We are talking about the urinary system, which comprises two kidneys, two ureters that drain into one bladder, and one urethra.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nThe function of the urinary tract is to store urine and eliminate this fluid when it is necessary.

It is also a symptom of prostate cancer, urinary infections, and other ailments.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Burning sensation when urinating<\/strong>: This is the typical symptom of a urinary tract infection. They are uncommon in males and should be evaluated by a urologist if they are widespread in women. Still, a recurring urinary tract infection should be investigated promptly.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Increase in urinary frequency<\/strong>: This symptom is prevalent in men as they age. It is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/bph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">symptom of BPH<\/a> and usually wakes patients in the middle of the night to urinate. This is known as nocturia, and it is one of the earliest symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia. An increase in urinary frequency is also common in cases of infection.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Urinary incontinence<\/strong>: It is more common in women, sometimes associated with vaginal prolapse. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/urinary-incontinence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Urinary incontinence<\/a> may also appear in males with BPH.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Erectile dysfunction<\/strong>: It is also a frequent cause of visits to the urologist among males. The cause may range from psychological reasons to structural defects in the penis.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Fertility problems<\/strong>: Urologists are an appropriate specialist to start evaluating your fertility problems. If necessary, they may refer your case to a fertility clinic.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Testicular mass or pain<\/strong>: Sudden and severe testicular pain should be evaluated in the emergency room.

Early symptoms are usually disregarded because they are gradual in intensity. Thus, patients tend to get used to urinary symptoms and do not report them to the urologist. That&#8217;s why a male visit to the urologist is recommended after 50 years, especially if you have urinary symptoms.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nScreening with a urologist for prostate cancer is not usually required. You may talk to your family doctor about your prostate to make sure you&#8217;re on the right track. In most cases, urologists receive patients with an elevated PSA. This is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/can-stress-affect-psa-levels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prostate-specific antigen<\/a>, and it is a common test performed by primary care doctors.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"20px\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 id=\"what-to-expect-during-a-urology-visit\">What to expect during a urology visit?<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nDepending on your condition and the reason for your visit, a urologist may perform different exams.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nHistory taking is fundamental in urology.
