Understand your Urology Treatment treatment options

Common questions patients ask before booking with Prof. Dr. Somboon Leungwattanakij. If your situation is different, share the details in the form below and our advisors will tailor the next steps.

When should you see a specialist?

If you have persistent symptoms that affect your daily life, a recurring condition that doesn't improve with primary care, or a recent diagnosis that needs expert evaluation, it's time to see a specialist. Early consultation usually leads to less invasive treatment options and faster recovery.

What does a typical first consultation involve?

Your first consultation is a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history and existing reports. The doctor may order targeted scans or labs to confirm the diagnosis, then walk you through both non-surgical and surgical options with realistic outcomes for each.

Are non-surgical treatments available?

In many cases, yes. Modern medicine offers a wide spectrum of conservative therapies - medication, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, image-guided injections and minimally invasive procedures - that can resolve or significantly improve a condition before surgery is considered.

What about minimally invasive surgery?

When surgery is the right call, minimally invasive techniques (keyhole, endoscopic, robotic-assisted) typically mean smaller incisions, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays and faster return to normal activity than traditional open surgery - with comparable or better outcomes.

From first message to full recovery

Every patient gets the same six step roadmap so you always know what happens next.

  1. Share symptoms and medical history

    Submit your appointment form with your symptoms, reports and any past treatment notes. Our advisor reviews everything before scheduling.

  2. Consult with Prof. Dr. Somboon Leungwattanakij

    Speak to the doctor over a secure video call (or in person if you prefer). Discuss your case in detail, share scans live and ask every question that matters to you.

  3. Get a personalised treatment recommendation

    Receive a written plan covering diagnosis, both surgical and non-surgical options, expected outcomes, recovery timelines and a transparent price estimate.

  4. Discuss surgery and recovery in depth

    If surgery is recommended, walk through the procedure, anaesthesia, hospital stay, rehab plan and risks with the doctor and a care coordinator until every concern is answered.

  5. On-ground treatment support

    Yapita Health handles airport pickup, hospital admission, translator support, hotel accommodation and a dedicated case manager available 24/7 throughout your stay.
