Urology & Urinary Health Services
Urology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the kidneys, urinary bladder, ureters, urethra and male reproductive system. At Habib Hospital, urological care focuses on evaluating symptoms, identifying underlying conditions and guiding appropriate treatment.
Problems such as kidney stones, difficulty passing urine, recurrent urinary tract infections and prostate-related symptoms may require specialist evaluation.
Comprehensive Urological Care
Urological conditions can affect people of different ages and may range from temporary infections to conditions requiring ongoing medical care or surgical treatment.
- Kidney and urinary tract stones
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Prostate enlargement and related symptoms
- Bladder and urinary disorders
- Male reproductive and sexual health concerns
- Urinary difficulties and incontinence
Kidney Stones & Urinary Tract Disorders
Kidney stones develop when minerals and salts form hard deposits in the urinary tract. They may cause severe side or back pain, blood in the urine, nausea or difficulty passing urine. Evaluation may include urine tests, blood tests and appropriate imaging.
Treatment depends on the size and location of the stone and may include observation, medication or a suitable procedure when required.
Prostate & Bladder Conditions
Prostate enlargement may cause frequent urination, a weak urine stream, difficulty starting urination or a feeling that the bladder has not emptied completely. Bladder conditions may also cause urgency, discomfort or changes in urination patterns.
A urologist may recommend examination, urine testing, imaging or other investigations based on the symptoms and medical history.
Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections can cause burning during urination, frequent urination, urgency and lower abdominal discomfort. Some infections may involve the kidneys and require prompt medical attention. Diagnosis and treatment depend on the symptoms and appropriate urine investigations.
Diagnosis & Treatment
The evaluation of urological conditions may involve a medical consultation, physical examination, urine tests, blood tests, ultrasound, CT scans or other investigations when indicated.
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include medication, lifestyle guidance, minimally invasive procedures or surgery. The treatment plan is tailored to the patient's condition and clinical needs.

Consider a urological consultation if you experience:
- Pain or burning during urination
- Blood in the urine
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Difficulty passing urine
