FAQ's Related to Urosurgeon

There is a lot of important work that is accomplished by a Urosurgeon when it comes to resolving the urogenital conditions and discomforts the patient is suffering from. It is a Urosurgeon who makes sure that the appropriate testing and screening has been done before the decisions on the procedures are taken. The Urosurgeons are always on the lookout for upgrading their procedures so as to refine the processes further. When it comes to preparing for the procedure and guiding the patient with the lifestyle changes to be made and prescribing the medications, it is the doctors responsibility.

A Urosurgeon consultation means that certain recommended tests may be needed and we have listed them here for your convenience.:

  • Urine Test
  • Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Blood Test
  • Digital Rectal Exam
  • Retrograde Pyelogram
  • Blood Test
  • CT-Urogram
  • Cystoscopy

Among the tests routinely associated with the urogenital conditions, kidney tests are considered to be very prevalent. To confirm whether the abnormal growth like tumors in your kidney or prostate are cancerous, surgeons advise biopsies. As per the emergent situation, the doctor can also advise you to get Kidney Ultrasound, Prostate/Rectal Ultrasound.

It is essential that you see a Urosurgeon when your primary care doctor has suggested that the urogenital problem cannot be solved through medical treatment.When medical treatment has been ruled out either right at the onset or it has been applied and has failed to help you, it is then that you go to see a Urosurgeon. Your decision is also based on the symptoms and their severity which may lead you to directly to the Urosurgeon instead of being referred by a primary care doctor. Kindly ensure that if and when complications arise post urogenital surgery then you do not waste time and visit the surgeon as soon as possible. Sometimes the symptoms do not have a direct reference as a urogenital problem but may lead to them, to rule out this possibility, your doctor may refer you to a Urosurgeon.
