The urinary system keeps the body clean by filtering out wastes and toxins and taking them out of the body. Our specialized urologist will treat common conditions and rarer illnesses that affect everyone and some that affect only men or only women. Our doctor will examine and give a proper diagnose 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.
For the right diagnose of your condition, the doctor may conduct tests such as:
- Physical examination. These will be different for males and females. If you’re a man, your doctor may do a rectal exam. If you’re a woman, you may need to have a pelvic exam.
- Urinalysis, blood tests and semen samples. For these tests, you provide samples of your urine, blood and semen. (You might want to make sure you drink some water before you go to your appointment since you might be asked for a urine sample there.)
- Imaging tests, such as ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) scans.
