Medical Treatment

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

• UroLift

A procedure for BPH that places small implants to improve urine flow without removing prostate tissue

• Alpha-Blockers

Medications that relax prostate and bladder muscles, easing symptoms in conditions like BPH

• 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors

Drugs that reduce DHT levels to treat BPH and male pattern baldness

• Combination Therapy

Using multiple treatments together to address a medical condition effectively

• Minimally Invasive Procedures

Less invasive surgeries with smaller incisions, promoting quicker recovery

STD Screening

(Sexually Transmitted Disease)

• HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)

Blood Test: The most common method is a blood test that looks for the presence of HIV antibodies or the virus itself

• Syphilis

Blood Test: A blood sample is taken to check for antibodies or the presence of the syphilis bacterium

• Gonorrhea and Chlamydia

Urine Test: A urine sample is collected and analyzed to detect the presence of these bacteria

• Herpes (HSV-1 and HSV-2)

Viral Culture: A swab is taken from a sore or blister and sent to a laboratory for viral culture

• HPV (Human Papillomavirus)

Pap Smear: For cervical cancer screening, a healthcare provider may perform a Pap smear to detect abnormal cells caused by high-risk HPV strains

Urethritis 

• Infectious Urethritis

         (caused by bacteria, usually sexually transmitted)

Chlamydia: Azithromycin or doxycycline are commonly used antibiotics

Gonorrhea: Ceftriaxone is usually the preferred antibiotic.

• Non-Infectious Urethritis

         (caused by irritants or trauma)

Avoiding Irritants: The first step in treating non-infectious urethritis is identifying and eliminating the irritant or trigger. This may include avoiding harsh soaps, perfumed products, or other potential irritants in the genital area

Anti-Inflammatory Medications: In some cases, non-infectious urethritis may cause inflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or prescription-strength anti-inflammatories may be recommended to reduce discomfort and inflammation

Hydration: Staying well-hydrated can help flush out irritants and promote healing

Urine PCR Test

• Infectious Diseases

Diagnosis and management of illnesses caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and fungi

• Genetic Testing

Analyzing DNA to identify genetic mutations or markers associated with diseases or hereditary conditions

• Cancer Detection

Identifying cancerous growths through various methods, including imaging, biopsies, and blood tests

• Transplant Monitoring

• Prenatal Screening

Testing during pregnancy to assess the health of both the developing fetus and the expectant mother, including genetic screening and monitoring for birth defects

Pre-Marital Screenings

• General Health Assessment

Checking blood pressure, heart rate, and overall physical health

• Blood Tests

Tests for blood type, anemia, and screening for infectious diseases like HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis

• Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) Screening

If necessary, individuals may receive vaccinations, such as the hepatitis B vaccine, to protect against certain diseases

"I want to express my gratitude for the excellent care I received during my STD testing. Thanks to the Gangnam St. Mary's Urology Clinic team's efforts, I feel confident that I am on the path to good health."

"During a business trip to Seoul, I had a sudden crazy amount of pain on my right side. After a trip to the E.R, I was diagnosed with a urinary stone and the doctors said that the fastest time I could get an operation was in a week!! With Dr. Sung, I was able to get the operation immediately and attend an important conference that, had I been absent, would have lost me a very important client."

"The doctor and the nursing staff are incredibly kind. The doctor explained things in detail and answered questions in an easy-to-understand manner, which I really appreciated. The nursing staff also provided excellent guidance and took care of patients' comfort, so I received great medical care. I felt more at ease in the hospital despite being unwell"
