What to do before an examination by a urologist

Preparing for the inspection is not difficult:

• Intimate hygiene should be carried out without cosmetics.
• It is recommended to take a bottle of plain water without gas with you. It will be required if the urologist prescribes an ultrasound of the bladder. In a full state, the bladder is better seen on ultrasound. Also, two hours before the ultrasound, it is advisable not to go to the toilet.
• One day before the examination, you should not drink drinks and food that provoke increased gas formation. We are talking about carbonated drinks, fermented milk and dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as legumes. It is better to exclude all this.
• Alcoholic beverages are not allowed.
• If you have problems with urination, then it is recommended to fill out a urination diary before visiting a urologist.
• If you have documents about previous examinations of the genitourinary system, then you need to take them with you. This will better allow you to identify the causes of poor health.

How consultation and diagnostics work

First, the doctor collects all the necessary information: identifies complaints, looks at previous studies. Then a visual inspection is carried out. In men, it examines the shape, size of the penis, the condition of the skin, head, testicles, scrotum, kidneys and bladder. It is also mandatory to conduct a digital rectal examination of the prostate. In women, it probes the area of the kidneys and bladder.

Next, the urologist makes a preliminary diagnosis and, to determine the accuracy, prescribes additional studies, as well as tests. They use functional and laboratory methods to detect the disease, we are talking about:

• Biopsies.
• Urodynamic examination.
• Cystoscopy
• Ultrasound of the bladder, kidneys. For men, there is also an ultrasound of the scrotum, prostate.
• Testing for sexually transmitted infections (STDs).
• PCR diagnostics.
• Spermogram.

• Bacteriological culture.
• Blood and urine analysis.

It is important to remember that the more information you provide to the doctor, the faster he will be able to identify the cause of your problem. After the exact diagnosis is determined, the urologist will prescribe you treatment.
