Blood in urine: causes and solutions

There are a couple of things that you might expect to see in the toilet bowl after nature calls, but blood is not one of them. When blood is in the urine, it is called haematuria, and it could be a sign of a serious issue somewhere along the urinary system, which is comprised of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. We spoke to a leading urologist about what blood in urine might signify, and what you should do.

EchoLaser for benign prostate enlargement: how does it work?

Benign prostatic enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a prevalent condition in men, especially as they age. The prostate, a small gland located below the bladder, encircles the urethra—the tube that carries urine out of the body. As the prostate enlarges, it can compress the urethra, leading to urinary difficulties such as a weak urine stream, trouble initiating urination, and frequent urination, particularly at night. While BPH is not cancerous, it can severely impact a man's quality of life by disrupting sleep, causing discomfort, and increasing the risk of urinary tract infections. Leading consultant urological surgeon, Mr. Wissam Abou-Chedid, provides insight into a cutting-edge treatment option: EchoLaser, a non-invasive and highly effective method for treating BPH.
