Frequently Asked Questions
Who writes and reviews the medical articles on this urology blog
Every guide on this blog is written and medically reviewed by Dr. S. Sureshbalaji (MS, DNB, MCh – Urology), a Senior Consultant Urologist, Andrologist, and Renal Transplant Surgeon in Trichy with over 10 years of surgical experience and more than 50,000 patient consultations.
When should I stop waiting for a kidney stone to pass and see a urologist in Trichy?
While small stones under 5mm often pass naturally with plenty of water and medication, you should consult a urologist immediately if you experience severe back or groin pain that does not improve with painkillers, fever with chills, vomiting, visible blood in your urine, or difficulty passing urine.
Are laser kidney stone and prostate surgeries painful or do they require open cuts?
Modern laser urology procedures such as RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) and URSL are completely incision-free. Because a thin, flexible scope passes through natural urinary pathways to dust the stone with a holmium laser, there are no external cuts or stitches, and most patients return home within 24 hours.
Can couples visit Dr. S. Sureshbalaji for private male infertility and andrology evaluations?
Yes. Male factor issues contribute to nearly half of all fertility challenges, and our clinic provides confidential, judgment-free evaluations in Trichy. From basic semen analysis and hormone testing to advanced microsurgical treatments, we create clear, personalized care plans for couples.
