If your kidneys did not working properly, it may leads to kidney failure. When this happens, wastes and fluids can build up in your body, your blood pressure may increase, and your body may not be able to make enough red blood cells.

What is Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty?

Ureteropelvic Junction (UPJ) Obstruction is a condition that causes obstruction in the flow of urine from the renal pelvis to the proximal ureter. Normally the reason for this condition is purely congenital, where the obstruction occurs at the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ).

This operation is used to correct a blockage  of the ureter where it leaves the kidney. This is called a Ureteropelvic Junction (UPJ) Obstruction which leads to  poor and sluggish drainage of urine from the kidney. UPJ obstruction can potentially cause abdominal and flank pain, stones, infection, high blood pressure and deterioration of kidney function.

Is Diabetes a Threat to Your Life..??? Be Aware the Burden of Diabetes..!!!

     You know that the diabetes and urologic diseases are very common health problems that increases in people now-a-days. Diabetes is often called the silent killer because of its easy-to-miss symptoms. Diabetes is associated with an earlier onset and increased severity of urologic diseases, resulting in costly urologic complications. Urologic complications, including bladder dysfunction, sexual and erectile dysfunction, as well as urinary tract infections (UTIs), have a profound effect on the quality of life of men and women with diabetes.

BLADDER DYSFUNCTION AND DIABETES

Over 50% of men and women with diabetes have bladder dysfunction. 
Symptoms:

• Urinary urgency
• Frequency
• Nocturia
• Incontinence

  In women, urinary incontinence is estimated to affect nearly 50% of middle aged and older women, leading to significant distress, limitations in daily functioning, and poorer quality of life. 

  In men, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common, age-related complaints that are often attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). LUTS and BPH increase rapidly with age starting at about age 50 years. 

SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION AND DIABETES

Erectile dysfunction, reduced libido, orgasmic dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation are established complications found with variable prevalence in men with diabetes. Reduced desire, decreased arousal, and painful intercourse are increased sexual problems in women with diabetes, with a reported prevalence of 18–42%.

Male sexual dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) occurs in a substantial number of men with diabetes. 
ED in diabetic men significantly impacts their quality of life. In men with diabetes, the relative risk for ED increases with poor glycemic control, duration of diabetes, and the number of other nonurologic complications of diabetes (i.e., retinopathy, nephropathy, and limb loss). 

Female sexual dysfunction

Female sexual dysfunction is associated with biological, psychological, and social determinants. It includes disorders of desire/libido, arousal, inhibited orgasm, and sexual pain. Prevalence increases with age, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, hysterectomy, and neurological conditions.

UTIs AND DIABETES 

UTIs occur more commonly in women with diabetes than in those without diabetes. Knowledge of risk factors for UTIs in diabetic women is important to identify women in need of therapy to prevent serious complications.



COMMON SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES

• Unusual increase of thirst and urination
• Abnormal increase in appetite
• Sudden loss in weight
• Mental exertion or Fatigue
• Slow rate of healing wounds
• Blurry vision
• Dryness of skin
• Tingling or Numbness in Hands, Legs or Fee

Are You Suffering From Severe Back Pain or  Burning Sensation During Urination???

It is may be of kidney stone or due to other urology infection. Kidney stones (or calculi) are hard stones that can form in one or both of your kidneys. They can cause severe pain, known as renal colic. Kidney stones are common – five to 10 in 100 people are affected by pain associated with kidney stones at some point in their life. Most people who get kidney stones for the first time are aged between 20 and 50. Most kidney stones (about four out of five) are made up of calcium salts (calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate, or both). They can also be made up of other substances,including uric acid, cystine and struvite. They can range in size and may be smooth or jagged in texture.

Symptoms of kidney stones

Many kidney stones are too small to cause symptoms. But if a kidney stone causes a blockage or moves into your ureter, it may cause symptoms, such as: 

• severe pain or ache on one or both sides of your back
• sudden spasms of excruciating pain – this usually starts in the back below your ribs, radiating around your abdomen, and sometimes to your groin and genitals
• blood in your urine
• feeling sick or vomiting
• needing to urinate often, or feeling a burning sensation during urination 

Causes of kidney stones

Men are more likely to get kidney stones than women. About half of people who have had a kidney stone go on to get more within 10 years. In most people, there is no obvious reason for what causes kidney stones, although you may be more likely to get them if you:

• have a family history of kidney stones
• are aged between 30 and 50
• are taking certain medicines – for example, protease inhibitors (such as indinavir) and certain diuretics (such as triamterene)
• are taking too many vitamin C or calcium/vitamin D supplements, or antacids
• have a condition affecting the shape or structure of your kidney
• have a lot of salt or protein in your diet
• don't drink enough fluids
• have certain conditions, such as hyperparathyroidism, high blood pressure or Crohn’s disease
• have cystitis – the bacteria that cause this infection can break down the a substance found in urine called urea, which can lead to kidney stones.

Treatment of kidney stones

Medicines

If your kidney stone is less than 10mm (1cm) and doesn’t need to be removed immediately, your urologist may offer medicines called alpha-blockers to help the stone pass out in your urine. This is called medical expulsive therapy (MET).

Non-surgical treatments

• extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)
  

Surgery

• Ureteroscopic stone removal
  

• Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
