A urologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders related to the urinary tract and male reproductive system. They address conditions involving the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and male reproductive organs.

You should see a urologist for issues such as urinary tract infections, kidney stones, incontinence, erectile dysfunction, prostate conditions, male infertility, and any concerns related to the urinary or reproductive systems.

Urologists treat a variety of conditions, including but not limited to kidney stones, urinary tract infections, prostate issues (e.g., enlarged prostate, prostatitis), bladder issues, male reproductive health, and urological cancers (bladder, kidney, prostate).

Diagnosis involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and often, specialized tests such as imaging studies (ultrasound, CT scans), urodynamic testing, cystoscopy, and blood or urine tests to assess kidney function and screen for potential issues.

Yes, urologists are trained to perform surgeries, including minimally invasive procedures and major surgeries. Common urological surgeries include kidney stone removal, prostate surgery, bladder surgery, vasectomy, and surgeries for urological cancers.

In many cases, a referral is not required to see a urologist. Patients can schedule appointments directly, especially if they have specific urological concerns. However, some insurance plans may have specific requirements, so it's advisable to check with your provider.
