Rules of preparation for examination by a urologist

Lists of narrow specialization of medical researchers can plunge patients into a kind of bewilderment. That is why, for any pathology, men initially visit their local therapists. So that they figure it out and refer the man to the right doctor.

In order to identify any pathology of the urinary tract, as well as the renal system, it does not take much effort. Many factors can be a marker for this, such as an unsatisfactory analysis of the urethra, a certain kind of complaint.

In order to get a detailed diagnosis, to find out the full pathogenesis, to clarify the methods of therapeutic intervention, men are referred to a medical researcher in the field of urology, who checks and examines the male body for pathology.

However, it is impossible to consider a specialist urologist only in the male direction, since this opinion is widespread, but incorrect. Employees of this specialization deal with diseases of the genitourinary tract, it does not depend on the gender of the person who complains about a similar problem.

A separate group in this urological direction is provided only to pediatric urologists who treat young children. It is possible to divide all specialists into adult and child types due to the physiological as well as anatomical features of the organismic mechanism of young children.

What a urological physician diagnoses

You can give lists of pathological phenomena that can be diagnosed, conducted throughout the history of pathogenesis by a urologist in men:

• all inflammatory phenomena associated with the genitourinary organs - cystitis, urethritis;
• stone formation in the urethra;
• a consequence of injuries, neoplasms localized in the areas of the urea, as well as the urinary tract;
• pathological diseases, natural defects of the genital organ in a strong half of society;
• diseases associated with inflammation of the prostate gland;
• diseases of the renal system, also of the adrenal glands;
• reproductive infertility.

Urological science tends to belong to the ranks of surgical specialization. That is why, during an examination with a urological bias, a man will be able to undergo a detailed medical examination, having received all the necessary conclusions, as well as surgical methods of therapy.

How urologists are classified by group

All urological specialties in their areas tend to be divided into additional, narrower specialization:

• Urogynecological. A specialist in this area determines the methods of treatment of urogynecological ailments in the beautiful half of society. There are multiple groups of pathological phenomena, which are considered equally as urological and gynecological.
• Andrological, doctors of the field of andrology cure diseases of the strong half of the society. These include not only the inflammatory process that occurs in the genitourinary system, but also congenital defective development of the male genital organs.
• Pediatric urology. Consultations of pediatric urologists are necessary in case of a congenital defect of the genitourinary systems.
• Oncological urology. The aim of the latter is to search for, therapy of oncological processes of the urinary tract.
• Phthisiourology. Its purpose is to treat urological pathological phenomena with a tuberculous nature of the prostate gland, as well as kidney tuberculosis.
• Geriatric urology. It is a fairly extensive, complex area of urological sciences. Defines male therapy for older patients if their sexual health is out of order.

Emergency urology is also distinguished. Doctors specialize in providing emergency urinary tract surgery when conventional drug therapy cannot help.

How to properly prepare for an examination by a urologist

The procedure at the urologist's doctor involves a small but thorough preparation, which is differentiated for a man and a woman. In addition to general visual examinations, collection of analyzes, pictures of pathogenesis, doctors carry out other diagnostic methods by manipulation. Examination by a urologist draws people's attention to itself, since you need to prepare for it step by step for subsequent treatment.

For a man, in addition to hygienic care of the genitals, it is necessary:

• give up sexual intercourse for two days prior to the appointment of the general examination procedure;
• to carry out a cleansing enema. It is necessary to clear the rectum for the subsequent digital examination of the prostate transrectally. Examination by a urologist assumes a clean anus.

It must be remembered that an erection that may occur during a finger examination is not a cause for fear.A far worse thing would be a complete lack of erection. A cleansing enema is easily replaced by taking laxatives the day before the procedure.

Psychological preparation for a doctor's appointment

Of course, the feeling of excitement, both for a man and a woman in front of the doctor's office, is commonplace. How is an examination by a urologist, how will a doctor diagnose, how does he examine men? These questions plague patients, preventing them from visiting a urological healthcare professional, despite the fact that it is necessary.

The main recommendation of medical researchers is calmness. If it does not come, you need to take sedatives before going to a specialist. A trip to a urologist does not bode well for anything unnatural, since he begins all examinations with an ordinary dialogue. It is necessary to answer leading questions of a specialist with details to visualize the symptoms and further correct the diagnosis.

If a patient has chronic diseases, the doctor must know what course of drug therapy his patient undergoes on an ongoing basis. In addition, the specialist will examine the contents of the patient's outpatient card, review the availability of tests, with the results of which the man should come.

If a man comes to a urologist for the first time, he has not yet taken tests, the doctor will write a list that he must carefully go through. Some tests are scheduled on the spot, during the first examination.

According to its anatomy, the male prostate is tightly adjacent to the bladder with one side, while the other side is in direct contact with the rectum. Therefore, the only possible way to understand the size of the prostate gland is to examine it through the anus.

For a rectal examination, the patient leans on the back of the couch, leans forward. The specialist should insert a finger into the anus, feeling the prostate gland. The same method is used to massage the prostate.
