Prostate Cancer & Men's Health 🧬 | Dr. Himesh Gandhi | Men, Don’t Ignore These Symptoms 🚨🧔
In this episode of Brainwise with Dr. Pallvi Prasad, we sit down with Dr. Himesh Gandhi, a leading uro-oncologist and robotic surgeon from Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune. This in-depth conversation focuses on one of the most important but often overlooked aspects of men’s health — the prostate, urinary health, and the growing burden of urological cancers like prostate cancer, kidney cancer, and bladder cancer in Indian men.
Dr. Gandhi explains why men tend to ignore early symptoms related to urination or reproductive health, and how this delay can lead to late-stage cancer diagnoses. We also explore how modern screening methods such as PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) tests and PHI (Prostate Health Index) can help in early detection of prostate cancer — a condition that is becoming increasingly common after age 50.
From discussing lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, and diet to understanding how family history and genetics increase risk, Dr. Gandhi provides actionable information to help men and their families make informed health decisions. The episode also touches on emerging treatments including laser therapy, robotic surgeries, and AI-assisted precision medicine in urology.
This podcast is especially important for men over 40 and caregivers who want to understand early warning signs, preventive checkups, and modern treatment options available in India today. Dr. Gandhi also sheds light on real-life cases and common myths, urging Indian men to prioritize regular health checkups and open conversations about urological health.
Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, medical student, or simply health curious — this episode is your complete guide to men’s urological health in India.
