Urologist — what to know

A urologist deals with the kidneys, the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. People see one for pain or burning when urinating, frequent or difficult urination, blood in the urine, kidney stones, and — men — for a prostate check-up.

What happens at the visit

The urologist asks about your complaints and examines your abdomen and genitals; for men the examination may include the prostate. When needed, they order a urine test, blood tests and an ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder.

Before the visit

Bring an identity document, the results of earlier tests and any discharge summaries, and a list of the medicines you take.

Bring your latest urine and blood tests and earlier ultrasounds. For a bladder ultrasound, ask whether you should come with a full bladder.

Visits paid by НЗОК (NHIF)

A specialist visit paid by НЗОК (NHIF) usually needs a referral from your GP; a referral is valid for 30 days. A paid visit is possible without one. Whether the doctor sees НЗОК patients, which health funds they work with and the price are on their profile.
