A first visit includes a detailed medical and urologic history, a physical exam (which may include a prostate exam for men), and a urine sample. The urologist may order imaging (ultrasound, CT scan) or schedule a cystoscopy (a scope to look inside the bladder) depending on your symptoms. They will explain findings and discuss treatment options ranging from lifestyle changes and medication to surgical procedures.
Many Boulder primary care providers offer longer appointment times than the national average. If you are coming from a larger city, you may notice a more conversational style of care. Bring any records from previous providers, since practices here often coordinate through fax rather than shared EHR systems.
See a urologist for blood in your urine, frequent or painful urination, difficulty starting or stopping urination, kidney stones, recurrent urinary tract infections, prostate concerns (elevated PSA, enlargement), erectile dysfunction, male infertility, testicular lumps or pain, or urinary incontinence. Your primary care doctor may refer you after initial testing.
