Find & Book a Urologist near you

A urologist is a medical doctor who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the urinary system and the male reproductive system. This type of doctor has completed specialised training in the field of urology. They are qualified to provide medical care for people with conditions such as urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and prostate cancer.

In addition to diagnosing and treating these conditions, a urologist may provide preventative care and advice to help their patients maintain good urinary and reproductive health.

Some of the specific tasks that a urologist performs include:

• Performing physical examinations and ordering tests, such as urine tests and imaging studies, to diagnose urinary and reproductive conditions
• Developing and implementing treatment plans for patients with urinary and reproductive conditions
• Prescribing medication to manage symptoms and treat urinary and reproductive conditions
• Advising patients on lifestyle changes that can help improve their urinary and reproductive health, such as changes to their diet and exercise habits
• Referring patients to other medical specialists or surgeons if necessary
• Surgical procedures to diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary and reproductive systems.

Overall, the primary role of a urologist is to provide expert care for patients with urinary and reproductive conditions and to help them maintain good urinary and reproductive health.

Urologists are trained to perform a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Some of the most common procedures performed by a urologist include:

• Cystoscopy: This is a procedure in which a urologist uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end (a cystoscope) to examine the inside of the bladder and urethra. A cystoscopy can diagnose conditions such as bladder cancer and urinary tract infections.

• Ureteroscopy: This is a procedure in which a urologist uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end (a ureteroscope) to examine the inside of the ureters and the renal pelvis (the part of the kidney where urine collects before it flows into the ureters). A ureteroscopy can diagnose conditions such as kidney stones and ureteral strictures (narrowing of the ureters).

• Prostate biopsy: This is a procedure in which a urologist uses a thin needle to remove a small sample of tissue from the prostate gland for examination. A prostate biopsy can diagnose conditions such as prostate cancer and prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland).

• Vasectomy: This is a surgical procedure in which a urologist cuts or blocks the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the urethra. A vasectomy is a permanent form of birth control for men.

• Penile prosthesis surgery: This is a surgical procedure in which a urologist implants a penile prosthesis (an artificial device that is used to treat erectile dysfunction) into the penis. This can help restore the ability to achieve and maintain an erection.

These are just a few examples of the many procedures that a urologist may perform. Each patient's needs are different, and the specific procedures performed by a urologist will depend on the individual circumstances of each patient.
