Urology department at CMC Hospital, Vellore
The Urology department at CMC Hospital, Vellore, addresses problems related to urine in men, women, and kids, and problems related to sex in men. It addresses the following concerns:
Diseases related to kidney
Your kidneys help you remove waste products such as urea via urine. The Urology department helps you deal with the kidney problems such as kidney stones and kidney failure (when kidney stops working.) Specialists at CMC Hospital treat you with lifestyle changes such as modifications in the diet, medicines, specialised procedures such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and surgery if needed.
Diseases related to bladder
A bladder is an organ which stores your urine. A healthy bladder stores up to two cups/ 400 ml of urine during the day and four cups/ 800 ml of urine during the night. When you reach the limit, your bladder helps you empty your urine. If you have any issues such as pain in your bladder area (below your tummy,) your bladder doesn’t store enough urine, your body is giving you signals to pass urine too often, or if you are not able to empty your bladder completely, the urology department at CMC can help you.
Diseases related to the urinary tract
The urinary tract is the duct via which you pass urine. If you have problems such as urinary tract infection or cancer, specialists help you get well soon.
Issues related to sex or reproduction in men
If you face problems such as erectile dysfunction (where the penis doesn’t get erect) or infertility (you are not able to be a father) doctors at the urology department can help you recover.
The urology department at CMC Hospital, Vellore, has sophisticated equipment such as cystoscope or endoscope to diagnose the exact problem. You need special X-rays such as IVU/ Intravenous urogram, Micturating cystograms, Nuclear Isotope scans, Ultrasound, CT Scan, and MRI to diagnose the diseases related to urology.
