Urologist

Urology and andrology are branches of medicine that deal with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the urinary system in men and women, as well as the male reproductive system. At Diavita Institute, we offer a comprehensive approach: modern diagnostic methods, highly accurate minimally invasive procedures and individual recovery programs.

Urology is a branch of medicine that covers the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the genitourinary system in men and the urinary system in women.

Urological diseases

Genitourinary diseases include a wide range of disorders. Among the most common are: urinary tract infections (acute and chronic pyelonephritis, cystitis, urethritis), urolithiasis (kidney and bladder stones), prostate adenoma (benign hyperplasia) and prostatitis. Urologists also treat various anatomical and functional disorders - from phimosis, paraphimosis to penile curvature, genetic abnormalities of the kidney/urinary tract, and urinary incontinence in women.

Andrology is a section of urology that focuses on men's health: infertility, sexual disorders, and hormonal disorders. Diavita Institute specialists possess modern methods of diagnosis and therapy of these diseases, trying to detect the problem at an early stage and provide effective treatment.

Andrological diseases and men's health

Andrologists deal with issues of reproductive and sexual health in men. Typical problems include:

• Prostatitis and prostate adenoma. Inflammatory processes and benign growth of prostate tissue lead to difficulty urinating and discomfort.

• Erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction impairs the quality of sexual life and can be a signal of vascular or hormonal problems.

• Male infertility and hormonal disorders. Fertility problems, decreased testosterone levels (male menopause), and impaired spermatogenesis require comprehensive diagnosis and treatment.

• Sexually transmitted infections. Urethritis and other STIs cause inflammation and complications of reproductive function.

• Deformities and injuries of the genitals. Peyronie's disease, hypospadias, epispadias, etc. require specialized treatment.

The main reasons for consulting an andrologist include: chronic inflammatory processes of the prostate gland (prostatitis), benign prostatic hyperplasia (adenoma), erectile dysfunction and low libido, male infertility and reduced sperm motility, genital infections and STIs, penile deformities (Peyronie's disease), and congenital anomalies (hypospadias).

All these problems require a professional approach: Diavita Institute applies latest diagnostic methods (this includes ultrasound, Doppler, laboratory tests for hormones and infections, as well as modern minimally invasive endoscopy).

Diagnostics

The examination begins with a history and examination. The doctor clarifies the complaints, conducts a visual examination and palpation of the kidneys, prostate and genitals. Then laboratory tests (complete blood count and urine analysis, PSA test, hormone panels, sperm analysis) and instrumental methods are prescribed. Diavita Institute has premium ultrasound equipment for examining the kidneys, prostate and bladder. If necessary, the doctor performs endoscopic tests - cystoscopy, urethroscopy, ultrasound-guided biopsy, etc. Such a comprehensive approach allows you to accurately identify the pathology and choose the optimal treatment strategy.

Treatment

Diavita Institute offers a full range of therapeutic and surgical treatment methods. Treatment usually begins with conservative measures (antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, hormonal correction) and lifestyle correction. Diavita Institute urologists are experts in modern technologies: minimally invasive procedures, laparoscopy and microsurgical interventions, endoscopic stone removal, lithotripsy and litholapaxy, endoscopic surgeries (bipolar transurethral resection, plasma resection, urethrotomy).

In cases where surgery is necessary, transurethral, microsurgical, and laparoscopic interventions are used, as well as the full range of modern urological technologies. All of these minimally invasive techniques provide a shorter rehabilitation period and high efficiency.

Men's reproductive and endocrine health

The Institute pays special attention to male reproductive health and hormonal disorders. Andrology investigates the causes of male infertility and sexual dysfunction. We conduct modern examinations (including spermogram, hormonal tests, scrotal ultrasound) and provide assistance with varicocele, hormonal imbalances, etc. A decrease in testosterone levels with age (the so-called "male menopause") requires consultation with an endocrinologist; in joint work, specialists select individual hormonal therapy.

Erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common reasons for referral. It is often associated with vascular factors, endocrinopathies or psychological problems. Treatment includes not only medications (phosphodiesterase inhibitors, hormonal drugs) and physiotherapy, but also specialized hardware techniques (focused shock wave therapy FSWT). In modern practice, intracavernous injections are also widely used, and in some cases, modern hydraulic and mechanical surgical implants. Thanks to the multidisciplinary approach, the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) are becoming more comprehensive and effective.

Female urology

Urological problems also occur in women. Cystitis (bladder inflammation) are very common due to the peculiarities of anatomy; they require antibacterial therapy and prevention of relapses. Doctors also treat enuresis (stress, urgent type) - with modern methods, for example, surgical strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles or implantation of sling systems (TVT-O). A urologist also restores health together with a nephrologist in chronic inflammation of the urinary tract (pyelonephritis) and diseases and conditions that affect urination. It is important to remember that "a urologist deals with everything related to the urinary system, including in women", so timely consultation with a doctor allows you to avoid complications.

At Diavita Institute, each patient is guaranteed an individual, confidential approach and high quality medical care. Our doctors - expert urologists and andrologists with extensive experience - use the latest diagnostic and treatment methods, confirmed by research and practical experience. We carefully listen to complaints, draw up a complete diagnostic concept and select the optimal course of treatment.
