Urologist in Chennai

What is a Urologist?

A urologist is a specialised doctor who focuses primarily on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting the male and female urinary tracts as well as issues with the penis, testes, scrotum, and prostate in men. Being a trained surgeon they also perform surgical procedures like lithotripsy, orchiopexy, penile plication, penile implants & prosthesis, male circumcision, vasectomy, and vasectomy reversal, among several others.


What does a Urologist do?

Urologists treat both common and uncommon ailments that affect both men and women as well as those that are specific to either gender. Also, all urologists are trained as surgeons and can treat conditions like;

  • Urinary tract infections
  • Urinary incontinence (being unable to stop urinating)
  • Pediatric urology
  • Birth defects of the urinary tract
  • Hematuria (Urine with blood in it)
  • Male reproductive system disorders, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia/ BPH/enlarged prostate
  • Male infertility
  • Erection problems
  • Cystitis interstitial
  • Genitourinary reconstruction
  • Urologic oncology
  • Bladder, renal, and prostate cancer
  • Renal stones
  • Kidney transplantation
  • Minimally invasive surgery (robotic, laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery)

What is the difference between a Urologist and a Nephrologist?

It is a common misconception among people that nephrologists and urologists are the same as both treat kidney related problems. However, in medical terms both deal with totally different conditions. Urologists are trained surgeons and treat diseases of the urinary system; including kidney-related illnesses including blockage and kidney stones while nephrologists specialise in treating conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure or renal failure that impair the kidneys and their capacity to operate.


How does a Urologist examine you?

Urology mainly concerns the issues with urinary systems including urethra, bladder, kidney, or ureter and also deals with the problem of male reproductive system. Where male urethra is part of both the urinary and reproductive systems, female urethra only belongs to the urinary system. As the urinary system in male and females differ in its working, it requires a different test approach that requires; blood testing, urine analysis, semen samples, Imaging procedures like computed tomography (CT) scans or ultrasounds to detect for blockages, tumours, and other abnormalities, pyelograms, cystography, CT scan or ultrasound of the kidney, prostate/rectal ultrasonography, renal angiography, among several others.


What to expect at your first Urologist appointment female?

Like every other doctor, to understand your health issue, a urologist too will ask you about your symptoms, medical history, current medications, health and complications. Your doctor may also ask you to undergo a full body examination, or may write some lab tests or biopsies for further examination.

Females are usually required to go through a thorough genital exam that involves a pelvic examination to diagnose and treat various conditions of a woman's pelvic organs, including pelvic prolapse, pelvic floor disorders, and urinary incontinence.


Are Urologists Surgeons?

Yes, all urologists are trained surgeons and can treat malignancies of the bladder, kidneys, testicles, urethra, and prostate, surgically. A urologist also conducts vasectomies and reverse vasectomies as part of the male reproduction.


Can a Urologist treat Hemorrhoids?

A urologist usually concerns himself with issues concerning the urinary tract and male reproductive system. However, to treat hemorrhoids, a proctologist or colorectal surgeon is needed who are educated in the field of medicine concerned with the anatomy and disorders of the anus, rectum, and sigmoid colon (proctology). A proctologist can therefore identify and cure haemorrhoids.


What conditions does a Urologist treat?

A urologist may deal with kidney stones, bladder issues, urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder and kidney cancer, and kidney obstruction. As the men's urinary system also serves as a part of their reproductive system and ejacuates semen, men may also consult urologists for erectile dysfunction (ED), enlarged prostate, prostate cancer, and testicular malignancy.

On the other hand, women may need to visit a urologist, for pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence or children who experience aberrant urinary tract issues, such as bedwetting, may also need to consult a urologist.


What types of procedures does a urologist perform?

Urologists primarily provide prescriptions and behavioral training to treat and manage a urologic condition or may also perform surgical procedures when needed, including:

  • Vasectomy: A surgical procedure for male birth control.
  • Vasectomy reversal: To reverse the male birth control operation by repairing the vas deferens, so that the male can father children again.
  • Cystoscopy: To check the lining of the bladder and the urethra a long, thin tube with a light and camera attached at its head, is inserted into the urethra and directed to the bladder. Cystoscopy is used to identify and treat bladder problems and to also to check if the prostate is enlarged.
  • Ureteroscopy: Kidney stones are diagnosed and treated via ureteroscopy. A ureteroscope is a specialised tool that is directed via the urethra, bladder, and up the ureter to the kidney stone's location. It is a long, thin tube with a light and camera.
  • Lithotripsy: It is a urology technique that breaks up stones in the kidney, bladder, or ureter in small fragments using shock waves or a laser. Large stones are broken into small pieces so they may move through the urinary system.
  • Orchiopexy: A surgical technique called an orchiopexy is used to remove an undescended testicle. The testicle is transferred into the scrotum during the surgery from the abdominal or groin area. Then a "tacking stitch" is used to secure it to the scrotum.
  • Penile Plication: A surgical urology treatment called penile plication is performed to address Peyronie's disease that affects the curvature of penis. Permanent sutures are inserted during this outpatient treatment on the side of the scarring that is responsible for the curvature.
  • Penile Implants & Prosthesis: Men with erectile dysfunction (ED) can acquire an erection with the help of penile implants or prosthesis - devices that are inserted into the penis. Typically, these devices are only advocated as a last resort for ED. For example, men with severe Peyronie's disease who are unable to erect owing to the penis' curvature may be advised to use a penile prosthesis.
  • Male circumcision: This surgery is used to remove the foreskin covering the tip of the penis. It is a treatment that is often carried out on newborn males all around the world majorly due to religious reasons.

When to see a urologist male?

For all urinary issues, from minor illnesses like urinary tract infections (UTI) to major conditions like cancer, you should see a urologist. A urologist may assist you diagnose, manage and treat conditions like erectile dysfunction, urinary blockage, testicular mass, smelly urine, blood in the urine, BPH, and enlarged prostate, among several others.
