Urology is a medical specialty that focuses on the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra) and the male reproductive system (prostate, testicles, penis).

These can include pain or burning during urination, frequent urination, blood in the urine, difficulty emptying the bladder, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and lower back pain.

Risk factors include age, family history, lifestyle habits (smoking), and certain medical conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure).

Maintain a healthy weight, drink plenty of fluids, avoid smoking, and eat a balanced diet.

Tests may include urinalysis, urine culture, blood tests, imaging tests (ultrasound, CT scan), and urodynamic testing.

The ELECTROLYTES Test helps diagnose and monitor conditions such as dehydration, kidney diseases, and metabolic disorders by assessing essential mineral levels.

No special preparation is typically needed, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.

Abnormal electrolyte levels can indicate dehydration, kidney disorders, heart conditions, diabetes complications, or metabolic imbalances.

Results are usually available within a few hours to a day after the blood sample is collected.

The ELECTROLYTES Test at Chirayu SuperSpeciality Hospital is priced at ₹550.

Cystoscopy surgery involves using a cystoscope to examine the bladder and urethra, allowing for diagnosis and treatment of bladder conditions.
