Blue Urology in Yeongdeungpo provides comprehensive, patient-centered care for urinary and men’s health concerns.

General and Diagnostic Procedures

• Cystoscopy: A thin scope is inserted through the urethra to inspect the bladder and urethra. It helps diagnose causes of blood in urine, recurrent infections, pain, or urinary blockage.
• Uroflowmetry: A noninvasive test that measures how fast and how much you urinate. It helps evaluate urinary obstruction, weak bladder, or treatment results.
• Urodynamic testing: A set of tests that measure bladder pressure and function during filling and voiding. It guides treatment for incontinence, urgency, or difficult urination.
• Prostate ultrasound: An ultrasound probe images the prostate to assess size and structure. It evaluates nodules and helps guide targeted biopsies.
• Prostate biopsy: Small tissue samples are taken from the prostate using a needle under ultrasound guidance. Pathology checks for cancer to confirm diagnosis and plan care.

Prostate and Bladder Care

• Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP): A surgical scope removes excess prostate tissue through the urethra to relieve blockage from BPH. It improves urine flow and reduces frequency, urgency, and nighttime urination.
• Laser prostate surgery: A laser is used through a scope to remove or shrink obstructing prostate tissue. It aims for faster recovery and less bleeding than traditional surgery.
• Botox injection for overactive bladder: Botulinum toxin is injected into the bladder wall via cystoscopy to calm overactivity. It reduces urgency, frequency, and leakage when medications are not enough.
• Pelvic floor therapy and biofeedback: Guided exercises strengthen pelvic muscles to improve control. It helps stress incontinence and supports recovery after prostate treatments.

Stone Management

• Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): Focused sound waves break kidney or ureteral stones into small fragments. The pieces are then passed naturally with urine.
• Ureteroscopy (laser stone removal): A thin scope is passed into the ureter or kidney to see and fragment stones with a laser, then remove them. A temporary stent is sometimes placed to keep urine flowing and reduce swelling.
• Stone analysis and prevention plan: Passed or removed stones are analyzed for composition. Diet, hydration, and medications are tailored to reduce the chances of new stones.

Men’s Health and Fertility

• Vasectomy: The vas deferens tubes are sealed through tiny skin openings for permanent contraception. It is an outpatient procedure with quick recovery and does not affect sexual function.
• Varicocele repair: Enlarged scrotal veins are tied off through a small incision to improve comfort and semen quality. Microscopic techniques reduce pain, recurrence, and complications.
• Erectile dysfunction evaluation and treatment: Testing and counseling identify causes and options such as medication, vacuum devices, or injections. Care is individualized to restore reliable erections and sexual confidence.
• Premature ejaculation treatment: Behavioral strategies, topical anesthetics, and medications are combined to improve control. Counseling addresses performance anxiety and relationship factors.

Scrotal and Penile Surgery

• Circumcision: The foreskin is removed to treat recurrent infections, scarring, or personal preference. Modern techniques focus on precision, comfort, and cosmetic outcome.
• Hydrocele repair: A fluid-filled sac around the testicle is removed or repaired through a small scrotal incision. The goal is to relieve swelling, heaviness, and discomfort.
• Spermatocele removal: A benign cyst arising from the epididymis is excised while preserving nearby structures. Surgery relieves lump-related discomfort and cosmetic concerns.
• Penile curvature correction: Sutures are placed to straighten curvature that interferes with function. This improves sexual function and reduces pain from Peyronie’s disease.
