The Urology department at Munir Hafeez Medical Center looks after diseases of the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra, and the male reproductive system. If you are dealing with kidney stones, repeated urinary infections, difficulty passing urine, blood in the urine, prostate trouble, or swelling of the scrotum (hydrocele), this is the department to visit. Many urinary problems start with mild symptoms and become serious when ignored, so getting checked early usually means simpler treatment. If you are unsure whether your symptoms need a specialist, read our guide on when to see a urologist.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have pain while urinating, blood in the urine, severe pain in the side or lower back (possible kidney stone), difficulty starting or stopping urine flow, or swelling in the scrotum, a urology consultation is the right step.
It depends on the stone’s size and position. Small stones may pass on their own with medication; larger ones are treated with lithotripsy or removed surgically using procedures such as cystolitholapaxy, lithotripsy, ureterolithotomy, or pyelolithotomy. Dr. Abdul Razzaq decides the approach after examining the patient.
It is a short examination in which a thin camera is passed through the urethra to look inside the bladder. It helps diagnose bladder tumours, stones, and causes of blood in the urine.
Treatment depends on the cause, such as azoospermia or oligospermia. The urologist examines the patient and advises tests first, then plans the treatment accordingly. The department also treats sexually transmitted diseases.
For most first consultations, no preparation is needed. For procedures such as cystoscopy or stone surgery, the doctor will give instructions at the time of booking.
Kidney stone treatment
Kidney stone treatment. Kidney and bladder stones are one of the most common reasons patients visit this department. Depending on the size and location of the stone, treatment may involve Lithotripsy by ESWL (breaking the stone with shock waves), Cystolitholapaxy (removing bladder stones through the urethra), Lithotripsy by Endoscopy (removing stones from the ureter), or Pyelolithotomy (removing stones from the kidney). The urologist examines each case and recommends the method that suits the patient’s condition.
Prostate and bladder procedures
Prostate and bladder procedures. For men with an enlarged prostate causing weak urine flow or repeated blockage, the department performs TUR-P (transurethral resection of the prostate). The department treats bladder tumours with TUR-BT (transurethral resection of bladder tumour). It can examine bladder growths directly with Cystoscopy — a thin camera examination of the inside of the bladder.
Urethral and other procedures
Urethral and other procedures. Narrowing of the urine passage (urethral stricture) is treated with internal optical urethrotomy, urethral dilatation, or meatotomy. The department also performs DJS (double-J stent) insertion and removal, orchiectomy, hydrocelectomy (hydrocele repair), and suprapubic cystostomy (temporary bladder drainage through the lower abdomen) when required.
Male infertility
Male infertility (difficulty in conceiving) because of oligospermia, azoospermia, and others is dealt with with the concerned treatment.
