Chirurgia del tumore della vescica: confronto tra TURBT convenzionale e resezione en-bloc con laser
Due modi per rimuovere un tumore alla vescica attraverso un cistoscopio. La tecnica laser en-bloc offre al patologo un campione migliore e rimuove un pericolo specifico, ma non è adatta a tutti i tumori e l'intervento è solo la prima parte del trattamento.
Biopsy of a Small Kidney Mass: When It Helps, and When It Does Not
A needle sample of a kidney lesion found by chance on a scan. It can spare an unnecessary operation — but roughly one in ten comes back with no answer at all, and a benign result is not the same as a final one.
A Positive Syphilis Screening Test That Isn’t Syphilis: The Biological False Positive
A reactive VDRL or RPR in someone with no risk and no symptoms is often not syphilis at all. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone explains what a biological false positive is, the one cause that matters more than the rest, and why a persistent one should never simply be dismissed.
Gonorrhea Treatment: What Actually Cures It, and What Happens Next
Gonorrhoea is curable with the right injection — but the treatment is only half of it. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone explains why the tablets sold over the counter no longer work, why your partner must be treated too, and the symptoms that mean the infection has spread.
Syphilis Treatment: How It Is Cured, and How You Know It Worked
Syphilis is cured by an injection that has not changed in seventy years. What confuses almost everyone is what happens to the blood test afterwards.

L'attesa dell'espulsione di un calcolo: i farmaci aiutano davvero?
La maggior parte dei piccoli calcoli ureterali viene espulsa spontaneamente e spesso viene associata una compressa per favorirne il passaggio. Il dottor Soarawee Weerasopone spiega cosa hanno realmente dimostrato i grandi studi clinici su quella compressa, l'effetto collaterale di cui gli uomini vengono raramente avvisati e — la parte che di solito manca — per quanto tempo è sicuro continuare ad aspettare.
Ureteric Stone Pain: What Helps, and the Symptoms That Cannot Wait
Ureteric colic is one of the most severe pains there is — and the dangerous version does not hurt more, it comes with a fever. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone explains what genuinely helps before you are seen, corrects the advice to drink your way through an attack, and sets out what needs an emergency department tonight.
Radiation Cystitis: Bleeding From the Bladder Years After Pelvic Radiotherapy
Blood in the urine long after radiotherapy is often radiation damage to the bladder — but it must not be assumed to be, because radiation itself raises the risk of a second cancer. What is checked first, and what actually helps.
Residual Urine: What the Number Means, and What It Cannot Tell You
A scan after you have emptied your bladder, measuring what is left. Useful — but it varies hugely between visits, a single reading should not decide anything, and it never explains why the bladder is not emptying.
Potassium Citrate for Kidney Stones: What It Can and Cannot Do
Patients often hope a tablet will make a kidney stone disappear. Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone, urologist at Bangkok Hospital, explains what potassium citrate genuinely does — dissolving one stone type, preventing another — and where its limits lie.
