Most urological conditions are easy to treat early, but difficult to live with when addressed late. This Men’s Health Month, Botshilu’s urology team – Dr. Mamitele and Dr. Nzukuma – are putting the conditions men don’t talk about on the table.
Men’s Health Month: The Problems Men Ignore - Urologists Have the Answers
Prostate problems
Waking at night to urinate, weak stream, urgency. From your 40s these symptoms need assessment – and prostate cancer caught early is highly treatable.
Kidney stones
Sudden, severe flank pain that comes in waves. Stones that don’t pass need intervention before they damage the kidney.
Answer: We offer diagnosis with on-site imaging at our Radiology Department, and stone removal performed right here in Soshanguve, conveniently at your doorstep.
Foreskin conditions
Tightness, pain, recurring infections. Adult circumcision is a quick, definitive fix.
Answer: Same-day surgical solution
Blood in the urine
Never normal. Always investigate.
Answer: Urgent urological check-up, including prompt assessment, imaging, and specialist evaluation.
Bladder & urinary problems
Infections that keep returning, leaking, difficulty emptying.
Answer: Comprehensive assessment and treatment, with surgery if necessary.
