Practicing more than a decade, I’ve realized that until someone actually needs a urologist, most people don’t know exactly what we do. To quell any doubt, in this blog, I’ll go into detail about what a qualified urologist, like me, can help you with.

Simply put, we are surgical specialists who treat people for problems and diseases of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. Some of the organs we look after include the Adrenal gland, kidneys, prostate, bladder, urethra, testes, penis and associated glands.

If you are having any issues related to the above areas then a urologist can help by discussing the problem, examining you, investigating and reaching an accurate diagnosis. Although there is a common misconception that we only treat men, urologists actually treat men, women and children.

Our main responsibilities include planning and undertaking surgery, using various methodologies to treat problems and prescribing medications.

To become a urologist, we first have to become a qualified doctor before specializing and super specializing. This means that as well as in-depth skills and knowledge in Urology, we also have broad, general medical knowledge.

Some urologists only treat general diseases of the urinary tract while others specialize in the following areas: Male infertility, Andrology, Female urology, Neuro-urology, Urologic oncology, Paediatric urology, Reconstructive Urology, Robotic Surgery, Laparoscopic/Minimally invasive surgery.
