Urology in Gurgaon: Conditions We Treat & When to See a Urologist

Urology covers a wide range of health issues, including kidney stones, urinary infections, prostate changes, incontinence, and bladder problems. This page explains what a urologist treats, common urology conditions in Gurgaon, when symptoms should be checked, and what treatment and costs may involve.

What a Urologist Treats

Urology covers the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as the male reproductive system. Common conditions include:

Kidney stones and other urinary tract stone diseases
Enlarged prostate (BPH) and related urinary symptoms
Urinary tract infections, particularly recurrent UTIs
Urinary incontinence and overactive bladder
Erectile dysfunction and male infertility
Blood in the urine (hematuria), which warrants medical evaluation
Urologic cancers involving the kidney, bladder, prostate, and testicles

For prostate cancer specifically, see our dedicated prostate cancer treatment page for procedure- and staging-specific information.

Kidney Stones

Hard deposits that form in the kidneys, often causing sudden, severe pain in the back or side and sometimes blood in the urine. Treatment ranges from watchful waiting and hydration for small stones to shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for larger or symptomatic stones.

Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

A non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that can cause a weak urine stream, frequent urination, especially at night, and difficulty fully emptying the bladder. Treatment ranges from medication to minimally invasive or surgical procedures for more significant cases.

Urinary Incontinence

Involuntary leakage of urine that can have several underlying causes. Evaluation typically starts by understanding the specific pattern of leakage before recommending pelvic floor therapy, medication, or a surgical option.

Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections

Occasional UTIs are common and usually straightforward to treat, but recurrent infections warrant a closer evaluation for underlying causes, such as anatomical factors or incomplete bladder emptying.

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction can have physical, vascular, hormonal, or psychological contributing factors. Proper evaluation looks at underlying causes, including cardiovascular risk factors, rather than jumping straight to medication.

When to See a Urologist

Certain urinary or reproductive symptoms should be evaluated by a urologist, particularly when they are persistent, recurrent, or sudden in onset.

Blood in the urine, even after a single episode

Sudden, severe flank or back pain, which can indicate a kidney stone

Weak urine stream, frequent nighttime urination, or difficulty starting urination

Recurrent urinary tract infections

Involuntary urine leakage that affects daily life

Persistent erectile dysfunction

A lump or unusual sensation in the testicle

        Important: Persistent or unexplained urinary symptoms should be evaluated by a qualified urologist to identify the underlying cause and determine appropriate treatment.
    

How Urologic Conditions Are Diagnosed

Diagnosis depends on the symptoms and suspected condition. Your urologist may recommend one or more tests to identify the underlying cause.

Urinalysis and urine culture — checks for infection, blood, and other markers

Ultrasound or CT scan — used to detect kidney stones and assess urinary structures

PSA blood test — used to evaluate prostate-related concerns

Cystoscopy — a scope examination of the bladder, often used for persistent blood in urine or recurrent infections

Urodynamic testing — assesses bladder function in cases of incontinence or urinary retention

        Important: The tests recommended depend on your symptoms, medical history, and the urologist's clinical assessment.
    

Common Urology Procedures

Procedure	Typically Used For
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)	Breaking up smaller kidney stones non-invasively.
Ureteroscopy (URSL)	Removing stones lodged in the ureter using a scope.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)	Treating larger kidney stones through a small incision.
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)	Treating significant BPH that has not responded adequately to medication.
Cystoscopy	Diagnostic evaluation of the bladder and urinary tract.

Type and Complexity of Procedure

Treatment costs depend on the specific procedure recommended and how complex the condition is. Different urology procedures have different costs.

Stone Size and Location

For kidney stone treatment, the size, number, and location of the stone can influence the choice of procedure and overall treatment cost.

Minimally Invasive vs. Open Surgery

Costs may differ depending on whether the condition can be treated using a minimally invasive approach or requires a more extensive surgical procedure.

Length of Hospital Stay

The duration of hospitalisation, including any additional monitoring or post-procedure care, can affect the overall treatment expense.

Pre-Procedure Tests and Imaging

Diagnostic investigations such as ultrasound, CT scans, blood tests, urine tests, and other assessments may add to the overall cost.

Get a Diagnosis-Based Estimate

Because urology covers a wide range of conditions, a meaningful cost estimate is possible only after your specific diagnosis and recommended procedure have been confirmed.

Urologist vs. Nephrologist: Which Do You Need

This is a common point of confusion. A urologist handles structural and surgical issues of the urinary tract and male reproductive system — stones, prostate enlargement, incontinence, urologic cancers. A nephrologist focuses on kidney function and disease from a medical (non-surgical) standpoint — conditions like chronic kidney disease, kidney-related high blood pressure, and dialysis management. Some conditions, like kidney stones with underlying kidney function concerns, benefit from both specialists working together.

Experience With Your Condition

Ask the urologist how frequently they treat cases similar to yours and about their experience with the specific condition or procedure you may require.

Minimally Invasive Treatment Options

Where appropriate, check whether minimally invasive options such as laser, laparoscopic, or robotic procedures are available for your condition.

Clear and Itemised Pricing

Ask for a clear, itemised estimate covering the procedure, hospital charges, investigations, and other expected costs before scheduling treatment.

Discusses Non-Surgical Options

Where appropriate, your urologist should explain non-surgical treatment options and help you understand when medication, monitoring, or lifestyle changes may be suitable before considering surgery.

Support for Out-of-Station and International Patients

Gurgaon's urology centres see patients from across India and abroad, aided by proximity to Delhi's international airport. If you're planning treatment from outside the city or country, our International Patient Guide to Treatment in Gurgaon covers travel, visa, and stay planning in detail.

Not always — many urology clinics accept direct appointments, though your general physician may refer you after an initial evaluation, particularly if symptoms suggest a specific underlying condition.

Most modern kidney stone procedures — shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, and PCNL — are performed under anaesthesia and are not painful during the procedure itself. Some discomfort during recovery is normal and can usually be managed with medication.

A urologist handles structural and surgical urinary tract issues, such as stones, prostate enlargement, and urologic cancers. A nephrologist focuses on kidney function and medical kidney disease, such as chronic kidney disease and dialysis management.

It always warrants evaluation, even if it turns out to have a benign cause such as a minor infection. Blood in the urine should not be assumed to be harmless without being checked by a doctor.

Smaller stones often pass on their own with hydration and pain management, sometimes assisted by medication. Larger or symptomatic stones typically require a procedure such as lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, or PCNL.

Not always, but persistent erectile dysfunction can sometimes be an early indicator of cardiovascular or hormonal issues. A proper evaluation of the underlying causes is worthwhile rather than only treating the symptom.
