Urology basics
What does a urologist do?
A urologist is a physician and surgeon trained to diagnose and treat urinary tract conditions in adults and children, plus male reproductive and sexual health conditions.
The body systems urologists treat
Urologists care for the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, prostate, testicles, penis, and related pelvic structures. They treat medical problems, perform procedures, and coordinate cancer or reconstructive care when needed.
Common reasons people see a urologist include blood in the urine, kidney stones, urinary infections, incontinence, weak stream, urinary retention, elevated PSA, BPH, prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction, infertility, and vasectomy consultation.
When a urologist is the right next step
Primary care can start many workups, but a urologist is usually the right specialist when symptoms persist, tests are abnormal, surgery may be needed, cancer needs to be ruled out, or the problem involves the prostate, bladder, kidneys, stones, or male reproductive system.
