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.

A very fulfilling week with two back to back cases of robotic assisted radical prostatectomy for localised prostate cancer. Robotic surgery allows very quick post surgical recovery and shorter hospital stay. Kudos to the whole team 🤩

💙 Thank you for your kind words and appreciation.

On behalf of Dr Suriaraj Karppaya (Resident Consultant Urologist & Robotic Surgeon) and the entire care team, we sincerely thank you for placing your trust in us.

We are pleased to know that your robotic surgery procedure and overall care experience met your expectations. Your appreciation for our operating team, ICU team, physiologist, and ward staff is truly valued.

We wish you a smooth and healthy recovery ahead 🙏

Testicular cancer is more common in younger men! It's not commonly discussed but it can be a silent killer if missed. Get yourself checked if something doesn't feel right.

Early detection saves lives!

Let’s clear up another common myth!
‘𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙖 𝙐𝙏𝙄 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙖 𝙥𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙘 𝙩𝙤𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙩.’

The truth is: UTIs are caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract, and it’s very unlikely to get one from a toilet seat.

A lot of people still believe this, so don’t worry if you’ve heard it too.
I’m here to help you understand your health better — one myth at a time.
