Why Women Need Urologists Too
When most people hear the word “urologist,” they often think it’s a doctor just for men. But that’s not true at all! Urologists are doctors who treat both men and women for problems with the urinary system. This includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. For women, a urologist can be just as important as a gynecologist. In fact, many women deal with health issues that a urologist is trained to help with — and that’s where Lazare Urology comes in.
Let’s talk about why women need urologists too, and how seeing one can make a big difference in your health.
What Does a Urologist Do?
A urologist is a doctor who specializes in treating problems with the urinary tract (the body’s system for making and getting rid of urine) and the reproductive organs in men. For women, urologists focus mostly on urinary health. They can also work with gynecologists if your symptoms involve both the urinary and reproductive systems.
Some common things urologists treat in women include:
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
- Incontinence (leaking urine)
- Overactive Bladder
- Kidney Stones
- Interstitial Cystitis (painful bladder)
- Blood in the urine
- Bladder or kidney infections
Common Urology Problems in Women
1. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Most women will have at least one UTI in their lives. Some get them over and over again. If you’re having frequent UTIs, it’s not just bad luck — there could be an underlying issue. A urologist can help find the cause and create a plan to prevent them.
2. Incontinence (Leaking Urine)
Leaking urine when you sneeze, laugh, or exercise is more common than you think. It can happen after pregnancy or as you get older. It’s not something you just have to “live with.” A urologist can offer treatments like physical therapy, medications, or minor surgeries that can really help.
3. Overactive Bladder (OAB)
Do you feel like you need to pee all the time — even when your bladder isn’t full? That could be OAB. This condition makes it hard to enjoy your day without worrying about finding a bathroom. Lazare Urology helps patients with OAB every day using simple treatments that work.
4. Painful Bladder Syndrome (Interstitial Cystitis)
If you have ongoing pain or pressure in your bladder, but tests show no infection, you might have this condition. It’s frustrating, but a urologist can work with you to manage the pain and improve your quality of life.
Why Not Just See a Gynecologist?
Gynecologists are experts in women’s reproductive health — periods, pregnancy, and more. But when it comes to bladder and urinary issues, that’s a urologist’s job.
If you’re having problems peeing, pain in your lower belly, or UTIs that won’t go away, a urologist is the right specialist to see. Lazare Urology treats many women who were told nothing was wrong — until a urologist found the real issue.
