I am from Kulti near Asansol. My mother suffered from urinary problems for seven years after undergoing radiation therapy. Dr. Sandeep diagnosed her with a urethral stricture and performed urethroplasty surgery. She is doing well now and passes urine without any problem. During and after surgery, we could contact him easily and he responded immediately. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you experience persistent difficulty starting or stopping urine, pain or burning during urination, blood in the urine, frequent nighttime urination or sudden inability to urinate, schedule a consultation. Don’t wait for symptoms to worsen.
Yes. We offer laser lithotripsy and mini‑PCNL procedures to break and remove stones with minimal discomfort and quick recovery. These methods are suitable for most stones and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Signs include a weak or interrupted stream, difficulty starting urination, frequent urination (especially at night), dribbling at the end and a feeling that the bladder isn’t empty. Treatments range from medications like alpha blockers and 5‑alpha reductase inhibitors to minimally invasive laser procedures and robotic surgery for larger prostates.
Diagnosis involves a detailed history, bladder diary, pelvic exam, urine tests and sometimes urodynamic studies or ultrasound. Management may include pelvic floor exercises, bladder training, medications, hormone therapy or sling surgery, depending on the type of incontinence.
Many strictures can be treated with dilation or internal urethrotomy. Severe or long strictures may require open urethroplasty. We use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible and offer reconstructive options when necessary.
Treatments include lifestyle changes (exercise, diet, stress reduction), counselling, oral medications (PDE5 inhibitors), hormone therapy, vacuum devices, injections and implants. Infertility may require varicocele repair or assisted reproductive techniques in collaboration with fertility specialists.
Preparation includes blood and urine tests, imaging (CT or ultrasound), stopping certain medications (e.g., blood thinners), and fasting the night before surgery. Arrange for someone to accompany you home and follow all preoperative instructions provided by your surgeon.
We utilize high‑resolution ultrasound, CT and MRI scans, urodynamic studies to assess bladder function, and flexible endoscopy to view the urethra and bladder. These tools help us provide accurate diagnoses and tailor treatment.
Yes. Teleconsultations allow you to discuss symptoms, share test reports and receive advice without travelling. We will let you know if an in‑person visit is needed for further assessment or procedures.
Drink at least 2–3 litres of water daily, limit salt, animal protein and sugary drinks, eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, maintain a healthy weight and practise safe sex. For women, pelvic floor exercises and addressing constipation can help prevent infections and incontinence.
