What Can I Expect in a Visit?

Your first appointment with a urologist may not be different from a visit with your primary doctor.

Urologists can prescribe medicines and offer what’s called “behavior training.” For instance, you can manage some problems with holding in your urine by doing exercises that strengthen your pelvic muscles. Urologists can also do a range of procedures. Some of these they’ll do in their office. Others are major surgeries done in a hospital.

A few common procedures include:

Similar to cystoscopy, it’s a look inside your ureters and kidneys. Prostate biopsy. The urologist removes a tiny tissue sample from your prostate to test for cancer in a lab. Nephrectomy. This is surgery to remove a kidney to treat cancer. Vasectomy. The urologist cuts the tubes that carry sperm to prevent pregnancy.
