Urological examinations
Diseases or functional disorders of certain organs or organ systems require examination by specialists.
A urologist specializes in diseases of the kidneys, urinary bladder, ureters, urethra, testicles, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, penis and prostate. These specialists have extensive expertise and the necessary equipment to reliably diagnose, treat or rule out diseases of these organs.
Urology
Urology is the branch of medicine that deals with the urine-producing organs and urinary tract of both sexes as well as the male reproductive organs.
Early detection for successful treatments and chances of cure.
Equally important are urogynecological examinations, which deal with the urinary organs and pelvic floor structures of women. A urogynecologist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of functional disorders and diseases such as urinary incontinence, prolapse problems and other pelvic floor disorders. Here, too, early detection plays a decisive role in successful treatment and the chances of cure.
Only 15-20%* of men aged 45 and over
take part in the screening program
for prostate cancer.
A visit to the urologist or urogynecologist is difficult for many patients.
For example, only 15-20% of men aged 45 and over take part in the screening program for prostate cancer. This is probably due to the fact that many urological and urogynecological examinations affect the private sphere and there is concern that examinations in these sensitive areas could be painful.
We hope that the chapter “Urological and urogynecological examinations”, with its detailed explanations, will help to dispel unnecessary concerns and fears and increase receptiveness towards these specialist areas. Take the opportunity to do a lot for your health with little effort. Bear in mind that early detection of many diseases has a significant impact on treatment options and the chances of cure.
