5 Symptoms That Require an Urologist
Urinary Frequency: In lots of cases the urge to urinate increases with a bladder infection. When the bladder is impure, spasms happen. This make the person think they need to go to the bathroom when they don't. An urologist can conduct a simple urine test to check for bladder infection. In older males, urinary frequency with small output can be a sign of an enlarged prostate. An urologist needs to do a complete physical exam to make this diagnosis. To Urinate: Some people develop small calcium deposits called stones in their urinary tract. If the stone is large enough, it can block the ureters or the urethra. In either case, urinary output is diminished or stopped altogether. Pain in the back or lower abdomen is regularly experienced with stones. Again, in males this can be a sign of an enlarged prostate. When the prostate grows, it can push on the bladder making it difficult to urinate. A weak stream and a difficult time starting are both signs of a problem
