If you’re facing issues related to your kidneys, bladder, or urinary tract, it may be time to see a urologist. Urologists are medical specialists who diagnose and treat problems involving the urinary system in both men and women, and also deal with male reproductive health.
In this blog, we’ll explore the common problems treated by urologists and when you should consult one.
UTIs are one of the most common reasons people visit a urologist.
Symptoms include frequent urination, burning sensation, cloudy urine, and pelvic pain.
Urologists treat recurrent or severe UTIs with medications and lifestyle recommendations.
Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals that cause severe pain when passing through the urinary tract.
Urologists use treatments like shockwave lithotripsy or surgery to remove stones.
They also provide guidance to prevent future stone formation.
Men often visit urologists for prostate-related issues, such as:
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Enlarged prostate causing difficulty urinating.
Prostatitis: Inflammation of the prostate gland.
Prostate Cancer: Urologists perform screening and treatment.
Loss of bladder control can be embarrassing and uncomfortable.
Urologists identify the underlying cause and offer treatments like medication, pelvic floor therapy, or surgery.
Urologists also handle conditions like erectile dysfunction, infertility, and low testosterone.
Urologists are trained to diagnose and treat cancers affecting the bladder, kidneys, testicles, and prostate.
A urologist is the go-to doctor for any problem involving the urinary system or male reproductive health. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications and improve quality of life.
