Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
UTIs are bacterial infections that affect the urinary system, including the bladder, urethra, ureters, and kidneys. Women are more prone due to anatomical differences, but men and children are also at risk.
02
Kidney Stones & Ureteric Stones
Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form inside the kidneys and may pass into the ureters, causing severe pain and complications.
03
Hematuria (Blood in Urine)
Hematuria may appear red or brown or be microscopic and detected only in tests. It can be caused by infections, stones, kidney disease, or tumors.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate, is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, commonly affecting men over 50. At Brinda Hospital, our expert urologists offer state-of-the-art diagnosis and advanced treatment options to help men manage BPH effectively and regain control of their urinary health.
What is BPH?
The prostate gland is a small, walnut-shaped organ located below the bladder and surrounding the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). As men age, the prostate may enlarge, squeezing the urethra and affecting the normal flow of urine.
Although BPH is not prostate cancer, it can significantly affect quality of life if left untreated.
Who is at Risk?
*Men aged 50 and above
*Family history of BPH
*Medical conditions like diabetes and heart disease
*Obesity and sedentary lifestyle
*Hormonal imbalance with aging

*Poor sperm motility (asthenospermia)
*Abnormal sperm shape (teratospermia)
🔹 Structural or Obstructive Causes
*Blockages in the vas deferens or epididymis
*Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum)

*Past surgeries or trauma
🔹 Hormonal Imbalances
*Low testosterone
*Pituitary or thyroid gland dysfunction
🔹 Lifestyle & Environmental Factors

🧪 How is Male Infertility Diagnosed at Brinda Hospital?
At Brinda Hospital, we follow a thorough and discreet diagnostic approach using the latest technology:
✅ Semen Analysis – Evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology
✅ Hormone Blood Tests – Check testosterone, LH, FSH, prolactin
✅ Scrotal Ultrasound – Detect varicocele, testicular damage or blockages
✅ Genetic Testing – Identify inherited causes
✅ Testicular Biopsy – Determine sperm production inside the testicles

Varicocele
Varicocele is a common yet often overlooked condition that can affect male fertility and testicular health. At Brinda Hospital, we provide advanced diagnostics, minimally invasive surgery, and personalized care to help men recover from varicocele and protect their reproductive potential.
If you’re experiencing testicular pain, swelling, or facing difficulty in conceiving, our expert urologists and andrologists are here to help.
🔍 What is Varicocele?
A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins (pampiniform plexus) within the scrotum, similar to varicose veins in the legs. It typically occurs on the left side of the scrotum and may cause discomfort, testicular shrinkage, or infertility.
🔬 Causes of Varicocele
Our urologists use accurate and non-invasive methods to diagnose varicocele.
✅ Physical Examination – Identifying swollen veins during a standing exam
✅ Scrotal Ultrasound – High-resolution imaging to confirm vein size and blood flow
✅ Semen Analysis – To assess impact on fertility
✅ Hormone Tests – In select cases to evaluate reproductive function
📊 Who is Affected by Varicocele?
*Affects 15% of all men
*Present in 40% of men with infertility
*Most commonly develops between ages 15 to 25
⚠️ Symptoms of Varicocele
Many cases of varicocele go unnoticed, but some men may experience:
*Dull, aching pain in the scrotum (especially after standing or exercising)
*Visible or palpable enlarged veins in the scrotum
*Swelling or heaviness in the testicle
*Testicular atrophy (shrinking of the testicle)
*Difficulty in conceiving (infertility)
💡 When Should You Treat Varicocele?
Varicocele treatment is recommended when:
*You experience pain or discomfort
*You and your partner are experiencing infertility
*There is testicular shrinkage (atrophy)
*Abnormal semen analysis results
Testicular Pain or Swelling
Testicular pain or swelling is a condition that should never be ignored. Whether it’s sudden and severe or dull and persistent, discomfort in the testicles could be a sign of infection, injury, or more serious issues like torsion or cancer. At Brinda Hospital, our experienced urologists and men’s health specialists offer prompt diagnosis, personalized treatment, and compassionate care for all types of scrotal and testicular conditions.
🔍 What is Testicular Pain or Swelling?
Testicular pain refers to discomfort, aching, or sharp pain in one or both testicles. Swelling may occur with or without pain and can involve the testicle itself or surrounding structures in the scrotum. It can be acute (sudden onset) or chronic (lasting more than 3 months).
