What is a urologist?

Urologists diagnose and treat disorders of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate and male reproductive organs. They are specialists who can treat conditions ranging from kidney stones to cancer. As a minimum, they will have gained a 5-year undergraduate degree in medicine, but it’s likely they’ll have completed additional specialist training too.

When should you see a urologist?

Your GP can typically diagnose and treat urinary tract conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs) – most comment in women. However, if you have recurrent UTIs or symptoms of a more serious condition, you’ll likely be referred to a specialist urologist.

Common symptoms of urology conditions include, but are not limited to:

  • Back and groin pain
  • Blood in your urine
  • Frequent need to urinate
  • Pain when passing urine
  • An inability to control your bladder

If you suspect a problem with your kidneys or bladder, make an appointment with your GP. They can then refer you to a specialist urologist. Alternatively, you can book an appointment with a private urologist listed on Medstars.

What does a urologist treat?

Urologists treat a range of conditions in both men and women of all ages, including:

  • Kidney and bladder stones
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • Incontinence
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Haematuria (blood in the urine)
  • Urological cancer (prostate, bladder, kidney or testicular)

What types of procedures does a urologist perform?

Common procedures include:

  • Kidney and bladder stone removal
  • Surgery to remove the bladder, kidney or prostate to treat cancer
  • Cystoscopy (a procedure to look inside the bladder using a thin camera)
  • Vasectomy (male sterilisation)

Some procedures will require a stay in hospital whilst others will allow you to return home on the same day.

How to find a good urologist?

If you’re searching for a urologist, you can use our directory of urologists.

There are a variety of steps you can take to ensure you pick the right urologist for you:

  • Credentials –  you can confirm any UK surgeon’s credentials and experience by checking the GMC specialist register. The register allows you to find out where they studied, when they first qualified and their practice history.
  • Location – accessibility to your surgeon is vital. We recommend someone who practises close to where you live so you can easily attend regular appointments if necessary.
  • Consultation – after determining a shortlist, you can have a consultation with each doctor. This should give you a feel for how you would work with them, helping you to decide which urology surgeon to work with.

How much does a private urologist cost?

The cost of an initial consultation with a private urologist varies based on the individual rate of each medical professional. However, on average, private urologists tend to charge between £200 and £300 for the first consultation.
