At Charak Hospital, our experienced urologists diagnose and treat all types of bladder disorders—from overactive bladder to interstitial cystitis and bladder stones. Advanced cystoscopy, imaging, and targeted medications restore normal function and quality of life.
The most common bladder disorder, affecting 15-30% of adults.
Sudden, involuntary urge to urinate (urgency), frequent urination (>8 times daily), nocturia (awakening 2+ times nightly to urinate), and urge incontinence (leakage). Symptoms interfere with daily activities and sleep quality.
History and urinalysis exclude UTI. Urodynamic testing identifies involuntary detrusor contractions characteristic of OAB. Identifies other causes like outlet obstruction or neurogenic patterns.
Behavioral modification (timed voiding, fluid restriction), anticholinergic medications (oxybutynin, tolterodine), mirabegron (beta-3 agonist), and botulinum toxin injection for refractory cases. 50-70% symptom improvement expected.
Chronic pain condition without apparent infection.
Chronic bladder and pelvic pain/pressure with frequency and urgency. Mimics UTI but urinalysis and culture negative for bacteria. Pain worsens with menstrual cycle, sexual activity, and prolonged sitting.
Clinical diagnosis confirmed by cystoscopy showing petechial hemorrhages (glomerulations) or Hunner ulcers. Ruling out infection essential. Symptom severity score guides treatment intensity.
Multimodal approach: dietary modification (avoid irritants), antihistamines (hydroxyzine), pentosan polysulfate, tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline), intravesical therapies (heparin, lidocaine), botulinum toxin, and hydrodistension cystoscopy. Significant improvement in 50-70% of patients with persistent therapy.
Mineral deposits forming in the bladder, often associated with obstruction.
Symptoms: hematuria, dysuria, frequency, suprapubic pain, interrupted urinary stream. Causes: urinary retention (BPH, stricture, neurogenic bladder), chronic UTI, bladder foreign bodies (stents, catheters), or urinary stones migrating from kidney.
Imaging (ultrasound, CT, X-ray for radiopaque stones) visualizes stones. Cystoscopy directly visualizes stone burden and bladder pathology. Stone analysis determines composition (calcium oxalate, uric acid, etc.).
Cystoscopy with mechanical removal or holmium laser lithotripsy fragments large stones into removable pieces. Treating underlying obstruction or UTI prevents recurrence. Small stones may pass spontaneously with adequate hydration.
Loss of normal bladder control from neurological disease.
Spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, Parkinson's disease, diabetic neuropathy, and cauda equina syndrome. Severity and pattern depend on level and type of neurological lesion.
Spastic/hyperreflexic: involuntary contractions causing urgency/incontinence. Flaccid/areflexic: retention with overflow incontinence. Mixed patterns occur. Diagnosis confirmed by urodynamic studies.
Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) gold standard for retention. Anticholinergics reduce detrusor contractions. Botulinum toxin injection increases capacity. Indwelling catheter last resort due to infection/complication risk. Regular imaging assesses upper urinary tract.
Inflammation of bladder wall, often from infection but also from non-infectious causes.
Severe bladder inflammation with hematuria, dysuria, and urgency. Caused by chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide), radiation, or viral infection (adenovirus). Treated with supportive care, hydration, and antibiotics if infected.
Develops weeks to years after pelvic radiation. Fibrosis reduces bladder capacity causing frequency and urgency. Treated with hyperbaric oxygen, corticosteroid instillations, botulinum toxin, and augmentation cystoplasty in severe cases.
