What does a urologist do?

A urologist is a medical doctor specializing in the urinary tract and reproductive system. They diagnose and treat conditions affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, and male reproductive organs (prostate, testes, penis).

What are some common conditions treated by urologists?

Common conditions include urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, prostate enlargement (BPH), erectile dysfunction (ED), urinary incontinence, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, and kidney cancer.

When should I see a urologist?

You should see a urologist if you experience blood in your urine, frequent or painful urination, difficulty urinating, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, suspected kidney stones, erectile dysfunction, or concerns about prostate health.

What should I expect during my first urologist appointment?

Expect to discuss your medical history, symptoms, and medications. A physical exam is likely, and depending on your symptoms, the urologist may order tests like a urine analysis, blood tests, or imaging scans (ultrasound, CT scan).

Are urological problems more common in men?

While some urological problems are specific to men (e.g., prostate issues, erectile dysfunction), women also experience urological conditions like UTIs, urinary incontinence, and kidney stones. Certain problems are just more *frequent* in men due to anatomical differences, hormonal differences, and prostate issues.

How it Works

Answer Some Questions
Patients start by providing detailed information about their symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. This initial assessment helps the urologist understand the potential urological issues.
Connect with a Clinician
The patient consults with a urologist who performs a thorough evaluation. This may include physical examinations, urine and blood tests, and diagnostic imaging such as ultrasounds or CT scans. In some cases, procedures like cystoscopy might be used to look inside the bladder and urethra.
Get a Treatment Plan and Medication
Based on the diagnosis, the urologist develops a personalized treatment plan. This could involve medications to treat infections or manage symptoms, lifestyle and dietary recommendations, or surgical interventions such as lithotripsy for kidney stones or prostate surgery.
Follow Up for 14 Days
Continuous monitoring and follow-ups are crucial. Patients have regular appointments to track their recovery, adjust treatments as needed, and ensure the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
