This speciality deals with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as urinary tract infections, bladder and kidney stones, incontinence, infertility, prostate disorders and cancers involving the urinary and reproductive systems.
A urologist doctor is a medical specialist who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of urological diseases and disorders. They undergo extensive training to understand the complexities of the urinary tract system and its associated organs including the kidneys, bladder, urethra, prostate gland and male reproductive organs. Urologists work with patients of all ages, both men and women. They also help with infertility issues or guide on birth control options.
By staying up-to-date on research, technology and innovations in the field of urology, urologist doctors help improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
You should consult a urologist if you have any symptoms or signs related to your urinary tract system or male reproductive system.
Several signs and symptoms should prompt you to consult a urologist.
These include:
Urologist doctors treat a wide range of medical conditions related to the urinary tract system and male reproductive organs.
Some of these conditions include:
Prostate cancer: Urologists are skilled in diagnosing and treating prostate cancer. They may use a variety of surgical and non-surgical interventions, including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy. Bladder cancer: Urologists use various techniques such as robotic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and bladder removal to treat bladder cancer. Infertility: Urologists help couples with fertility issues by performing surgeries like vasectomy reversals or varicocele repair. Urinary tract infections: UTIs can be treated with antibiotics and other medication prescribed by urologists. Erectile dysfunction: A urologist or sexologist doctor can diagnose and treat ED through medications or other methods such as penile implants or injections. Kidney stones: Urologist doctors can remove kidney stones through shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy.Urologists also perform routine check-ups for men as they age to assess their prostate health.
Urologists are doctors who perform both surgical and non-surgical procedures related to the urinary tract system and male reproductive organs. Some common procedures include:
Cystoscopy: A procedure where a urologist looks inside the bladder using a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached to it. Lithotripsy: A non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to break up kidney stones into smaller pieces that can be passed through urine. Vasectomy: A permanent male sterilization technique that involves cutting or blocking the vas deferens, thus preventing the sperm from being ejaculated during sexual intercourse. Prostatectomy: A surgical procedure in which the prostate gland is removed, often for the treatment of prostate cancer. Ureteroscopy: A procedure in which a urologist inserts a small scope through the urethra and bladder and into the ureter to remove kidney stones or other obstructions.If you experience any symptoms related to the urinary tract or reproductive health issues, consulting with a urologist is the first step towards proper diagnosis and treatment. You can consult a urologist by booking an appointment at a hospital or clinic that offers urology services.
During your first visit, the urologist will ask you questions about your medical history and symptoms. They may also perform a physical examination and recommend further tests such as blood tests, urine tests or imaging tests to diagnose your condition.
Urologists play an essential role in healthcare by diagnosing and treating medical conditions related to the urinary tract system and male reproductive organs. They work closely with other specialities such as oncologists, gynaecologists, sexologists and paediatricians to provide comprehensive care to patients.
Urologists use various techniques and procedures to diagnose and treat conditions while ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients. Urologists also help improve male sexual health by offering treatments for ED, infertility and other sexual problems. Their contribution to healthcare ensures that men and women can lead healthy and fulfilling lives free from urological conditions and sexual health problems.
If you experience any symptoms related to these systems, it is essential to consult a urologist promptly. Apollo 24/7 offers telemedicine services for urology consultations, so accessing the best sexologists and urologists in India has never been easier.
Urological conditions can include bladder infections, urinary incontinence, kidney stones, prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction.
A good way to find a reliable urologist is to ask your general physician or research online reviews of doctors in your area. You can access many experienced urologist doctors in India through the Apollo 24|7 app and website.
While both specialities deal with issues related to sexual health, sexologists typically focus more on psychological aspects related to sexual health and provide counselling while urologists focus more on physical causes and treatments related to the urinary tract system.
Yes, women can see a urologist for urinary tract infections (UTIs) as they are common in both men and women.
During a prostate exam with a urologist, the doctor will check the size and consistency of the prostate gland by inserting a gloved and lubricated finger into the rectum.
Yes, certain urological issues such as varicoceles (enlarged veins in the scrotum) can impact male fertility.
Non-surgical treatments for erectile dysfunction can include oral medications, vacuum pump therapy and penile injections.
The frequency of prostate cancer screening should be discussed with your doctor but typically men should begin screenings at age 50 if they have no family history of the disease or at age 45 if they have a family history.
In some cases, lifestyle changes such as dietary adjustments or pelvic floor exercises can improve urological symptoms without the need for medication or surgery.
As with any medical procedure, there can be risks and potential side effects to urological procedures which should be discussed with your doctor before treatment.
