Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and sudden pain in the urinary system are common yet often distressing conditions that require prompt diagnosis and effective treatment. Dr. Marneni Steve Richards, an experienced Consultant Urologist with over 13 years in the field, offers specialized care for a wide range of urinary infections and acute urological emergencies.
Urinary Tract Infections can affect the bladder, kidneys, ureters, or urethra, and symptoms often include frequent urination, burning sensation while passing urine, lower abdominal pain, cloudy urine, or fever. If left untreated, UTIs can progress to serious kidney infections or lead to complications, especially in people with diabetes, weakened immunity, or structural abnormalities in the urinary tract.
Dr. Richards conducts a thorough evaluation using urine tests, blood work, and imaging studies to identify the exact cause of infection and its severity. Treatment is customized based on the patient’s medical history and lab findings and usually includes antibiotics, hydration therapy, and lifestyle modifications. For recurrent UTIs, he offers advanced diagnostic investigations such as ultrasound, cystoscopy, and urine culture sensitivity to determine underlying causes and provide long-term solutions.
Sudden or acute pain in the urinary system is often caused by kidney or ureteric stones, urinary obstruction, bladder retention, or infections. Dr. Richards is highly experienced in managing such emergency cases. His approach includes quick pain relief, diagnostic imaging, and immediate interventions where necessary—such as catheter placement, ureteroscopy, or drainage procedures—to restore normal urine flow and prevent complications.
At Srikara Hospitals, Miyapur, patients receive prompt and compassionate care with access to state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Richards ensures that every patient experiencing acute urinary symptoms receives timely attention, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment to reduce discomfort and avoid long-term damage.
In addition to treating the current episode, Dr. Richards also educates patients on preventive measures—such as maintaining good hydration, proper hygiene, and addressing risk factors like diabetes or prostate issues. For women with recurrent infections, and elderly patients with urinary retention or catheter-related issues, he provides tailored treatment strategies.
If you’re facing frequent UTIs, burning during urination, or sudden pain in your back or abdomen, don’t ignore the signs. Early intervention by a specialist like Dr. Marneni Steve Richards can make all the difference in protecting your urinary health.
