UroBrussels - Dr. Fadi Dalati

Erectile dysfunction is a common problem, but it is not always easy to discuss.

It can have different causes, including vascular disease, diabetes, hormonal changes, medication, and psychological factors. In some cases, it can also be an early indicator of cardiovascular disease.

The good news is that effective treatments are available, but the first step is to understand the underlying cause. I have published a new article on the UroBrussels blog covering the main causes of erectile dysfunction, the recommended medical evaluation, and the treatment options supported by current evidence.

The objective is to provide clear and reliable information and help patients approach this subject without unnecessary embarrassment.

"Burning, urgency, and repeat antibiotics, yet your urine culture comes back negative? You're not alone

When “recurrent UTI” keeps coming back… but the urine culture stays negative.

Burning. Urgency. Frequency. Pelvic discomfort.

The symptoms can feel exactly like a urinary tract infection, yet the urine culture is repeatedly negative.

For some women, this can lead to a frustrating cycle of empirical antibiotics, temporary improvement, recurrence, and growing uncertainty about what is actually causing the symptoms.

But the bladder does not function in isolation.

In persistent, culture-negative urinary symptoms, we need to look beyond infection and consider the whole pelvic ecosystem:

🔹 Vulvovaginal and urethral tissue health
🔹 Local hormonal changes
🔹 Pelvic floor muscle hypertonicity
🔹 Voiding dysfunction
🔹 Other structural or functional causes

A careful history and a focused physical examination can sometimes provide important diagnostic clues before moving toward invasive investigations.

The goal is not simply to prescribe another treatment, it is to understand why the symptoms are occurring in the first place.

I have written a new article exploring this approach, including the diagnostic pathway and non-antibiotic treatment options for women with persistent UTI-like symptoms and negative cultures.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in Belgium, with roughly 8,000 new cases diagnosed every year

Yet, despite how frequent it is, many men avoid discussing it until symptoms force the issue. The good news? When caught and managed appropriately, the 10-year survival rate in Belgium reaches an impressive 98%.

Because early-stage prostate cancer is often a "silent enemy" that rarely presents symptoms, awareness and timely checkups make all the difference.

In our latest article on Brussels, Let's Talk Urology!, we debunk 5 major myths surrounding prostate health:
💡 Only 8% of cases are genetic: age, ethnicity, and lifestyle habits play major roles.
🩺 Screening is simple and non-invasive: recommended in Belgium for men aged 50 to 74 (or starting at 40 with a family history)
📋 Treatment is personalized: a diagnosis does not automatically mean surgery; options like Active Surveillance safely monitor low-risk cases.

Taking charge of your health starts with open conversation and accurate information.

The "One-Size-Fits-All" Era of Prostate Care is Over. Here is How Urology Has Evolved.

🩺For decades, men dealing with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or an enlarged prostate faced a highly binary choice: manage daily symptoms with medications that might not work, or undergo traditional "scrape" surgery (TURP), which many feared due to the risk of side effects like retrograde ej*******on.

But modern urology has undergone a massive paradigm shift. Today, top specialists treat BPH with a "tailor-made" philosophy, treating each patient's prostate less like a generic medical issue and more like a custom-tailored suit based on prostate size, medical history, and personal lifestyle goals.

In a recent episode of Modern Cast, Dr. Fouad Khoury and Dr. Fadi Dalati break down this modern "menu of options" to show how treatment is customized for every individual:

💧 Rezum (Water V***r Therapy): A quick, 3-to-5 minute office procedure that uses sterile steam to trigger natural cell death, allowing the body to naturally reabsorb the obstructing tissue. Crucially, it boasts a 90%+ success rate in preserving sexual health and function.

🕸️ iTind: A temporary, basket-like device placed for just 5 to 7 days that gently reshapes the channel without burning or cutting tissue, making it an ideal non-surgical alternative for smaller prostates.

🍊 Laser Enucleation: For "giant" prostates exceeding 120g, this laser technique acts like "peeling an orange," separating the obstruction from the outer capsule to avoid invasive open surgery entirely.

🔴 Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE): An advanced option performed through the arteries (not the urethra) to safely block blood supply and shrink the gland—perfect for elderly patients or those on heavy blood thinners who cannot tolerate anesthesia.

Healthcare is no longer about accepting a standard treatment just because of tradition. It is about selecting the precise technology that fits your anatomy and preserves your quality of life.
