Frequently Asked Questions in Urology

How does urology examine?
Urologists can apply different examination methods according to the patient's symptoms and complaints. These inspection methods may include:

• Physical examination: The urologist can physically examine the patient's genital area and urinary tract. During this examination, sections such as abdominal examination, penis, testicles, prostate and rectum area may also be examined.

• Urine testing: Urine testing can be used to diagnose urinary tract infections and other urological problems. Urine culture testing can help create an accurate treatment plan by determining the type and number of bacteria in the urine.

• Imaging tests: Imaging tests such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT) may be used to examine the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and other urological organs.

• Biopsy: In cases where urological cancer diagnosis is necessary, urologists can perform a biopsy. This process involves taking samples of tissue or cells and then examining them for laboratory testing.

• Endoscopic examination: Endoscopic examination is a method used to visualize the inside of the urinary tract. During this procedure, a special tool can be inserted into the urinary tract and its interior can be examined.
