L'IRM dans la détection du cancer de la prostate : En tirez-vous des avantages ?

An elevated PSA does not automatically mean you need a prostate biopsy. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone, urologist at Bangkok Hospital, explains how MRI of the prostate helps distinguish aggressive cancer from harmless disease — and can spare many men an unnecessary needle biopsy.

Gonorrhée : symptômes, dépistage et traitement

Burning and discharge after a risky encounter — and the parts that get missed: a urine test does not check the throat or rectum, most infected women have no symptoms at all, and this is now a drug-resistant organism that has to be tested for rather than assumed.

Blood in the Urine You Cannot See: What Microscopic Haematuria Means

Red cells found on a health-check urine test. Most causes are harmless — but the reassurance that a real problem would be visible is wrong, and how far the investigation goes depends on your risk rather than on a single default scan.

Balanoposthite : Infection cutanée courante du pénis

A red, swollen, itchy glans and foreskin is one of the commonest reasons men come to a urology clinic — and one of the most treatable. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone explains what causes balanoposthitis, why diabetes matters, and when circumcision is worth considering.
