Do you recognise the symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI)? The most common ones are frequent urges to urinate, shooting pain in your pelvis while passing urine, urinary incontinence, and blood in the urine.

Dr. Shashanka Dhanuka, MBBS, MS, MCh (Urology), MRCS (Edinburgh, UK), FAIS, is an award-winning urologist practising in Kolkata. Book an appointment with Dr. Dhanuka to consult about all kinds of urological issues like urinary tract infection treatment, urinary incontinence treatment, kidney stones, reproductive health, urologic cancers, ureteral injuries, and male urological issues (andrology).
People often hesitate to communicate urinary problems openly. They don’t seek medical assistance, believing it will cure on its own. Sometimes patients who are diabetic, have had childbirth or are menopausal tend to deem their urinary problems as normal. That is why it is very common for urological problems to go underdiagnosed till they reach a higher level of severity and get late urine infection treatment in Kolkata. This is why we must raise awareness of the importance of timely diagnosis for an effective cure. With early and proper detection, even serious urological problems such as bladder stones, kidney stones and localised prostate cancer can be fully cured with minimally invasive procedures.
Sometimes, limited access to quality diagnosis may delay the treatment of critical underlying urological disorders. That is why Dr. Dhanuka has associated with the top hospitals in Kolkata to guide his patients to the best urological treatment in Kolkata. Below are some of the key parameters covered in this particular domain:
• Ureteroscopy: A telescopic procedure to examine the urinary tract using a ureteroscope. Prescribed for diagnosing and treating kidney and ureteric stones.
• Cystoscopy: This procedure is performed using a cystoscope, most commonly for identifying any presence of cancerous growths in the bladder, blockage of the urinary tract, or source of bleeding in urine.
• Prostatic Biopsy: This procedure is performed to detect any cancerous growth in the prostate. Usually recommended following a preliminary PSA blood test or DRE. A tiny sample of tissue is removed from the prostate using a biopsy needle.
• TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor): This procedure is performed to detect any cancerous growth in the bladder and remove it, all in a single procedure.
We offer excellent treatment for all urological conditions, following the latest international protocols. Dr. Shashanka Dhanuka has very efficiently incorporated his ‘mass’ training from India and ‘class’ training from the NHS, UK, into his practice. His sharp clinical acumen and excellent communication skills make him stand apart from other specialists in his field.
