A doctor that examines male private parts is called a Urologist.
Urologists specialize in conditions that affect the urinary system and the reproductive system in both men and women.
The male penis is part of both of these body systems.
A regular doctor can also examine the male private parts as well.
A urologist is a specialist doctor and surgeon who treats anyone with a problem with their kidneys, bladder, prostate and male reproductive organs.
These include a wide range of conditions, for example, cancer, kidney stones, infection, incontinence, sexual dysfunction and pelvic floor problems.
Men who have a family history of prostate, testicular, kidney, and other cancers should start seeing a urologist around the age of 40.
Your physician will do a complete medical history and screening exam to determine if you are at risk.
A Urologist performs procedures which include.
Vasectomy. This is a common urology procedure that many men get.
Vasectomy Reversal. If a man who has had a vasectomy decides he wants to try and father children again, a vasectomy reversal can be performed.
Cystoscopy.
Prostate Procedures.
Ureteroscopy.
Lithotripsy.
Orchiopexy.
Penile Plication.
The most common urine test performed is a urinalysis.
In fact, in most yearly physical exams, urinalyses are done even if there is no cause for concern.
Urologic diseases or conditions include urinary tract infections, kidney stones, bladder control problems, and prostate problems, among others.
Some urologic conditions last only a short time, while others are long-lasting.
A cystoscopy may be performed at a variety of medical facilities, including the doctor's office, an outpatient center or a hospital.
The procedure itself will take roughly five to 20 minutes.
It can take longer if the doctor needs to take a tissue sample or remove something from inside the bladder.
