Department of Urology
Urology is a specialized branch of surgery that deals with diseases of the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as the male reproductive system. The Department of Urology at Ashok Hospital, Jaunpur is committed to providing advanced clinical care with a focus on accurate diagnosis, minimally invasive treatments, and comprehensive surgical expertise. We manage disorders of the kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, prostate gland, urethra, testis, and penis with a patient-centric approach.
What Are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones are hard, solid deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. They develop when urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals like calcium and uric acid to crystallize and stick together.
Key points:
Size varies: Can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a marble.
Symptoms include: Severe flank pain, blood in urine, nausea, vomiting, and painful urination.
Treatment at Ashok Hospital: Laser stone treatment, lithotripsy, and minimally invasive endoscopic procedures.
Prevention: Drinking plenty of water (8–10 glasses daily) is the best way to prevent kidney stones.

Laparoscopic urology is a minimally invasive surgical technique where small keyhole incisions are made instead of a large open incision. A camera and specialized instruments are used to perform the surgery. Benefits include:
Less post-operative pain
Shorter hospital stay
Faster recovery
Smaller scars
Reduced risk of infection
At Ashok Hospital, we offer laparoscopic treatment for diseases of the kidney, ureter, and bladder, including urological cancers and reconstructive procedures.
Stress urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine during activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise. It is commonly caused by weakening of pelvic floor muscles. At Ashok Hospital, we offer advanced treatment options such as TOT (Trans-Obturator Tape) and TVT (Tension-Free Vaginal Tape) procedures—minimally invasive surgeries that provide long-lasting relief with quick recovery.
Yes, kidney stones can recur. However, prevention is possible with:
Drinking adequate water (2.5–3 liters per day)
Reducing salt and animal protein intake
Limiting oxalate-rich foods (spinach, nuts, tea) if prone to calcium oxalate stones
Following dietary advice based on stone composition analysis
Our urology team provides personalized dietary and lifestyle guidance to help reduce the risk of recurrence.
Flexible cystoscopy is a diagnostic procedure where a thin, flexible scope is passed through the urethra to examine the bladder and urinary tract. It is performed in the OPD setting without the need for general anesthesia. Most patients experience only mild discomfort, and the procedure is well-tolerated with minimal recovery time.
