Overview
The Kapurbawdi junction on Ghodbunder Road sits at the heart of Thane's most rapidly urbanising corridor.Read moreShow less
A belt of high-rise complexes, IT parks, and corporate residential developments stretching from Majiwada through Manpada to Hiranandani Estate. The men who live and work along this corridor are predominantly working professionals in their 40s, 50s, and 60s — precisely the demographic most affected by benign prostatic hyperplasia. Mercurrey Hospital at the High Street Mall junction in Samata Nagar, Kapurbawdi is ideally positioned to serve this community. HRG Urology at this location brings Dr. Harshawardhan Godbole's consultant-grade BPH experience — including advanced HoLEP laser surgery — directly to the Ghodbunder Road corridor, without requiring patients to navigate into Thane West or central Thane for specialist prostate care.
What to know
Why Ghodbunder Road Professionals Present Differently
Corporate professionals along the Ghodbunder Road belt typically delay seeking BPH treatment longer than average.Read moreShow less
Demanding work schedules, a reluctance to discuss urological symptoms, and the assumption that nocturia and weak urine stream are simply signs of stress or ageing all contribute to delayed presentation. By the time many of these men attend HRG Urology at Mercurrey Hospital, they have been managing symptoms for two or more years, and their IPSS scores often fall in the moderate-to-severe range. Consequently, medical therapy alone may no longer be sufficient — and early assessment prevents the bladder decompensation that results from years of poorly managed outflow obstruction.
Dr. Harshawardhan Godbole MS, MCh, FRCS — whose clinical leadership role as MDT Lead at North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust gives him experience managing complex urological cases within a multidisciplinary team — assesses each patient at Mercurrey Hospital with this context in mind. The IPSS questionnaire, uroflowmetry, and post-void residual scan together reveal not just the prostate's size but the bladder's current capacity to compensate.
Common BPH Cases Seen at Mercurrey Hospital, Kapurbawdi
The Ghodbunder Road patient profile produces specific patterns: men in their late 50s presenting with moderate-severe IPSS scores and significant nocturia, whose bladder ultrasound shows moderate residual urine despite a subjective sense of complete emptying.Read moreShow less
These patients often respond well to combination medical therapy — an alpha-blocker for immediate symptom relief combined with a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor to progressively reduce prostate volume — with surgical options reserved for those who plateau on medication.
HoLEP at Mercurrey Hospital — Day-Case Surgery for the Working Professional
For patients who require surgical intervention, HoLEP offers a recovery profile that suits the working professional: catheter removal typically at 24 hours, discharge on day two, and return to desk work within a week.Read moreShow less
Dr. Godbole's experience in HoLEP specifically benefits patients with larger prostates (over 80ml) for whom TURP carries greater bleeding risk — HoLEP's laser technique significantly reduces intraoperative blood loss regardless of prostate size.

Emergency Care Note
If you experience acute urinary retention — complete inability to pass urine — this is a urological emergency. Do not wait for a clinic appointment.

Questions
I work in Hiranandani Estate — can I get a BPH consultation at Mercurrey Hospital near Kapurbawdi during lunch or after work?
Appointment timing at HRG Urology Mercurrey Hospital can be arranged around your working schedule — call +91 88280 71522 to confirm available slots. The clinic is 10–15 minutes from Hiranandani Estate by road, making a lunchtime or post-work appointment entirely practical. Consultations typically take 30–45 minutes for an initial BPH assessment.
Is Mercurrey Hospital accessible from Brahmand and Owale for prostate appointments?
Yes. Mercurrey Hospital at Kapurbawdi junction is accessible from Brahmand via the Brahmand bridge and Ghodbunder Road — approximately 20 minutes by road. From Owale, the route is similar. Auto-rickshaws from these areas know the Kapurbawdi High Street Mall junction. Call +91 88280 71522 and the team can confirm directions from your specific starting point.
What is the difference between HoLEP and TURP for prostate surgery, and which does Dr. Godbole recommend for larger prostates?
TURP (transurethral resection) shaves the prostate tissue using an electric loop — effective for prostates under 80ml. HoLEP (holmium laser enucleation) removes the entire obstructing adenoma using a laser and works for any prostate size, with less bleeding than TURP. For prostates over 80ml, Dr. Godbole generally recommends HoLEP because the laser technique eliminates the absorption risk and bleeding complications associated with large-volume TURP. The recommendation is individualised based on your prostate size on ultrasound.
Can I take my blood pressure medication on the day of a BPH consultation at Mercurrey Hospital?
Yes — continue all regular medications including antihypertensives, diabetes medications, and cardiac drugs before a BPH consultation unless specifically advised otherwise. Bring a complete medication list to the appointment, as several common medications — including antidepressants, antihistamines, and alpha-blockers used for blood pressure — interact with BPH assessment and treatment planning.
If I need emergency catheterisation for urinary retention near Majiwada, what should I do?
Acute urinary retention is a medical emergency — attend the nearest hospital emergency department immediately for catheterisation rather than calling the clinic. Once the catheter is in place and you are comfortable, call HRG Urology at +91 88280 71522 to arrange a planned BPH assessment appointment at Mercurrey Hospital. Planned catheter removal and BPH treatment follows once the acute episode has been managed.
