Frequently Asked Questions
What does a urologist treat?
Urologists diagnose and treat conditions involving the urinary system and male reproductive system.
Can women see a urologist?
Yes. Urologists treat urinary problems in both men and women, including infections, incontinence, stones and bladder disorders.
What is a urodynamic study?
It is a specialized test that evaluates how the bladder and urethra function. Urodynamics provides detailed information about bladder storage, bladder pressure and urinary flow. It is useful in patients with urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, retention, weak urinary stream, complex lower urinary tract symptoms and selected neurological bladder disorders.
What is RIRS?
RIRS is a minimally invasive procedure in which a flexible scope is passed through the urinary tract to reach and treat kidney stones, often using laser energy.
What is PCNL?
PCNL is a minimally invasive procedure used primarily for larger or complex kidney stones through a small access tract into the kidney.
What is ESWL?
ESWL uses focused shock waves to break certain kidney or ureteric stones into smaller fragments that can pass naturally.
What is TFL?
Thulium Fiber Laser is a modern laser technology used in endourology, particularly for stone fragmentation and dusting and selected prostate procedures.
What is REZŪM?
REZŪM is a minimally invasive water-vapour treatment for selected men with symptoms caused by benign prostate enlargement. It uses controlled water-vapour energy to treat targeted prostate tissue, which gradually shrinks and may improve urinary flow and symptoms.
Is every prostate patient suitable for REZŪM?
No. Treatment suitability depends on prostate anatomy, size, symptoms and other clinical factors.
What is a DJ stent?
A DJ stent is a thin tube placed between the kidney and bladder to maintain urine drainage, often after stone or other urinary tract procedures.
Can kidney stones be prevented?
Yes. Adequate fluid intake, dietary measures and evaluation of recurrent stone patients can reduce the risk of future stones.
When should blood in the urine be investigated?
Visible or unexplained blood in the urine should be medically evaluated, even if it is painless.
Can urinary leakage be treated?
Yes. Treatment depends on the cause and may include lifestyle measures, medicines, pelvic-floor therapy, bladder treatments or surgery.
When is a testicular problem an emergency?
Sudden severe testicular pain requires urgent medical assessment because testicular torsion can threaten the blood supply to the testis.
