Frequent urination or difficulty urinating;

Pain during urination;

Blood in the urine;
-
Pain in the kidney area;
-
Insomnia or discomfort due to frequent nighttime urination;
-
Erectile issues or prostate enlargement;
-
Urinary incontinence.
Most Common Urological Diseases
Kidney Stone Disease
The formation of stones in the kidneys often causes severe pain, discomfort, and urinary issues. Treatment depends on the size and location of the stone. Our clinic offers the most advanced endoscopic methods for breaking down stones in the urinary system:
-
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL);
-
Laser Lithotripsy.
Enlarged Prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia - BPH)
This condition primarily occurs in older men and causes frequent, painful urination. With the help of an expert urologist and modern medicinal or surgical methods, this disease is effectively treated.
Oncourology
At Bochorishvili Clinic, oncourological patients have access to a complete diagnostic process and surgical treatment performed according to modern standards. Notably, once a month, our clinic is visited by a world-class urologist-oncologist surgeon, a leading Israeli professor, David Kakiashvili. His international experience in Israel, Canada, and the USA ensures accurate diagnosis and treatment of complex cases.
Professor Kakiashvili’s consultation is especially important for patients requiring:
-
Precise diagnosis of onco-urological conditions;
-
Development of an individual treatment plan;
-
Treatment based on international standards.
Treatments include:
-
Open surgeries;
-
Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
These infections are frequently observed in women. Primary symptoms include:
-
Burning sensation during urination;
-
Frequent urination;
-
Abdominal pain.
Erectile Dysfunction
This is a condition where a man has difficulty maintaining an erection, which can be caused by both psychological and physical factors. Our specialists select integrated treatment methods, and with proper management, positive results are inevitable.
Urinary Incontinence
Incontinence can affect people of any age. Through modern methods developed by qualified urologists, this problem is easily solved via:
-
Physiotherapy;

Medication;

Surgical intervention (if necessary).
Pediatric Urology
Genitourinary pathologies are also common in children. They often manifest in various forms, such as:
-
Developmental issues of the urethra or kidneys;
