Urology is the medical speciality that deals with the male genital organs and the urinary system. Diseases of the kidneys, renal pelvis, renal ducts, urethra, and bladder are not only a common phenomenon in men, so if any female patient suffer from urinary retention and urination problems, they can also consult a urologist. Men can visit a urologist if they experience discomfort in the areas of the penis, testicles, and epididymis, as well as the prostate, vas deferens and seminal vesicles.
Circumcision is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the foreskin. The primary medical reasons for foreskin removal are phimosis, chronic inflammation, recurrent urinary tract infections, or recurring conditions such as condyloma or HPV. Additionally, the procedure may reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and penile cancer. Adult circumcision can be performed under general anaesthesia, meaning the patient is fully sedated and asleep during the procedure. Performing the surgery under general anaesthesia helps to avoid the pain and anxiety often associated with the operation.
Condyloma is an infectious genital wart that appears as a flat or wart-like growth, skin-coloured or brownish, in the genital area. It is caused by HPV infection, which is sexually transmitted. Untreated condyloma can proliferate abnormally and pose a risk to the sexual partner, making timely removal essential. HPV-caused warts can be surgically removed under general anaesthesia, especially if there are numerous warts or they are in hard-to-reach areas where local anaesthesia is less effective.
Hydrocele surgery is performed to remove fluid accumulation in the scrotum, a common urological procedure. This fluid buildup can cause discomfort or pain. Although hydrocele is not always a severe condition, if swelling increases rapidly, becomes painful, or other symptoms arise, medical consultation is recommended to rule out more serious issues. Surgical intervention is indicated if the fluid causes pain, discomfort, aesthetic concerns, or there is a risk of infection or other complications.
A spermatocele is a benign cyst filled with fluid and sperm that develops above or alongside the epididymis. Typically, it is painless and harmless, so treatment is not necessary if it does not cause symptoms or problems. However, if the spermatocele grows large, causes pain, or poses aesthetic concerns, surgical intervention may be warranted.
A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins surrounding the testicle due to blood stagnation and increased pressure. This condition often occurs around the left testicle, as the anatomical location of the left veins is more prone to blood flow issues. Varicocele can impact male fertility by raising scrotal temperature, which may decrease sperm quality and count. The goal of varicocele surgery is to remove or seal off the enlarged veins to improve symptoms and/or enhance fertility.
An atheroma, or cystic atheroma, is a benign lesion that can occur in several areas of the body, including the scrotum and penis. This fat-filled lump can range in size from 1-2 cm to several cm. Its formation is caused by a blockage of the sebaceous gland ducts, with continuous production of sebum, resulting in swelling. The removal of a sebaceous tumour is typically done for aesthetic reasons, but an inflamed atheroma may already be associated with pain and fever and may require urgent surgical intervention.
A caruncula urethrae, also known as a urethral polyp, is usually a benign, red, soft-patterned lump that may appear at the front of the female urethra. Its development is most often caused by a lack of estrogen production and an increase in excessive, chronic abdominal pressure, as well as recurrent urinary tract infections. It most commonly occurs in women who have already gone through menopause. Minor lesions do not usually cause complaints, but the size of the polyp can lead to bleeding, vaginal pain and bladder-type complaints. Rarely, it may regress on its own without treatment, but in the case of a large caruncula urethrae that causes complaints, surgical excision is indicated. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia.
Circumcision involves the surgical removal of the foreskin. The most common reasons for foreskin removal for medical reasons are foreskin constriction, chronic inflammation, various urinary tract infections or recurrent diseases (condyloma, HPV). However, the procedure can also reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and penile cancer. Circumcision is performed under local anaesthesia.
A condyloma is an infectious genital wart, which is a flat or warty, skin-coloured or brownish growth on the intimate area. It is caused by HPV infection, which is sexually transmitted. Untreated condyloma can grow abnormally and can be a danger to the sexual partner, so it should be removed as soon as possible. The safest and most effective way to remove warts is laser treatment, i.e. cauterisation.
Cystoscopy is a medical examination in which a thin tube equipped with a light source and camera (cystoscope) is inserted through the urethra into the bladder. This procedure allows the doctor to directly view the inner lining of the bladder and the condition of the urethra. It is most used to diagnose urinary tract infections, blood in the urine, bladder stones, tumours, or other abnormalities, and sometimes to perform certain interventions (e.g., biopsy, polyp removal).
The penile frenulum plays a crucial role in male anatomy by connecting the foreskin to the head of the penis. When this small piece of skin is too short, it can lead to a condition known as frenulum breve, causing discomfort and several problems. A painful, shortened, scarred foreskin can hinder penile cleansing, result in damage to the urethra and can also be an obstacle during sexual activities.
Various changes may appear on the scrotum, the removal of which is essential in almost all cases. These procedures involve excision of atheroma, or tumours above 2cm, and removal of lipoma. In both cases, the tumours are benign, and their removal is usually justified on aesthetic grounds.
