Chronic Prostatitis: Why Antibiotics Usually Are Not the Answer

방광 종양 수술: 전통적인 경요도 방광종양 절제술(TURBT)과 레이저 일괄 절제술(En-Bloc Resection)의 비교

내시경을 통해 방광 종양을 제거하는 두 가지 방법. 레이저 앙블록(en-bloc) 기법은 병리학자에게 더 나은 검체를 제공하고 특정한 위험 하나를 제거하지만, 모든 종양에 적합한 것은 아니며 수술은 치료의 첫 단계에 불과합니다.

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 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.

Waiting for a Stone to Pass: Does Medication Actually Help?

Most small ureteric stones pass by themselves, and a tablet is often added to help them along.

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.

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
