About Dr. Alireza Akhavan Rezayat, endourology fellow in Mashhad

After his urology residency, Dr. Akhavan Rezayat completed a fellowship in endourology, a field centred on endoscopic and minimally invasive surgery of the urinary tract: kidney and bladder endoscopy, endoscopic lithotripsy, laser and endoscopic prostate surgery and urethral stricture repair.

Hours until 22:00 at the Ahmadabad office and sessions at Iranian Hospital make access easy for working patients and residents of eastern Mashhad.

Services and surgeries

The table summarises the conditions Dr. Akhavan Rezayat 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 and kidney and bladder endoscopy

With thin, flexible endoscopes most kidney and ureteral stones are now treated without an incision: Dr. Akhavan Rezayat breaks ureteral stones through the urethra, destroys stones inside the kidney with kidney endoscopy and laser (RIRS), and uses PCNL for large stones. The same equipment is used to find the cause of blood in the urine and to examine the bladder (cystoscopy). The guides on complications of kidney stones and types of kidney stones are useful reading before the visit.

Laser and prostate surgery

When medication no longer controls the frequency, night-time urination and weak stream of an enlarged prostate, or retention and recurrent infection appear, it is time for surgery. Depending on prostate volume and the patient's condition, Dr. Akhavan Rezayat chooses between endoscopic surgery (TURP) and laser prostate surgery; laser methods bleed less and suit patients on blood thinners. Read the articles on when the prostate needs surgery and the guide to benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Urinary infection, urethral stricture and genital warts

Recurrent urinary infections usually have an underlying cause: a stone, a urethral stricture, incomplete bladder emptying or an enlarged prostate; proper treatment means finding and fixing that cause, not just repeating antibiotics. A urethral stricture is diagnosed by endoscopy and corrected endoscopically. Genital warts in men are treated and followed up at the office with cryotherapy and topical medication. The guides on urethral stricture and treating genital warts in men explain the details.

Booking a phone appointment with Dr. Akhavan Rezayat

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 "enlarged prostate") so the secretary can book the right slot.
2. Bring your recent tests and imaging (ultrasound or CT, urinalysis and culture, PSA 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.
