About Dr. Ali Ahanian, endourology fellow in Mashhad

After his urology residency, Dr. Ahanian completed a fellowship in endourology, a field centred on endoscopic and minimally invasive surgery of the urinary tract that treats most kidney and ureteral stones and many prostate and urethral problems without an open incision. His second field is male infertility: semen and hormone work-up, varicocele repair and collaboration with the Novin Infertility Clinic of Mashhad for couples who need assisted reproduction. Treatment of genital warts in men and of erectile and sexual dysfunction is also done at the office. The evening hours of the Kuhsangi office suit working patients.

Services and surgeries

The table summarises the conditions Dr. Ahanian treats and the methods used for each group. The final choice of treatment always follows an examination and a review of your tests and imaging.

Kidney stones: minimally invasive surgery instead of open surgery

An endourology fellowship means expertise in reaching the stone through the natural urinary passage or a single small opening: ureteral stones with ureteroscopic lithotripsy (TUL), stones inside the kidney with a flexible scope and laser (RIRS), and large stones with PCNL. Dr. Ahanian chooses the method from the size and position of the stone on CT, and most patients go home a day after the operation. The guides on complications of kidney stones and surgery for large kidney stones are useful reading before the visit.

Male infertility: the office and the infertility clinic working together

The work-up of the man in an infertile couple starts with a semen analysis and an examination. If a treatable cause such as varicocele or a hormonal disorder is found, treatment is done at the office; if the couple needs assisted reproduction, Dr. Ahanian follows the male side of treatment (improving sperm quality, sperm retrieval in azoospermia) at the Novin Infertility Clinic of Mashhad so that both partners are treated at the same time. The article on what azoospermia is and the male infertility treatment in Mashhad page have more detail.

Genital warts and erectile dysfunction: a confidential visit

Genital warts in men are treated with cryotherapy and topical medication, and a follow-up of several months matters to prevent recurrence. Erectile dysfunction is usually controlled with medication once blood sugar, lipids, blood pressure and hormones have been checked. Both visits are confidential. Read the guides on treating genital warts in men and what erectile dysfunction is.

Dr. Ahanian sees patients at more than one location so the journey is shorter. The days and hours below are the usual schedule; always book by phone before visiting.

Booking a phone appointment with Dr. Ahanian

Online booking is not available for this doctor; appointments are made only by calling the office. The steps are simple:

1. During working hours call the office closer to you and briefly state the reason for the visit (for example "kidney stone" or "infertility work-up") so the secretary can book the right slot.
2. Bring your recent tests and imaging (ultrasound or CT, urinalysis, semen analysis or hormone tests), your list of medicines and any referral letter; they shorten the time to a diagnosis.
3. For severe flank pain with fever, inability to pass urine or bleeding, go to the nearest hospital emergency department instead of waiting for an appointment.

Visit fee and insurance

Specialist visit fees follow the annual tariff of the Iranian Medical Council and may change each year; ask the office about the exact amount and whether basic insurance is accepted when you book. If you have supplementary insurance, keep the office's official invoice so you can claim the visit and treatment costs back.
