Everything You Need to Know About Urologists

Dr Devang Desai

Sometimes it can be challenging to keep up with hospital visits, specialist appointments, and tests. But you should never put off a visit to the Urologist. These professionals are trained and specialise in treating certain conditions like prostate cancer, urinary stones and prostate enlargement.

This article will discuss why it is beneficial to seek advice from a Urologist.

Who Is a Urologist?

A Urologist is a doctor who specialises in the urinary health of men, women and children along with sexual health of men. Urologists keep you healthy by dealing with problems such as prostate enlargement, prostatitis, and erectile dysfunction to name a few.

Urologists diagnose, treat, and manage diseases of the urinary tract. They are physicians who treat conditions such as kidney stones, bladder stones, kidney infections, prostate cancer, bladder dysfunction, and other problems with the urinary system.

Do I Have a Urological Concern?

There are some severe urological concerns, after all. If you have any of the following symptoms, an urgent visit to your urologist is recommended:

  • Blood in the urine or semen
  • Frequency or difficulty in passing urine
  • Loss of bladder control
  • Urinary stones
  • Rise in PSA
  • Erectile dysfunction

A urologist can help diagnose the problem and find the right solution for you. Urological problems can be physical and mental, so visit your urologist today!

Why Choose a Urologist for Treatment?

If you’re considering seeing a Urologist for treatment, here are some reasons why it may just be the best course of action for you.

Urologists have specialised training in male reproductive system problems, including erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer. They also have expertise in minimally invasive treatments, such as laparoscopic surgery and laser therapy.

In addition to handling surgical procedures without incisions, urologists offer advanced imaging services to rule out various cancers such as kidney, bladder and prostate cancer.

Because urologists are experts in minimally invasive procedures, it’s not surprising that they are very skilled at robotic prostate cancer surgery.

When Should You See a Urologist?

Here are some great reasons when you should see your urologist:

Prostate Cancer: Prostate cancer is very prevalent in Australia. It may not give any symptoms till it spreads. But some things can be done to prevent or slow down this spread. So, seeking medical consultation for prostate cancer can help you with your cancer treatment!

Persistent Pain in Testis: If you have persistent pain in your testicles, you may want to see a urologist. Another possible reason for this visit is that you or your partner has noticed a hard lump or swelling in your testicles.

Consistent UTI Infection: Other symptoms that indicate the need for a diagnosis from the urologist are persistent urinary infections, cystitis, and recurrent UTIs. For men who experience these symptoms, it helps to know if their condition is temporary or needs more care.

Any Other Medical Issues: If you have issues with your bladder, penis, testicles, prostate gland, or other structures that have to do with urination, you must see a urologist. Seeing a Urologist can help determine the root of the problem and what steps to fix it.

Kidney Stones: The next time you go to the Urologist, ask your doctor if you have a history of kidney stones. This simple test can save your life or that of a loved one.

Bladder Dysfunction: Having problems with your bladder is usually not serious, but it can become so if you do not address the problem early. Read about these problems, and know what you can do to prevent them or treat them before they become more serious.

Conclusion

When choosing a Urologist, one needs to choose a Urologist that they are comfortable with and who has relevant expertise in treating that condition. If you cause delay in seeking advice, it can harm your health in the long run.
