, prostate and testis.
• Paediatric urological conditions: undescended testis, hypospadias, hydronephrosis, vesicoureteral reflux and other conditions in infants and children.

During a consultation, the urologist reviews symptoms, examines the patient and may request urine tests, blood tests including PSA and kidney function, ultrasound, CT or MRI imaging, or a uroflowmetry test before discussing the diagnosis. Treatment depends entirely on what the assessment shows. Medicines, lifestyle and diet changes, bladder training, minimally invasive procedures or surgery are all considered based on the individual clinical picture. Not every urological problem needs an operation, and many are controlled with medicines and monitoring alone.
