Bladder Issues

Bladder problems can disrupt your daily life and impact your overall well-being — but they are common and treatable. At Sarvodya Hospital, under Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal, we offer comprehensive evaluation and advanced treatments for a wide range of bladder conditions in both men and women.Whether you’re experiencing frequent urination, urgency, leakage, or pelvic discomfort, we can help you find lasting relief.

What Are Bladder Issues?

Common Bladder Problems We Treat

  •  Overactive Bladder (OAB): A condition characterized by frequent urination, urgency, and urge incontinence, even when the bladder isn’t full.
  • Urinary Incontinence: Involuntary leakage of urine due to weakened pelvic floor muscles, nerve issues, or bladder overactivity.
  • Urinary Retention: The inability to fully empty the bladder, which may cause discomfort, frequent voiding, or infections.
  • Interstitial Cystitis (Bladder Pain Syndrome): A chronic condition causing bladder pressure, pain, and frequent urination, often mistaken for UTIs.
  • Neurogenic Bladder: Bladder dysfunction caused by neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s disease.
  •  Bladder Infections (UTIs): Recurring urinary tract infections that can lead to bladder irritation, burning with urination, and pelvic discomfort.
  •  Bladder Stones: Hard mineral deposits that form in the bladder, often due to incomplete bladder emptying.
Signs & Symptoms of Bladder Issues

If you are experiencing any of the following, you may have a bladder-related condition:

  • Frequent urination (more than 8 times per day)
  • Sudden, intense urge to urinate
  • Urine leakage or accidents
  • Pain or burning with urination
  • Difficulty starting or stopping urination
  • Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying

 What Causes Bladder Problems?

Bladder issues can result from various underlying causes, including:

  • Aging and menopause
  • Prostate enlargement (BPH) in men
  • Pregnancy and childbirth in women
  • Pelvic floor disorders
  • Nerve damage or neurological conditions
  • Bladder infections or inflammation
  • Bladder tumors (rare but serious)
  • Prior pelvic surgery or radiation
  • Certain medications and lifestyle factors

 

Bladder Diagnostic Testing

Dr Rajesh Aggarwal uses state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to evaluate your bladder health:

  • Urinalysis and urine culture – To check for infection or blood
  • Bladder ultrasound – To assess bladder emptying and structure
  • Cystoscopy – A minimally invasive procedure to view the bladder lining
  • Urodynamic testing – To evaluate bladder pressure, capacity, and function
  • Post-void residual measurement – To see how much urine remains after urination

These tests help us pinpoint the cause of your symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan.
