What Treatments Procedure Can a Urologist Perform?

1.Cystoscopy

A cystoscopy examines the bladder and urethra by seeing them with a cystoscope. It detects an enlarged prostate and cures bladder problems.

Ureteroscopy

Ureteroscopy cures kidney stones. The urethra, bladder, and ureter guide a ureteroscope to the kidney stone. Larger stones must be split apart.

Prostate Biopsy

A prostate biopsy removes questionable tissue samples from the prostate.

Nephrectomy

Nephrectomy (kidney removal) is a surgical procedure that removes all or part of a kidney.

Vasectomy

Vasectomy is male birth control surgery. During the treatment, the doctor seals the vas deferens.

When Should I See The Urologist?

Your doctor may advise you to visit a urologist if you’re exhibiting symptoms of a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), difficulty in passing urine, blood in urine, Incontinence (urinary leakage), or Erectile Dysfunction. As these illnesses lie in the scope of a urologist, a general doctor will recommend that you visit one. The urologist also looks after male infertility and sexual problem.
