Female urology departments of Sahyadri hospitals are highly trained professionals who are experts in treating problems that are affected the urinary tract of females. This is basically a system of organs, tubes, and muscles such as kidneys. Urologists are also liable to treat problems related to the reproductive systems of both women and men. The common warning signs of urinary tract problems include:

• leaking urine
• urges to urinate frequently

This condition can cause problems related to the bladder. The overactive bladder where a woman feels strong urges to urinate frequently and this even happens when the bladder is not full. Overflow UI is another condition where the urine starts leaking from the bladder because it doesn’t entirely get emptied. The bladder treatment in Sahyadri hospitals may include medication, surgery, exercises to provide more power to muscles inside the pelvis, and implanted injections or devices.

The urology department of Sahyadri hospitals provides a wide range of choices in treatments, and the experts of this hospital allow patients to coordinate with their urologist to find the better solution. In most cases, surgery can be the best choice and in some cases, behavioral therapy or drugs can work better.

the kidney transplant department of Sahyadri hospitals offers the treatment for end-stage renal diseases which is the mechanical process of cleansing the waste product blood, peritoneal dialysis where the waste products from the body are removed with the help of infusing some chemical solution in the abdominal cavity and kidney transplantation is the last choice available if none of the above-mentioned treatment works on the patients. 

A patient reaches end-stage renal disease when their kidney stops working. As a result of this renal failure, the toxic waste inside the body starts accumulating, leading to other chronic conditions. In such case, the only resort patients can opt for is dialysis or kidney transplantation. The common causes of this disease are:

• High blood pressure
• Glomerulonephritis
• Chronic anatomical issue in the urinary tract
• Polycystic kidney disease

Kidney transplant can offer the patient to have a normal life because the transplanted kidney replaced the failing kidney. Life of these patients entirely depends on drugs. They take it throughout their life as it allows the new kidney inside their body to stay healthy. Some of the drugs can show some side effects as well so the professional of these hospitals keeps on checking with the patient at regular intervals so that the patient can live a hassle-free life. 

The specialist of the hospitals allows the patients to explain their will and accordingly they proceed with the procedures. Where some of the patients choose to have a transplant just after beginning dialysis while others consider it before starting the dialysis. In some cases, the patients who are under dialysis can already have severe health conditions such as any active infections or cancer which makes it impossible to conduct a kidney transplant. The doctors perform transplant accordingly.
