Urological health experts emphasize early diagnosis of bladder cancer and kidney issues

Medical specialists highlight the importance of urological health and the necessity of early diagnosis for conditions such as bladder cancer and kidney issues.

In Mauritius, urological services are available through various private hospitals and medical centres. Specialists like Dr. Balbir Verma at C-Care offer advanced treatments including endourology, kidney transplantation, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic-assisted procedures for conditions such as kidney stones and urological cancers.

Medical experts, including Dr. Ankur Bhatnagar of Sarvodaya Hospital, warn that men over 55 should not ignore persistent urinary symptoms. A key warning sign of urinary bladder cancer is painless haematuria (blood in the urine), which can appear pink, red, or cola-coloured. Because bleeding can be intermittent, the absence of visible blood may lead patients to believe a problem has resolved. Other symptoms that require medical evaluation include frequent urination, sudden urgency, burning sensations, or pelvic pressure, as these can often be mistaken for routine infections or prostate issues.
