They undergo extensive training to understand the complexities of the urinary tract system and its associated organs including the kidneys, bladder, urethra, prostate gland and male reproductive organs. Urologists work with patients of all ages, both men and women. They also help with infertility issues or guide on birth control options.

When Should You Consult a Urologist?
You should consult a urologist if you have any symptoms or signs related to your urinary tract system or male reproductive system.
Several signs and symptoms should prompt you to consult a urologist.
These include:
- Blood in your urine: If you notice blood in your urine or experience pain when urinating, it might be a sign of an underlying condition that requires urgent attention.
- Urinary tract infections: UTIs can cause pain during urination or an increased urge to urinate. Consult a urologist if you experience these symptoms regularly.
- Prostate problems: If you're experiencing difficulty urinating or frequent urination at night time, it could be because of prostate enlargement or other prostate-related problems. It's essential to consult a urologist if you experience these symptoms.
- Erectile dysfunction: ED can affect a man's sexual health and create psychological distress. A urologist or sexologist doctor can help diagnose and treat this condition with various treatment options.
- Kidney stones: Kidney stones can cause severe pain and discomfort. A urologist can help to diagnose and treat kidney stones with medication or surgery if necessary.
What Medical Conditions Do Urologists Treat?
Urologist doctors treat a wide range of medical conditions related to the urinary tract system and male reproductive organs.
Some of these conditions include:
- Prostate cancer: Urologists are skilled in diagnosing and treating prostate cancer. They may use a variety of surgical and non-surgical interventions, including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy.
- Bladder cancer: Urologists use various techniques such as robotic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and bladder removal to treat bladder cancer.
- Infertility: Urologists help couples with fertility issues by performing surgeries like vasectomy reversals or varicocele repair.
- Urinary tract infections: UTIs can be treated with antibiotics and other medication prescribed by urologists.
- Erectile dysfunction: A urologist or sexologist doctor can diagnose and treat ED through medications or other methods such as penile implants or injections.
- Kidney stones: Urologist doctors can remove kidney stones through shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
Urologists also perform routine check-ups for men as they age to assess their prostate health.
What Are the Different Types of Procedures Conducted by Urologists?
Urologists are doctors who perform both surgical and non-surgical procedures related to the urinary tract system and male reproductive organs. Some common procedures include:
- Cystoscopy: A procedure where a urologist looks inside the bladder using a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached to it.
- Lithotripsy: A non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to break up kidney stones into smaller pieces that can be passed through urine.
- Vasectomy: A permanent male sterilization technique that involves cutting or blocking the vas deferens, thus preventing the sperm from being ejaculated during sexual intercourse.
- Prostatectomy: A surgical procedure in which the prostate gland is removed, often for the treatment of prostate cancer.
- Ureteroscopy: A procedure in which a urologist inserts a small scope through the urethra and bladder and into the ureter to remove kidney stones or other obstructions.
How Can I Consult a Urologist?
If you experience any symptoms related to the urinary tract or reproductive health issues, consulting with a urologist is the first step towards proper diagnosis and treatment. You can consult a urologist by booking an appointment at a hospital or clinic that offers urology services.
During your first visit, the urologist will ask you questions about your medical history and symptoms. They may also perform a physical examination and recommend further tests such as blood tests, urine tests or imaging tests to diagnose your condition.
The Role of Urologists in Healthcare
Urologists play an essential role in healthcare by diagnosing and treating medical conditions related to the urinary tract system and male reproductive organs. They work closely with other specialities such as oncologists, gynaecologists, sexologists and paediatricians to provide comprehensive care to patients.
Urologists use various techniques and procedures to diagnose and treat conditions while ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients. Urologists also help improve male sexual health by offering treatments for ED, infertility and other sexual problems. Their contribution to healthcare ensures that men and women can lead healthy and fulfilling lives free from urological conditions and sexual health problems.
If you experience any symptoms related to these systems, it is essential to consult a urologist promptly. Apollo 24/7 offers telemedicine services for urology consultations, so accessing the best sexologists and urologists in India has never been easier.
