Dr. Mark Pack answered

Specializes in General Surgery

See a Urologist: You need to see a kidney specialist. A urologist is a specialist in bladder and kidney problems. You might need a cystoscopy (a scope looking into the bladder) as part of the evaluation process. Have your Primary doctor help you start the work-up process and refer you to a Urologist.
