What Does A Urologist Do?

If you are having problems with your urinary tract, such as infections or difficulty urinating, then you may need to see a type of doctor called a urologist. A urologist deals with the following parts of the body:

• Kidneys
• Bladder
• Ureters
• Urethra

Problems with these body parts can be inconvenient, uncomfortable, and even worrisome. You know your body better than anyone. If things are not feeling right, you need to schedule an appointment with a urologist right away before the problem gets worse.

Urologists treat a variety of diseases, including:

• Frequent urinary tract infections
• Urinary incontinence
• Blood in the urine
• Enlarged prostate
• Interstitial cystitis
• Cancers of the bladder, kidneys, and prostate.
• Kidney stones
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Erectile dysfunction (ED)

So if you are having symptoms, such as trouble urinating, changes in urination, trouble getting an erection, pelvic pain, and infertility, a urologist may be able to help. Urologists treat both men and women, although women may see a gynecologist to deal with urinary issues, since they are closely related to the genitals and reproduction.

Urologists are all trained as surgeons, although they don’t have to perform surgery in their practice. Many specialize in one or more areas of urology, such as the following:

• Pediatric urology
• Urologic oncology
• Sexual medicine
• Male infertility
• Genitourinary reconstruction
• Minimally invasive surgery
• Kidney transplantation

If your urologist suspects an issue, they can do the following:

• Physical examination. This may include a rectal or pelvic exam.
• Lab work. A urologist can request lab work to understand your medical condition. This may include blood tests, semen samples, and a urinalysis.
• Imaging tests. In some cases, such as possible cysts or cancer, an ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) scan may be required.
