Urology
At HM Hospitales, urological health is addressed with the utmost precision and a comprehensive approach. We have state-of-the-art technology in diagnosis and treatment, which allows us to provide personalized, high-quality care. In addition, we emphasize the prevention and early diagnosis of urological diseases to ensure a better prognosis and a higher quality of life.
What is urology?
Urology is the medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the urinary system and the male reproductive system. In our hospitals, we treat a wide range of conditions, from urinary tract infections and kidney stones to prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction.
Comprehensive approach
Our urologists provide you with personalized care, taking into account your medical history and lifestyle. To achieve this, we use advanced imaging technology, guaranteeing accurate diagnoses. We collaborate closely with other specialties to offer you comprehensive and multidisciplinary care.
In addition, our team has extensive experience in various areas of urology. In urologic oncology, we offer advanced treatments for prostate, kidney, bladder, and testicular cancer. In andrology, we focus on male sexual and reproductive health. And in functional, female, and reconstructive urology, we address problems such as urinary incontinence and prolapses.
Diagnostic techniques
To make an accurate diagnosis, we use various techniques that allow us to assess the condition of your urinary and reproductive systems. We perform urine tests to detect infections and other abnormalities. Blood tests, including PSA (prostate-specific antigen), help us detect prostate cancer and other conditions. Ultrasound scans, on the other hand, allow us to obtain images of the organs of the urinary and reproductive systems. In addition, biopsies consist of extracting a tissue sample for microscopic analysis, and cystoscopies allow us to visualize the inside of the bladder and urethra. Finally, urodynamic studies assess bladder and sphincter function, while imaging tests such as CT (computed tomography) and MRI provide detailed images of the organs and tissues of the urinary and reproductive systems.
Treatments
We offer treatments tailored to each patient, from pharmacotherapy to the most innovative surgical techniques. We perform minimally invasive surgeries, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, as well as procedures for lithiasis (kidney stones), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate) and erectile dysfunction.
At HM Hospitales, we have a urological robotic surgery unit with extensive experience in the use of the Da Vinci system. This advanced robotic system allows our surgeons to perform complex surgeries with greater precision and control, thanks to enhanced three-dimensional vision and articulated robotic arms. This translates into smaller incisions, less bleeding, and faster recovery for our patients.
In addition, we offer Holmium laser prostate enucleation (HoLEP), a technique that uses a laser to remove enlarged prostate tissue, as well as robotic prostate surgery, which provides precise results and faster recovery in the treatment of BPH and prostate cancer.
If you experience urinary problems, sexual difficulties, or suspect any urological condition, do not hesitate to contact us.
