Kidney stones can start small...but the pain? Definitely not. From sudden back pain to discomfort when passing urine, your body could be trying to tell you something.

Don’t ignore the signs. The earlier you catch it, the easier it is to treat.

If something feels off, get it checked. Your body always knows first.

Another urological milestone unlocked!

Performed the first Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate (HoLEP) in Sabah at Gleneagles Kota Kinabalu. A total 3 cases of varying prostate gland sizes successfully completed including a 120g prostate.

A big thank you to the legendary Professor Liu from Guangzhou for visiting and generously sharing his expertise, tips, and tricks on HoLEP.

Thanks to the industry partners for making this possible especially Pro Element team for bringing in the flagship 160W Potent Laser which is the first unit in Malaysia. Grateful to my team for their support and to our patients for their trust.

Bringing cutting-edge urological care care to Sabah has always been the goal.

Many men avoid vasectomy because of misinformation.

The truth? It’s safe, simple, and doesn’t affect masculinity or sexual performance.

Blood in your urine? Don’t ignore it.

Seeing blood in your urine can be a sign that something isn’t right, even if it happened once. This condition, known as hematuria, can be caused by infections, kidney stones, or other more serious conditions like cancer that need urgent medical attention.

The key is not to wait and see. Getting it checked early can make all the difference.

If you’ve experienced this or have concerns about your urinary health, it’s always best to speak to a doctor.

Most urinary tract infections require proper medical assessment and, in some cases, antibiotics. Relying on cranberry juice alone may delay effective treatment and allow symptoms to worsen.

If you have UTI symptoms, see a doctor early for an accurate diagnosis.

Not everyone is affected the same way, but reducing caffeine intake can help improve bladder symptoms for those who are sensitive to it. Identifying personal triggers is often an important step in managing bladder health.

Feeling tired, low drive, or not performing as usual? Your water intake might be part of the picture.

Dehydration can affect the body in several ways that may influence sexual performance. When the body is dehydrated, blood volume can decrease, potentially affecting circulation. While dehydration is not the only cause of sexual performance issues, it can be a contributing factor, especially when combined with stress or other health conditions.

If symptoms persist, it’s best to consult a doctor for proper assessment.

Honoured to share another major milestone in urological care at Gleneagles Kota Kinabalu Sabah.

We recently performed the Biobot MRI–Ultrasound fusion transperineal prostate biopsy, marking the first time this advanced technique has been carried out in Sabah using the Mona Lisa Robotic Prostate Biopsy System

This technology allows for greater precision in prostate cancer diagnosis, improved detection of clinically significant prostate cancers, and a lower risk of infection compared to conventional methods.

Grateful to the amazing theatre team, radiology colleagues, hospital leadership at Gleneagles KK and the Biobot technical team for their support.
