What is examined during a urology consultation?
At Medical Centre, we perform a comprehensive range of urological examinations to detect and monitor disorders of the urinary tract and male genital organs. This includes complaints when urinating, prostate problems, recurrent urinary tract infections, pain or swelling in the testicles, and sexual dysfunction. A thorough urological evaluation is also recommended in cases of blood in the urine, decreased urinary strength or unexplained abdominal or flank pain.Depending on your symptoms, age and risk factors, we select the most appropriate tests, such as blood and urine analysis, ultrasound, uroflowmetry or prostate examination. Each course is tailored to your situation, with attention to comfort, discretion and clear communication.Are you unsure whether your symptoms need further investigation? Our urologists are ready to provide professional care and clear explanations.
Anamnesis
During the initial consultation, the doctor will discuss your symptoms, medical history, medication use and any family conditions. This creates a complete picture of your health, which can be used to determine the most appropriate examination.
Clinical research
The doctor conducts a physical examination and combines it with a focused questioning. This helps to detect possible abnormalities quickly and make a correct diagnosis.
Laboratory research
Blood and urine samples provide insight into important values such as kidney function, electrolytes, inflammatory markers, PSA (prostate marker) and hormonal balance. This gives us crucial information for diagnosis and follow-up treatment.
Ultrasounds
With ultrasound, organs such as the bladder, kidneys, prostate and testicles are imaged. The examination is painless and safe and helps detect kidney stones, urinary tract obstruction or prostate enlargement, for example.
Uroflow
In uroflowmetry, a device records the speed and force of the urine stream. This simple and painless examination provides insight into possible obstructions or impaired bladder function.
For what complaints is a urological examination indicated?
Are you experiencing urinary problems, pain in the lower abdomen or blood in the urine? This may indicate a disorder of the urinary tract or male genital organs. Timely consultation with a urologist is essential for proper evaluation, diagnosis and prevention of complications. Common indications for a urological examination include:
Complaints when urinating - Difficulty urinating, a weak stream, frequent urges or incontinence may indicate an enlarged prostate, overactive bladder or pelvic floor problems. Haematuria (blood in urine) - This alarm symptom may indicate kidney stones, urinary tract infections or, in rare cases, a tumour in the urinary tract or bladder. Pain in the side or lower abdomen - Severe, sudden pain may indicate kidney stones, urinary tract obstruction or other kidney disease. Erectile dysfunction - Problems with erection can arise from vascular, hormonal, neurological or psychological causes. Recurrent urinary tract infections - Frequent infections require further investigation for structural or functional abnormalities of the urinary tract. Kidney stones - Colic pain, often accompanied by nausea and blood in the urine, may indicate stone formation that requires medical evaluation.Problems with the prostate - Nighttime urination, difficulty urinating or a reduced urine stream may indicate prostate enlargement or other prostate disorders.
Timely detection prevents complications.
Many urological conditions are well treatable and often even preventable with regular medical follow-up and lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight and adequate fluid intake. Timely consultation with a urologist in case of symptoms increases the chances of accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. When in doubt, always consult a specialist promptly. Your health deserves proper attention.
What does a urologist consultation involve?
1. Interview and medical history
During a urological consultation, the doctor begins with an intake interview. Here, complaints, urination pattern, sexual health, medical history and any family risk factors are discussed. This creates a complete and focused picture of your urological health.
2. The investigations
Depending on your symptoms, the doctor may perform one or more tests, such as urine and blood tests, ultrasound of the kidneys, bladder or prostate, or uroflowmetry. If necessary, additional tests are performed, such as a PSA determination, residue measurement or rectal examination. These examinations give a complete picture of your urological health and help detect abnormalities in time.
3. Discussion of the results
The doctor discusses the results confidentially and explains the findings. If necessary, a personal treatment plan is drawn up, including lifestyle advice, medication or a referral for additional tests or treatments. The medical report is available afterwards via your eHealth or CoZo file.
