UROLOGY
Care for the urinary system in men and women — kidney stones, bladder problems, incontinence, prostate conditions and men's reproductive health.
Common problems people don't like to mention
Urology covers the organs that make and pass urine — kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra — as well as the male reproductive organs.
These conditions are extremely common, and they affect women as much as men — recurrent urine infections, bladder control problems and pelvic floor issues are all urology. But they’re also the sort of thing people put up with for years rather than bring up. They shouldn’t: most are very treatable, and some, like blood in the urine or prostate changes, are important to check early.
At Putra Medical Centre, urology combines medication, minimally invasive procedures and surgery, working with nephrology, oncology, internal medicine and radiology on complex cases. Consultations are private, and nothing you raise will surprise us.
What we help with
These are common problems, and none of them will surprise us. Start with whatever's bothering you.
Severe pain in your side or back
Often a kidney stone.
Burning or frequent urination
Urine infections, including recurring ones.
Blood in your urine
Always worth getting checked promptly.
Leaking, or a sudden urgent need to go
Incontinence and overactive bladder, both very treatable.
Trouble passing urine, or going often at night
Common with prostate enlargement in men.
Prostate check
Screening and PSA testing.
Men's reproductive health
Erectile problems, fertility and testicular concerns.
Women's urinary problems
Stress incontinence, recurrent UTIs and pelvic floor issues.
What we can do about it
Our urology care falls into six areas. Pick the one that matches your situation.
Stones, infections and blockages in the system that makes and carries urine.
What this includes
- Kidney stones
- Urinary tract infections
- Obstructive uropathy
- Blood in urine (haematuria)
- Kidney tumours
Early treatment prevents infection spreading and protects the kidneys from lasting damage.
Control, urgency and infection — the problems people put up with for longest.
What this includes
- Overactive bladder
- Urinary incontinence
- Bladder infections
- Bladder stones
- Bladder cancer
Restores urinary control and confidence — one of the most life-changing things we treat.
The gland that quietly makes life difficult for a lot of men over fifty.
What this includes
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
- Prostatitis (prostate inflammation)
- Prostate enlargement
- PSA testing and prostate cancer screening
Improves urinary flow, reduces infection risk, and supports early cancer detection.
Medical conditions with real treatments — not things to simply live with.
What this includes
- Erectile dysfunction
- Male infertility assessment
- Testicular conditions
- Varicocele
- Testicular infections
Improves reproductive health and quality of life.
Urology is not a men-only specialty — a great deal of what we treat affects women.
What this includes
- Stress urinary incontinence
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Pelvic floor disorders
Restores comfort and daily confidence, and stops infections coming back.
Checking — and where needed sampling — anything that looks abnormal.
What this includes
- Prostate assessment and biopsy
- Kidney abnormalities
- Bladder abnormalities
- Cystoscopy (camera examination of the bladder)
Early detection significantly improves survival outcomes.
Minimally invasive by preference
Modern urology avoids open surgery wherever it can. These are the techniques we use most.
Endoscopic
Through the body's own urinary passages, using a small camera.
- No external incisions
- Faster healing
- Includes cystoscopy to examine the bladder
Our default approach wherever it's suitable.
Laser prostate surgery
For an enlarged prostate.
- Improves urinary flow
- Minimal bleeding
Often a same-week recovery.
Lithotripsy (shock wave)
For kidney stones.
- Breaks stones up using sound waves
- Performed from outside the body
- Avoids open surgery entirely
Non-invasive — nothing enters the body at all.
Laparoscopic (keyhole)
For kidney and prostate procedures.
- Small incisions
- Less pain after surgery
- Shorter hospital stay
Used where endoscopic access isn't possible.
Robotic-assisted Coming soon
For complex prostate and kidney procedures.
- Greater surgical accuracy
- Improved outcomes in complex cases
Planned as part of the PMC Alor Setar expansion.
