What to expect at your first appointment
The urologist reviews your urinary symptom history and performs a physical exam focused on your complaint.
Depending on your case, they may order lab work, imaging, or, in older men, a prostate exam.
Based on the results, they'll explain the diagnosis and treatment, which may include medication, lifestyle changes, or, if needed, a procedure.
