Dr. Carlos Encarnacion answered

Specializes in Medical Oncology

Primary care doc: At your age is not likely a serious problem but do go visit your primary doc and let him/her decide if you need a specialist like an urologist. I would not go to an urologist straight away.

Dr Ali and 2 doctors agreed
