Urology

A urologist treats kidney stones, urinary tract infections, prostate enlargement, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, male infertility, varicocele, hydrocele, and congenital urological conditions.

See a urologist if you experience blood in urine, difficulty or pain during urination, frequent urination especially at night, kidney stone symptoms, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, or if screening detects an elevated PSA level.

Small kidney stones may pass naturally with hydration and pain management. Larger stones may require extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy to break them up, ureteroscopy with laser fragmentation, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy for very large stones.

An elevated prostate-specific antigen level can indicate prostate enlargement, prostate inflammation, or prostate cancer. It is a screening tool, not a definitive diagnosis. Further evaluation with imaging and possible biopsy helps determine the cause.

Yes, online urology consultations are effective for discussing symptoms, reviewing lab and imaging results, managing medications for chronic conditions, post-operative follow-ups, and determining whether in-person procedures are needed.
