Top 12 Urologists in India

Who is a Urologist ?

The doctors who treat conditions related to the urinary tract and the male reproductive system or the genitourinary tract are known as urologists. The parts of the body which constitute the genitourinary tract are kidneys, urethra, urinary bladder, adrenal glands, male fertility, and male reproductive organs.

What does a Urologist do?

When you first visit a Urologist, they will begin by asking you questions related to your condition and your general health status. The initial consultation will include the physical test, perusing your medical reports and records, if any. It is wise to mention the medications that you have been prescribed or are taking. The doctor will also recommend a series of tests, based on your individual case details.

The tests that a Urologist can prescribe are as follows:

• Physical Exam: urinary tract system – includes kidneys, ureters, and bladder, penis or testicles if required Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) of prostate gland
• Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Blood Tests
• Creatinine and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Blood Tests
• Testosterone Blood Tests
• Urinalysis
• Urine Cultures
• 24-Hour Urine Test
• Ultrasound
• Kidney, ureter, and bladder (KUB) X-ray
• Intravenous pyelogram (IVP) X-ray
• Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) X-ray
• CT scan
• Cystoscopy Semen Analysis (Seminogram)

Based on the assessment thus far the urologist will outline the plan for your treatment going forward. More tests may be prescribed by the doctor even during the treatment process.

Post the tests the doctor will decide upon the future course of treatment which could be medical treatment, minimally invasive procedures, or surgical procedures. The doctor initially strives to find nonsurgical treatment for the patients. Alternative methods of treatment including medications, lifestyle and dietary changes as well as an outpatient or ambulatory procedures are most desired such as a cystoscopy, urodynamics, and/or biopsy.

A cystoscopy is actually a minimally invasive procedure that makes sure that your urethra and bladder are checked properly. Urodynamics is to measure the functionality of the bladder for incontinence in patients.

Post the treatment, if there has been a procedure involved in the process, then the doctor guides the patient through post-operative care which is a recovery and rehabilitation process. This helps you immensely in getting back to a normal life. The doctor will aid you and guide you through the do’s and don’ts post the treatment process as well so you can adapt well and in an easier way to your new lifestyle. This can include dietary and lifestyle changes post the treatment process that can help you get back on track.
