If something goes wrong with your urinary tract — your body’s system for getting rid of your pee — you may need to see a special doctor called a urologist. They’re experts who can treat problems of Urological Tracts

Who are Urologist?

Urologists diagnose and treat diseases of the urinary tract in both men and women. They also diagnose and treat anything involving the reproductive tract in men. In some cases, they may perform surgery. For example, they may remove cancer or open up a blockage in the urinary tract. The urinary tract is the system that creates, stores, and removes urine from the body. Urologists can treat any part of this system. This includes the:

  • Kidneys, which are the organs that filter waste out of the blood to produce urine
  • Ureters, which are the tubes through which urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder
  • Bladder, which is the hollow sac that stores urine
  • Urethra, which is the tube through which urine travels from the bladder out of the body
  • Adrenal Glands, which are the glands located on top of each kidney that release hormones

Urologists also treat all parts of the male reproductive system. This system is made up of the:

  • Penis, which is the organ that releases urine and carries sperm out of the body
  • Prostate, which is the gland underneath the bladder that adds fluid to sperm to produce semen
  • Testicles, which are the two oval organs inside the scrotum that make the hormone testosterone and produce sperm

When should you see a urologist?

Your primary care doctor can treat you for mild urinary problems, such as a UTI. Your primary care doctor may refer you to a urologist if your symptoms don’t improve or if you have a condition that needs treatments they can’t provide. You may need to see both a urologist and another specialist for certain conditions. For example, a man who has prostate cancer can see a cancer specialist called “an oncologist” and a urologist. How do you know when it’s time to see a urologist? Having any of these symptoms suggests you have a problem in the urinary tract:

  • Blood in your urine
  • A frequent or urgent need to urinate
  • Pain in your lower back, pelvis, or sides
  • Pain or burning during urination
  • Trouble urinating
  • Urine leakage
  • Weak urine flow, dribbling

You should also see a urologist if you’re a man and you’re experiencing these symptoms:

  • A decreased sexual desire
  • A lump in the testicle
  • Trouble getting or keeping an erection
