Your first visit

Urinary problems are easy to put off and hard to talk about. The first visit is private, unhurried, and usually ends with a clear diagnosis.

  1. He listens first

    Your symptoms, how long they have lasted, past stones or infections, other illnesses and the medicines you take.

  2. Examination and tests

    A careful examination, then a urine test, blood tests and an ultrasound when needed. Earlier scans and reports are reviewed first.

  3. A clear plan

    What the problem is, whether medicines are enough, and if a procedure is needed, what it involves and how long recovery takes.

Every first visit starts with listening, and a family member is welcome in the room.

What to bring

Bring whatever you have. If something is missing, the doctor will tell you what is needed.

  • Ultrasound, CT or X-ray reports, with the films or CDs
  • Urine and blood test reports from the last six months
  • Previous prescriptions and discharge summaries
  • A list of your medicines, especially blood thinners

Kidneys, bladder and prostate

Conditions treated

Urologists treat problems of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate and the male reproductive organs, with medicines and with surgery. These are the most common reasons people come to see Dr. Shiva Kumar.

  • Kidney and ureter stones

    Severe pain in the back or side, blood in the urine and repeated infections, treated with medicines, shock waves or a scope, depending on the size and place of the stone.

  • Prostate enlargement

    A weak stream, getting up at night and a feeling of not emptying, in men over fifty, treated with tablets first and with TURP or laser surgery when needed.

  • Urinary infections

    Burning, frequency and fever, treated with the right antibiotic and a check for stones, prostate problems or sugar when infections keep coming back.

  • Blood in the urine

    Always investigated. The cause may be a stone, an infection or, less often, a growth in the bladder or kidney, found with scans and a scope.

  • Men’s sexual health and fertility

    Erection problems, varicocele and low sperm counts, assessed with tests and treated with medicines, counselling or a small procedure.

  • Kidney, bladder and prostate cancers

    Cancers of the urinary system, staged with scans and operated on, including keyhole surgery, as part of a team plan.

  • Children and women

    Bedwetting and urine infections in children; leakage on coughing or an overactive bladder in women.

This list covers the most common reasons for a visit. If your problem is not listed, send a request and ask.

What patients say

Stories from patients and families, in their own words.

    Many urinary problems are controlled with tablets, water and time.

    Prostate symptoms and small stones often need no procedure at all. The panel lists the medicine groups you may hear about.

    • Drink enough water to pass two to two and a half litres of urine a day if you have had a stone.
    • Prostate tablets can cause dizziness on standing; rise slowly.
    • Fever with back pain and burning urine, or being unable to pass urine at all, is an emergency.

    Not being able to pass urine at all, fever with shivering and back pain, severe stone pain with vomiting, or heavy bleeding in the urine with clots. Go to the nearest emergency department at once.
