Eco laser for benign prostate enlargement: how does it work?

Benign prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition in men, particularly as they age. The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder, and it surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. When the prostate enlarges, it can put pressure on the urethra, causing urinary symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, a weak urine stream, and frequent trips to the bathroom, particularly at night. While BPH is not cancerous, it can significantly affect a man's quality of life. Leading consultant urological surgeon Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid explains how Eco-laser can be used to treat this condition.

The association between diet and endometriosis / adenomyosis

Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological condition affecting millions of women worldwide, characterised by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Research has increasingly focused on the role of diet in the development and management of endometriosis. Evidence suggests that a diet high in meat and refined foods is associated with an increased risk of endometriosis, whereas a plant-based diet may have protective effects. Renowned consultant women’s health expert and consultant gynaecologist Mr Mahantesh Karoshi explores the link between the diet and endometriosis/ adenomyosis.

What is free fluid in the pelvis?

The Pouch of Douglas, also known as the rectouterine pouch, is a small, triangular space located in the lower abdomen, behind the uterus and in front of the rectum. It's the lowest part of the peritoneal cavity, the lining of the abdominal cavity. The presence of fluid in this space can be a normal physiological occurrence or a sign of a pathological condition. Experienced women’s health expert and consultant gynaecologist, Mr Mahantesh Karoshi explains everything you need to know.

Retzius sparing prostatectomy: a quick guide

A Retzius-sparing prostatectomy is a surgical technique aimed at removing the prostate gland while preserving the Retzius space, a potential space between the bladder and the pelvic floor. This approach seeks to minimise damage to surrounding structures, potentially reducing postoperative complications such as urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. Distinguished consultant urological surgeon Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid discusses the surgery, including its potential benefits and the ideal candidate for the surgery.

Revolutionising fibroid treatment

Fibroids, noncancerous growths in the uterus, affect a significant number of women, often causing symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on the bladder or rectum. While surgical interventions like laparoscopic or robotic surgeries have been traditionally used to remove large fibroids, a newer and less invasive approach called radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is gaining attention for its effectiveness in treating fibroids while preserving the uterus. In his latest online article, Mr Mahantesh Karoshi gives us his insights.

Sonata radiofrequency ablation: Cooking up precision in fibroid treatment

Imagine a scenario where treating fibroids is likened to the art of cooking a jacket potato in a microwave. While the analogy may seem far-fetched at first glance, the onset of Sonata Radiofrequency Ablation brings this comparison to light, offering a fresh perspective on a medical procedure that is revolutionising fibroid treatment. In his latest online article, Mr Mahantesh Karoshi gives us his insights.
