Urology is the clinical department for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the urinary system and male reproductive system, primarily involving surgical problems of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, prostate and testicles. Urinary system diseases include common conditions such as stones and infections as well as serious conditions such as tumors; the department is distinguished by minimally invasive techniques, emphasizing functional preservation and quality of life. Scope of Services and Common Conditions The department's main clinical scope includes: kidney stones, ureteral stones and bladder stones; benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis and prostate cancer; bladder tumors, kidney tumors and adrenal tumors; urinary tract infections; differential diagnosis of hematuria; and male reproductive system diseases including varicocele, cryptorchidism and redundant prepuce. For symptoms including lower back pain, hematuria, difficulty urinating, frequent and urgent urination, and perineal discomfort, the department provides systematic diagnosis and treatment. Specialized Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques Urology is proficient in minimally invasive lithotripsy techniques including extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopic lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy; most stones can be efficiently removed through minimally invasive approaches. The department performs endoscopic surgeries such as laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, radical prostatectomy and transurethral resection of bladder tumors, with minimal trauma and rapid recovery. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, it offers individualized choices between pharmacotherapy and minimally invasive surgery, emphasizing the preservation of urinary continence and sexual function postoperatively. Who Should Visit and Clinic Guide Individuals with recurrent lower back pain, hematuria, difficulty urinating or nocturia, and men over 50 undergoing regular prostate examinations are advised to visit Urology. Please bring previous urinalysis and imaging materials when visiting; the physician may arrange further examinations such as urinary ultrasound, CT or cystoscopy. Stone patients should drink plenty of water and adjust dietary structure to prevent stone recurrence. Clinic Notes Seek urgent emergency care for sudden severe lower back pain with nausea and vomiting, gross hematuria, or acute urinary retention. Prostate cancer often has no obvious early symptoms; middle-aged and older men should value prostate-specific antigen screening for early detection and treatment. Patients diagnosed with urological tumors should receive standardized treatment and regular follow-up as prescribed. Department Features and Advantages. Urology excels in minimally invasive techniques; extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopic and percutaneous nephrolithotomy spare most stone patients from open surgery. The department provides standardized diagnosis and treatment for prostate diseases and urological tumors; laparoscopic surgery offers minimal trauma and rapid recovery, with emphasis on preserving postoperative urinary function and quality of life. Daily Prevention and Health Advice. Drinking plenty of water is key to protecting the urinary system. It is recommended to drink 1500-2000 ml of water daily, avoid holding urine, reduce high-purine and high-oxalate diets, and control salt intake. Middle-aged and older men should pay attention to prostate health and seek medical attention promptly for difficulty urinating or nocturia. Seek medical attention promptly for hematuria or lower back pain; do not ignore these signs. Appointments and Friendly Reminders. Patients can book appointments for the corresponding specialty outpatient clinics through the hospital website, by phone or on this platform. Please bring your ID, previous medical records and recent examination reports when visiting, and truthfully inform the physician of your current medications, allergies and past medical history so that an individualized plan can be developed. For special examinations requiring fasting, bladder filling or bowel preparation, please prepare strictly according to the physician's instructions in advance to ensure accurate results. The department implements a first-visit responsibility system, establishing health management records for you and providing continuous services from outpatient care, examination and treatment to follow-up.
