FAQs About Urology

A urologist diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder) in both men and women, as well as the male reproductive system (prostate/testis).

Common urological conditions include urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine), prostate problems, and male infertility.

Symptoms such as acute back/lower abdominal pain, blood in urine (visible/non visible), frequent or painful urination, incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine), or difficulty urinating should be evaluated by a urologist.

Diagnosis often involves a combination of urine tests, blood tests, imaging studies (such as ultrasound or CT scan), and sometimes endoscopic procedures.

Some urological problems can be prevented by staying hydrated, practising good hygiene, managing chronic conditions, and having regular check-ups.

Yes, regular prostate screening is important for early detection of prostate cancer and other prostate conditions, especially in men over 50 and those with a family history of cancer.

At your first appointment, the urologist will take a detailed medical history and ask about your symptoms, lifestyle, and any medical/surgical/family history of urological conditions. You may be asked about urinary habits, sexual health, and previous treatments. A physical examination may be performed, and initial tests such as urine analysis, blood tests, or imaging (like an ultrasound) may be ordered to help diagnose your condition.

The urologist will explain the purpose of each test, discuss possible diagnoses, and outline the next steps. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns, ensuring you feel informed and involved in your care plan.

UTIs are commonly diagnosed through a urine test that checks for bacteria and white blood cells. If you have frequent or severe infections, your urologist may recommend further investigations such as urine cultures, blood tests, uroflowmetry or imaging studies to rule out structural abnormalities or underlying causes. Treatment usually involves a course of antibiotics, and you may be advised to drink plenty of fluids and practise good personal hygiene.

For recurrent UTIs, your doctor may suggest lifestyle changes, prophylactic antibiotics, or further evaluation to identify contributing factors. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important to prevent complications such as kidney infections.

Treatment for prostate conditions depends on the specific diagnosis. For benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), options include lifestyle changes, medications to relax or shrink the prostate, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery if symptoms are severe. Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) is usually managed with antibiotics and supportive care.

Prostate cancer treatment is tailored to the stage and grade of the cancer and may involve active surveillance, surgery, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, or a combination of these.

At Ara Damansara Medical Centre (ADMC), patients benefit from advanced diagnostics, a multidisciplinary team, and access to the latest treatments for all types of prostate conditions, ensuring care is both effective and personalised.

Kidney stones are diagnosed using imaging studies such as ultrasound, X-ray, or CT scan. Small stones (less than 5mm) may pass naturally with increased fluid intake and pain management, but larger or obstructive stones may require medical intervention.

Treatment options include shock wave lithotripsy (breaking stones with sound waves), ureteroscopy (removal via a thin scope), or surgical procedures for complex cases. Prevention focuses on staying well-hydrated, reducing dietary salt and animal protein, and following specific dietary recommendations based on the stone’s composition.

Your urologist will review your risk factors and provide individualised advice to help prevent recurrence.

Maintaining urological health involves several proactive steps:

  • Drink sufficient water daily to keep urine clear (about 1.5 to 2 litres daily)
  • Practise good personal hygiene, especially after using the toilet or during sexual activity
  • Avoid holding urine for long periods
  • Manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, as these can affect urinary health
  • For men, consider regular prostate screening from age 50 onwards
  • Seek medical advice promptly if you notice symptoms like blood in urine, pain, or changes in urinary habits
Regular health checks can help detect problems early and support long-term urinary and reproductive health.
