The placement of a hormone pellet under the skin is a simple procedure. A small pellet is inserted under the skin, usually in the hip area. This pellet slowly releases hormones into your body to help balance hormone levels. It's a safe, effective way to manage hormone-related conditions.

This procedure involves placing a temporary tube into your bladder to help with urine flow. It's done when the body can't naturally remove urine. The tube is inserted through a small opening and allows urine to drain into a bag. It's usually a short-term solution.

This procedure involves expanding a narrow passage in your urinary tract with the help of a special instrument called an endoscope. It aids in improving urine flow and resolving related issues, ensuring better urinary health.

This procedure involves using a thin, flexible tube with a light, called an endoscope, to examine the bladder and urethra. It helps in identifying any abnormalities or issues that may be causing discomfort or other symptoms.

A bacterial urine culture is a laboratory test that checks for bacteria in your urine. It helps identify the type of bacteria causing an infection, enabling the selection of the most effective treatment. The test involves collecting a urine sample in a sterile container.

This service involves an outpatient visit for established patients who may not need direct interaction with a healthcare professional. It could include reviewing test results, monitoring existing conditions, or adjusting treatment plans. It's typically done remotely, ensuring your comfort and convenience.

Ultrasound measurement of bladder capacity after voiding is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to create images of your bladder. It's done after you've emptied your bladder to see if there's any leftover urine, which can help diagnose certain conditions.

This procedure involves the careful removal of a small gland located in the lower body using a special heated knife, inserted through a natural body passage. An endoscope, a thin tube with a light and camera, helps to manage any bleeding. The aim is to alleviate discomfort and improve overall health.

A Complete Blood Cell Count is a common test that measures various components of the blood, including red cells (carry oxygen), white cells (fight infection), and platelets (help blood clot). An automated test ensures accuracy. The differential count provides detailed information about white cell types.

This procedure involves placing a small device in the gland below the bladder to deliver radiation therapy. This helps target therapy directly to the concerned area, potentially reducing side effects and improving treatment effectiveness.

A bacterial culture for aerobic isolates is a lab test that helps identify bacteria that thrive in oxygen-rich environments. A sample from the suspected infection site is collected, then placed in a special medium that promotes bacterial growth. After a set period, the lab identifies any bacteria present, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This process checks how well certain drugs, like antibiotics, can fight against infections. It involves mixing the drug with a microbe (like bacteria or a virus) in a lab. By observing how the microbe reacts, it helps determine the best drug to treat your infection.

This procedure involves electronically analyzing an implanted neurostimulator. This device sends electrical pulses to your spinal cord or peripheral nerves to manage pain. The programming is complex, requiring expert analysis to ensure proper functioning.

This procedure involves placing a small, flexible tube (stent) in your body's drainage system to help urine flow from the kidneys to the bladder. An endoscope, a thin tube with a light and camera, is used for precise placement.

This procedure involves the use of a thin, flexible tool called an endoscope. It's inserted through the body's natural pathways to reach the area where urine is transported. A small tube is then placed in this area to help with urine flow or to remove blockages.

A biopsy of the prostate gland is a procedure where a small sample of tissue is taken from your body's internal gland, located near the bladder, for testing. This helps in diagnosing potential health issues. It's usually done with a fine needle and imaging technology for accuracy.

This procedure involves the introduction of a biodegradable substance near a gland located in the lower abdomen. This substance helps to create a barrier between the gland and nearby tissues, aiding in the precise delivery of treatment to the intended area.

An ultrasound scan of the pelvic region through the rectum is a medical procedure where a small, smooth device is gently inserted into the rectum. This device uses sound waves to create images of the internal structures in the lower abdomen, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.
