Question 4

i am a female and was told i have kidney stones after going to an emergency room.  i am going to a urologist.  what will happen at that exam?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: The first thing the urologist is likely to discuss is if the kidney stones need to be treated or not.  Small stones can often be followed, but if they are bigger or in a place where they are blocking the flow of urine and causing pain, then they often need surgery.  
The next step is preventing future stones.  This usually involves some blood work and may involve a 24 hour urine collection.

Question 5

any special exams only a urologist does?

Accepted Answer

Cystoscopy: Urologists primarily deal with the bladder and kidney's.  They perform a cystoscopy (bladder scope) to check the urethra, inside of the bladder for tumor/ lesion and  prostate appearance.

Question 6

my urologist has suggested i undergo a cystoscopy exam. ecography and cystological exams have been negative. are  there serious risks  with this test?

Accepted Answer

Not risky: Cystoscopy most commonly performed in adults as an office procedure with a flexible cystoscope after instilling anesthetic gel into urethra to minimize pain ;/or discomfort.

Question 7

symptoms of urine exravasation in males. would a physical exam by urologist rule this out?

Accepted Answer

What?: This phrase really doesn't make sense. Do you mean incontinence or leakage?  What is meant by "symptoms of extravasation?"  extravasation is abnormal leakage of fluid from somewhere it should be to somewhere it should not, and it frequently confirmed with radiographic tests and x-ray contrast material.  So, you must rephrase your question.

Question 8

i have never been to a urologist. i would like to know what to expect from my visit whether it be details about an exam or test. i have hypospadias.

Accepted Answer

See answer: A typical initial visit to a urologist will include: 1) thorough history (hx) with questions pertaining to reason for your visit, past med/surg hx, meds, allergies, and social hx, 2) physical exam with focus on genital area and, if indicated, a digital rectal exam to check prostate; 3) a request for a urine sample for urinalysis; and 4) discussion of possible diagnosis, further testing, treatment.
