Fortis launches four specialised clinics in Bengaluru to address sensitive health concerns
Bengaluru, March 11: Fortis Healthcare on Wednesday announced the launch of four specialised clinics across its hospital network in Bengaluru, aimed at addressing several sensitive and often under-discussed health issues.
The clinics – Man Clinic, Incontinence Clinic, Restorative Gynaecology Clinic, and Mobile Lithotripsy Services – were inaugurated by Dr. Sharan Prakash Patil, Minister for Medical Education, Government of Karnataka, in the presence of doctors, hospital leadership, staff and patients. Around 150 people attended the event.
According to the hospital group, the newly introduced services aim to provide focused and patient-centric care while encouraging people to seek treatment for conditions that are often neglected due to social stigma or lack of awareness.
The Man Clinic will focus on men’s health issues such as sexual wellness, prostate-related problems, infertility, hormonal imbalances and lifestyle-related conditions. The facility will provide multidisciplinary care with an emphasis on privacy and specialised treatment.
The Incontinence Clinic will cater to patients suffering from urinary or bowel incontinence across different age groups and genders. The clinic will combine expertise from urology, gynaecology and physiotherapy to offer advanced diagnostic and minimally invasive treatment options.
The Restorative Gynaecology Clinic will provide care for women facing intimate health concerns, functional issues and certain aesthetic gynaecological conditions, using evidence-based treatment approaches delivered with discretion.
The hospital group also introduced Mobile Lithotripsy Services, a minimally invasive technology designed to treat kidney stones more efficiently while reducing hospital stay and improving patient comfort.
Speaking at the inauguration, Patil said healthcare must evolve not only through technology but also by addressing sensitive health concerns with openness and dignity. Initiatives like these, he said, can help break social stigma and encourage people to seek timely medical consultation.
Dr. Mohan Keshavamurthy, Principal Director – Renal Sciences at Fortis Hospitals, Bengaluru, said conditions such as male sexual health issues, incontinence and kidney stones are more common than generally acknowledged, but many patients delay treatment due to hesitation in discussing them.
“Through these clinics, we hope to normalise conversations around such health concerns while offering advanced and minimally invasive treatment backed by multidisciplinary expertise,” he said.
Dr. Ananth Rao, Vice President and Business Head, Fortis Hospitals, Bengaluru, said the initiative strengthens the hospital group’s focus on specialised and patient-centric healthcare. He added that the clinics combine advanced medical technology with integrated clinical pathways designed to ensure patient privacy, comfort and dignity.
