Reasons you might see a urologist

You may make an appointment or get a referral to a urologist if you have:

Trouble urinating (peeing), including getting started or having a strong flow of urine, pain, cloudy urine or blood in the urine.
Changes in urination, like frequent urination or feeling like you always have to go.
Trouble getting or keeping an erection.
Infertility.
A feeling that something is falling down into your vagina or heaviness in that area.
Pelvic pain.
Urinating when you don’t want to, like at night or when you sneeze, laugh or exercise.

What you can expect during your visit to a urologist?

If you arrange an appointment with a urologist, or if your primary care provider refers you to one, it is crucial to be prepared to clarify the reason for your visit. It may be useful to bring along a list of questions or symptoms related to your health concern. Furthermore, you should be prepared to provide information about your medical history and any medications you are currently prescribed.

Your urologist will likely request diagnostic tests to precisely diagnose your condition and determine the optimal treatment.

Some of these tests may include:

Physical examination varies based on gender. Men may undergo a rectal exam, while women may require a pelvic exam.
Your doctor may request urine, blood, and semen samples for analysis and testing.
To ensure that you can provide a urine sample during your appointment, it may be advisable to drink some water beforehand.
Imaging tests, such as ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) scans, may also be conducted.
