Who is a Urologist?
A urologist is a doctor who specializes in treating pediatric, male, and female urological problems including kidney stones, prostate problems, urinary tract infections, and tumors of the urinary tract.
When to consult with a urologist?
If your are experiencing symptoms related to the urinary system, such as
Blood in urine
Painful urination
Back and groin pain,
Previously diagnosed with kidney or prostate issues
Incontinence either in children or adults
Reproductive health issues
Consulting a urologist leads to proper diagnosis and timely management and is critical for maintaining overall good health.
Patients have access to the latest technologies in surgery, including minimally invasive techniques, accurate diagnostic tools, and advanced therapy guidelines, to provide exceptional healthcare experience such as:
Urinary Tract Stones: ESWL (advanced technique for kidney and ureter stone removal), Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy, Flexible Ureteroscopy and Laser Lithotripsy
Prostate Treatment: Laser prostatectomy (removal of the prostate or a part of it by laser), Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
Bladder Treatment: TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor), Ileal conduit (It’s a urinary diversion procedure after radical cystectomy – bladder removal)
Optical Urethrotomy: A procedure for opening a stricture or narrowing in the urethra.
Laparoscopic surgeries for kidney and ureter problems.
Laparoscopic Varicocelectomy: A procedure for the removal of varicocele (swollen veins in the scrotum)
Vesico Vaginal Fistula Repair: A surgery for the closure of the opening between the vagina and urinary bladder in females.
Stress Incontinence correction in females: These include colposuspension, and TVT (tension-free vaginal tape) & TOT (trans-obturator tape).
Vasectomy: Vasectomy is a medical procedure that is often discussed but less frequently understood in-depth. It’s one of the most reliable forms of male sterilization, offering a reliable solution for men who no longer wish to father children.
Vasectomy Reversal: A procedure performed on males who report infertility after a vasectomy, it aims at reconnecting the sperms from the testes to the semen, with a post-surgery pregnancy rate of 40% to 90%.
The diagnosis of urological diseases typically involves a combination of the following steps, basis the recommendation of a urologist. These diagnostic tools help urologists to deal with various urological conditions.
Medical history and physical examination: To understand symptoms and identify any risk factors or underlying causes.
Urine tests: To check for infection, blood, or other abnormalities in the urine.
Blood tests: To assess kidney function and any other related problems.
Imaging tests: Such as ultrasounds, CT scans, or MRIs to visualize the urinary tract and detect any structural abnormalities or tumors.
Cystoscopy: A procedure to look inside the bladder & urethra using a camera.
Biopsy: Taking a small tissue sample for examination, exclude cancers, and detects the root cause of the problem.

At Reem Hospital Abu Dhabi, the urology department provides expert care for both adult & pediatric urological conditions.
Surgical removal of the prostate gland (prostatectomy)is often used to treat prostate cancer or benign prostate enlargement in elderly patients.
Removal of a kidney (Nephrectomy) either partially or entirely, often performed to treat kidney cancer or severe kidney damage.
Surgical reconstruction of the renal pelvis (Pyeloplasty) to correct a blockage or narrowing in the drainage system of the kidney.
Management of kidney stones & their complications involves various approaches, including medical treatment, shockwave therapy (ESWL), and surgical procedures like nephrolithotomy, which can be performed through either traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
Removal of the bladder (Cystectomy)is often performed to treat bladder cancer.
Surgical removal of one or both testicles (Orchiectomy) is often performed to treat testicular cancer.
Testicular torsion repair: A urological surgical emergency, involving detorsion and fixation of the testicle to treat testicular torsion.
Hydrocelectomy: Surgical removal of a hydrocele, a fluid-filled sac around the testicle.
Surgical sterilization for men (Vasectomy) involves the cutting or sealing of the vas deferens to prevent sperm from reaching the ejaculate.
Infertility diagnosis and management.
Urethral reconstruction (Urethroplasty): Surgical repair or reconstruction of the urethra, often used to treat urethral strictures.
Bed wetting and daytime wetting.
Circumcision & circumcision correction.
Hypospadias correction.
Pediatric hernia and hydrocele correction.
Pediatric orchiopexy for undescended testis.
Varicocele and meatal stenosis.
Urinary tract infection.
Spina bifida is a congenital condition that affects the development of the baby’s spinal cord, spine, and developing brain. This condition can lead to a neurogenic bladder, resulting in decreased control over urine. Treating the neurogenic bladder can help alleviate this issue, allowing the bladder to relax and expand its capacity for urine storage. This, in turn, helps protect the kidneys from potential harm.

A urologist is a medical professional who specializes in dealing with the urinary tract and male reproductive system disorders.
First urologists diagnose issues based on symptoms, physical examinations, and various tests such as blood tests, urine tests, ultrasounds, and biopsies.
Then they prescribe treatment for a range of conditions, from common urinary tract infections to complex cancers affecting the kidneys, bladder, or prostate.
When necessary, urologists perform surgeries to remove blockages, anatomical defects, and tumors.
Urologists often manage chronic conditions as well like persistent kidney stones, incontinence, or in cases of male infertility.
Some urologists may specialize in areas like female urology, pediatric urology, or urologic oncology, focusing on specific patient groups or diseases.
What are the common symptoms of urologic disorders?
Common symptoms of urologic disorders include:
Back and groin pain.
Blood in the urine.
Frequent urination especially at night is the most common alarming sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Painful urination: Often associated with infection but can also indicate bladder stones.
Uncontrolled urine leakage in both children and female adults.
These symptoms can indicate a range of urologic conditions and should consider a visit to a urologist for proper diagnosis and timely management.
What causes urology problems in men?
Urology problems in men can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Prostate enlargement: Is often caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia, in men over 50 years old.
Urinary tract infection: caused by bacterial infection, often after surgeries or because of weak immunity, pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, diabetes, or bad hygienic habits.
Bladder stones: usually caused by dehydration, a high protein & salt diet or certain medications can help the formation of bladder stones.
Neurological diseases like Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis can affect bladder function.
Cancer: Prostate or bladder cancer can lead to various urinary problems.
These are the most common causes of urological problems, but remember, you must consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
