Urologist :
A urologist is a certified super specialty doctor who is well versed in addressing and managing medical complaints related to urinary tract and associated organs. A urologist is also qualified to treat conditions affecting male reproductive system. Academic qualifications such as MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) and masters training MS (Master of Surgery) in Urology enables a urologist to acquire remarkable clinical knowledge and surgical skills. Routinely observed urological complaints which require immediate medical care include urinary tract infections, presence of blood or protein in urine, urinary or kidney stones, enlarged prostate, erectile dysfunction and infertility concerns. For a clear understanding of such conditions, a urologist conducts diagnostic labs and procedures like cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, prostate biopsy and imaging studies. They are qualified doctors to prescribe medications, and perform surgical management such as prostate surgery, bladder surgery, kidney stone removal, vasectomy and orchiectomy. A urologist also provides assisted reproductive technology services. They work as a team with other nephrologists, surgeons and physicians to ensure complete treatment and recovery of an individual's urological health.
