Are urology clinics only for men?
No, urology clinics provide care for both men and women. While some urological conditions are more common in men, such as prostate problems, urology clinics offer specialized care for various urinary and reproductive system issues in both genders.
What can I expect during my first visit to a urology clinic?
During your initial visit, a urologist will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and discuss your symptoms and concerns. They may order additional tests or imaging studies to aid in the diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Will I need a referral to see a urologist?
In many cases, a referral from a primary care physician is not necessary to see a urologist at a urology clinic. However, it's always best to check with your insurance provider and the specific clinic to determine if a referral is required.
