Diagnosing Conditions
State-of-the-art diagnostic equipment makes it possible to identify and pinpoint problems in very specific areas. Tests range from noninvasive ultrasound imaging for many urinary conditions to cystoscopy to get an inside view of the lining of the bladder. X-rays utilize injection of liquid to study fluid movement inside the body. Biopsies and blood tests are scheduled as needed.

A Range of Treatment Options
Based on the diagnosis of the patient's condition, a urologist may determine that the patient needs something as simple as an antibiotic. Surgery, when necessary, is often nerve-sparing or minimally invasive. Microwave thermotherapy or heat treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy and laser lithotripsy for kidney stones are just two examples of procedures the urologist might recommend to treat a particular condition.

A Multidisciplinary Approach
In some instances, the urologist might use a "team approach" for the patient's care. Members of the team may include a gynecologist for infertility or post-childbirth conditions, or an oncologist or radiologist depending on the diagnosis. Psychiatry and social services are sometimes helpful to patients experiencing physical conditions that are considered emotional or delicate.
