Urologist – Why Consulting a Specialist Matters
A Urologist is a surgical specialist for the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra) in both men and women, and the male reproductive system (prostate, testes, penis). They manage kidney stones, UTIs, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, male infertility, erectile dysfunction, and urinary incontinence. Urologists perform minimally invasive procedures like cystoscopy, TURP, ureteroscopy, PCNL, and robotic surgeries.
