When you visit a urologist, they’ll start by doing one or more of these tests to find out what condition you have:
Imaging tests, such as a CT Scan, MRI Scan, or Ultrasound, allow them to see inside your urinary tract.

Your urologist can perform a Cystoscopy. This involves using a thin scope called a cystoscope to see the inside of your urethra and bladder.

What does a urologist do?
Urologists are the professional doctors who look after all the critical diseases that affect the urinary tract system, kidney, bladder, and intestines. They offer personalised treatment plans after complete diagnosis of the health conditions. These experts also provide post-treatment recovery to patients and offer treatment through various medications and non-invasive procedures.
What question should you ask a urologist?
While meeting a urologist, you should ask certain questions that can clear your concerns regarding urinary system symptoms and available treatment options. These questions can include how they diagnose the symptoms, what methods they use to monitor the health conditions, how long they have been treating, and what recovery methods they use.
What are the most common types of conditions that urologists treat?
There are several conditions that urologists address and treat with effective treatments. These conditions include prostate problems, kidney stones, urine infections, pain in the intestines, pain in the bladder, frequent urine or blood in urine, infertility, and enlarged prostate. Our urologists in Hyderabad at Aster Prime detect these symptoms to create painless solutions with post-treatment recovery plans.

How does a urologist decide on a treatment plan?
To decide on a treatment plan, a urologist uses several aspects, such as current health conditions, severity of the symptoms, and potential risks involved in the treatment.

Will a urologist help manage side effects during treatment?
