Urology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases and disorders of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, as well as the male reproductive system.
Urologists treat a wide range of conditions, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, prostate issues (such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, and prostate cancer), bladder problems (like overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, and bladder cancer), erectile dysfunction, male infertility, and urological cancers (bladder, kidney, prostate, and testicular cancer).
You should see a urologist if you experience persistent urinary tract infections, blood in your urine, severe pain in your lower back or side, difficulty urinating, pain during urination, frequent urination (especially at night), erectile dysfunction, or concerns about male infertility.
During your first visit, the urologist will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms and concerns, perform a physical examination, and possibly order diagnostic tests such as urine tests, blood tests, or imaging studies. They will then discuss potential treatment options and next steps with you.
Urologists use various diagnostic tests, including urine and blood tests, imaging tests (like ultrasound, MRI, and CT scans), cystoscopy (which involves examining the bladder and urethra with a camera), and biopsies (tissue sampling for diagnosis).
Treatment options depend on the specific condition and may include medications (such as antibiotics or hormone therapy), lifestyle changes (like diet, exercise, and fluid intake adjustments), minimally invasive procedures (such as endoscopic surgeries), robotic-assisted surgery, traditional open surgery, and radiation or chemotherapy for cancer.
Many urological procedures are minimally invasive, designed to minimize discomfort and reduce recovery time. Your urologist will discuss any potential pain or discomfort with you and provide options for pain management
Yes, certain lifestyle changes can significantly improve urological health. These include staying hydrated, maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, practicing safe sex, and managing stress.
Prostate cancer screening recommendations vary based on age and risk factors. Generally, men should discuss screening with their healthcare provider starting at age 50, or earlier if they have a family history of prostate cancer or other risk factors.
Yes, urologists treat both men and women. While some conditions are specific to men, such as prostate issues, many urological conditions, like UTIs, bladder issues, and kidney stones, affect both genders.
