A member asked:
How is a pelvic exam performed by a urologist? do they use a catheter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Same as OB-gyn: A urologist will examine the pelvic organs in the same way as your OB-gyn does. A catheter is only used for obstruction which I assume you do not have. If you have blood in the urine, suspicion of a bladder stone or ureteral problems, the urologist might use a telescopic instrument called a cystoscope which is a painless examination in most cases. You will be informed of each step.
