Kobi Stav is a urologist based in Heidelberg, VIC, at 163 Studley Road. His work is focused on conditions that affect the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. Day to day, that can mean anything from bothersome urinary symptoms to long term health issues that need steady follow up.
People often come in when they’re dealing with bladder and urine flow problems. This includes things like frequent or urgent urination, urinary incontinence, and bladder outlet obstruction. At times, symptoms can be easier to spot, like pain or burning. Other times, it’s more about changes that build up slowly, such as weak flow, leaking, or feeling like the bladder never fully empties.
Kobi also looks after a range of specific urology conditions. These can include urethral strictures and meatal stenosis, which can make it hard to pass urine normally. Infections are another common reason for visits. That might be a urinary tract infection (UTI), including UTIs in children, or follow up when bacteria shows up but there aren’t obvious symptoms, such as asymptomatic bacteriuria.
There are also conditions that are often picked up earlier in life. For example, he manages hypospadias and looks after cases involving an undescended testicle. Some patients may need support for congenital issues like a congenital giant megaureter or UPJ obstruction. Over time, these conditions can also affect kidney health, so chronic kidney disease can come into the picture too.
Some cases involve bladder discomfort that keeps coming back. Interstitial cystitis is one example, where symptoms can be hard to pin down and tend to flare. Other people have complex bladder or urinary problems linked to stress incontinence, or have ongoing needs after malnutrition issues. Kobi can also help with investigations and procedures, including endoscopy, when it’s needed to understand what’s going on.
If you’re unsure where you fit in, that’s normal. Urology symptoms can overlap, and it’s often the pattern of symptoms, history, and checks that guide the next step. Kobi Stav aims to keep care practical, clear, and focused on getting you comfortable and moving in the right direction.
