Video Consultations

Accessing expert urological care is now more convenient with video consultations at Sree Maatre Gastro & Urology Clinic. Dr. Nuthalapati Venkata Naga Praneeth, a Consultant Robotic & Reconstructive Urologist, Microscopic Andrologist and Renal Transplant Surgeon, provides online consultations for suitable urological, andrological and follow-up concerns. With 13 years of professional experience, he offers personalized medical guidance while helping patients understand their symptoms, diagnosis and available treatment options.

Convenient Urology Consultation From Home

Video consultation allows patients to connect with a specialist without always needing to travel to the clinic. It can be particularly useful for patients who live away from the clinic, require follow-up advice or need an initial discussion about their urological concerns.

Depending on the situation, online consultation may be useful for:

  • Discussing urinary symptoms
  • Reviewing previous medical reports and investigation results
  • Follow-up consultations after treatment or surgery
  • Discussing kidney stone or prostate-related concerns
  • Seeking guidance for male infertility and andrology concerns
  • Understanding treatment and surgical options
  • Obtaining advice regarding further evaluation

Personalized Medical Guidance

During a video consultation, Dr. Praneeth discusses the patient’s symptoms, medical history, previous treatments and available reports. Patients can share relevant medical documents or investigation results to support the consultation.

Based on the information available, he may provide medical guidance, recommend appropriate investigations or advise an in-person examination when necessary. This ensures that patients receive recommendations based on their individual clinical needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Follow-Up Urology Care

Video consultations can be particularly helpful for patients who have already undergone evaluation or treatment and require follow-up discussions. They can be used to review reports, discuss recovery, understand medication instructions and address ongoing concerns when an in-person examination is not required.

For patients who have undergone urological surgery, kidney stone treatment, prostate care or other procedures, follow-up requirements are determined according to their individual condition.

When an In-Person Visit May Be Needed

Online consultation may not be suitable for every urological concern. Some conditions require physical examination, imaging, laboratory investigations or urgent medical attention. If an in-person assessment is clinically necessary, patients will be advised to visit the clinic or an appropriate healthcare facility.

Video consultation should not delay emergency care when patients experience severe pain, significant bleeding, inability to pass urine or other urgent symptoms.

Sree Maatre Gastro & Urology Clinic combines specialist expertise with convenient digital access to healthcare. Dr. Praneeth’s areas of expertise include urology, robotic surgery, reconstructive urology, microscopic andrology and renal transplant surgery.

With a focus on evidence-based advice, clear communication and patient-centred care, video consultations provide a convenient way to discuss suitable urological and andrological concerns from the comfort of home.

Kidney Stone Treatment

Kidney stones are hard deposits that develop when minerals and salts in the urine become concentrated and form crystals. They can occur in the kidneys or urinary tract and may cause severe pain, urinary discomfort, nausea or blood in the urine. At Sree Maatre Gastro & Urology Clinic, Dr. Nuthalapati Venkata Naga Praneeth provides comprehensive kidney stone treatment based on the size, location, number and composition of the stones, along with the patient’s symptoms and overall health.

Understanding Kidney Stones

Small kidney stones may sometimes pass naturally with appropriate medical guidance, while larger or obstructing stones may require an active procedure. A detailed evaluation helps determine the most suitable approach. Symptoms that may indicate kidney stones include:

  • Severe pain in the side, back or lower abdomen
  • Pain or burning while urinating
  • Blood in the urine
  • Frequent or urgent urination
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Difficulty passing urine

Early consultation with a urologist can help identify stones and reduce the risk of complications.

Diagnosis & Evaluation

Kidney stone diagnosis may involve a review of symptoms and medical history along with appropriate investigations. Depending on the clinical situation, the evaluation may include urine tests, blood tests, ultrasound or other imaging studies. Understanding the stone’s size and location is important for planning effective treatment.

Advanced Kidney Stone Treatment

Dr. Praneeth offers medical and minimally invasive approaches according to individual requirements. Smaller stones may be managed with medication, hydration advice and observation when clinically appropriate. Stones that are unlikely to pass naturally may require procedures.

Treatment options may include:

  • Endoscopic stone removal: A minimally invasive approach to access and remove stones from the urinary tract.
  • Laser stone treatment: Laser technology may be used to break stones into smaller fragments for removal or passage.
  • PCNL: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy may be considered for larger or complex kidney stones, allowing direct access to the kidney through a small opening.
  • Other minimally invasive procedures: The appropriate technique is selected based on stone characteristics and patient factors.

Personalized Follow-Up & Prevention

Kidney stone treatment does not end after stone removal. Dr. Praneeth also emphasizes preventive care to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Patients may receive guidance regarding adequate fluid intake, dietary habits and follow-up evaluation based on their individual risk factors.

With expertise in urology, endoscopic procedures, laser stone treatment and minimally invasive surgery, Dr. Nuthalapati Venkata Naga Praneeth provides personalized kidney stone care focused on safe treatment, effective recovery and long-term urinary health.
