What to Expect
1. Consultation
Your journey begins with a private, unhurried consultation with one of our urologists. We take a detailed history of your symptoms – whether it is pain while passing urine, blood in the urine, lower back pain, or difficulty in sexual function. We listen carefully to all your concerns and answer every question openly.
2. Diagnosis
We use advanced diagnostic tools available on-site at Ibn Sina Hospital, including ultrasound, CT scans, urine analysis, and specialised urodynamic studies. Our radiologists and pathologists work closely with the urology team to pinpoint the exact cause of your problem quickly and accurately.
3. Treatment
Your treatment is tailored to your specific condition. It may range from medication and lifestyle changes to minimally invasive procedures like lithotripsy (stone breaking), laser prostate surgery, or laparoscopic kidney surgery. For complex cases, we offer open reconstructive surgeries and pre-transplant evaluations – all performed with the highest standards of safety.
4. Follow-up
Recovery and long-term health are our priority. We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, check for stone recurrence, manage any ongoing issues, and adjust treatments as needed. Our team remains accessible to you even after you leave the hospital.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book an appointment with a urologist at Ibn Sina Hospital?
You can book an appointment by calling our reception, visiting the hospital in person, or using our online booking system. Our staff will help you schedule a convenient time with the urologist best suited to your condition.
Do you treat kidney stones without surgery?
Yes. Many small to medium-sized kidney and ureteric stones can be treated with non-surgical or minimally invasive methods, including medical therapy, shockwave lithotripsy, or laser ureteroscopy. Our urologists will recommend the least invasive option that is safe and effective for you.
Are female urologists available?
While our current urology team is male, we provide all our female patients with a female attendant or nurse chaperone during consultations and examinations. We also have female gynaecologists on staff who can assist with overlapping women’s health concerns. Please let us know your preference when booking.
Does my health insurance cover urology surgeries and procedures?
Yes. We accept most major health insurance policies and offer cashless treatment for eligible patients. Our billing team will help you with all the necessary paperwork. Please bring your insurance card and valid ID at the time of admission.
What should I do if I have a urological emergency – like sudden severe flank pain or inability to pass urine – after hours?
Ibn Sina Hospital has a 24/7 emergency department with a urologist on call at all times. If you experience sudden severe pain in your back or side, blood in your urine, or complete inability to urinate, come directly to the hospital or call our emergency helpline.
