Urology

Overview

The most common urological problems include prostate enlargement, kidney stones, various inflammations and infections, as well as the early detection of cancerous changes.

When should you see a urologist?

Urological problems are often painful and can seriously affect your quality of life, so do not put off getting checked when symptoms appear. See our specialist if you notice any of the following:

• Changes in urination: Frequent urge to pass urine (especially at night), difficulty starting, or a weak stream.
• Pain or burning: A stinging, burning feeling when passing urine, which often points to inflammation.
• Blood in the urine: Even if it happens only once, it always needs to be investigated straight away!
• Lower back or lower abdominal pain: This may be cramping (renal colic) or a dull feeling of tightness.
• In men: Erectile dysfunction, a lump or pain in the testicles, or pain in the perineum suggesting prostate involvement.
• In women: Recurrent urinary tract infections or involuntary loss of urine (incontinence).

The most common conditions treated in urology

Benign prostate enlargement (BPH) One of the most common problems in older men. It makes passing urine difficult, but can be treated very well with the right medication or a gentle procedure.

Kidney and bladder stones Treatment of the painful cramps caused by crystal deposits, identifying the type of stone, and lifestyle advice to help prevent them.

Prostate cancer screening One of the most common cancers in men. Detected at an early stage – while there are still no symptoms – it can be cured in almost 100% of cases.

What happens during a urological examination

With us, the examination takes place in a discreet and relaxed setting; our aim is an accurate diagnosis with as little discomfort as possible.

1. Consultation: A detailed discussion of your symptoms, past illnesses, family medical history and lifestyle.
2. Physical examination: Feeling the abdomen and, in men, examining the external genitals and the prostate (a quick and painless examination by touch).
3. Ultrasound scan: Checking the condition of the kidneys, bladder and prostate with modern imaging equipment.
4. Laboratory tests: Checking urine for signs of inflammation and, in men, measuring the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) level from a blood sample.

How should you prepare for the examination?

For a urological ultrasound, your bladder must be full, so please drink plenty of fluids 1–1.5 hours before the scan and do not empty your bladder just before your appointment!
