What happens during an urologist’s appointment

An urologist interviews the patient, asks about symptoms and reviews data on previous examinations (if any). Afterwards, the doctor examines the patient, and, if necessary, prescribes additional investigations or tests. Having defined the issue, the urologist develops a treatment schedule and prescribes a follow-up appointment.

FAQ

When should I get a prostate cancer screening?

Prostate cancer is very common. In some countries, it ranks 2-3 after gastric cancer and lung cancer as the cause of death. The WHO recommends to begin annual prostate cancer screening at the age of 50. However, given the increase in early morbidity, we believe that you should begin at the age of 40-45 to be sure.

PSA test should be taken once a year (it should be taken more often in case of “borderline” indicators). A slight increase of PSA concentration (more than 4 ng/ml) may indicate prostatitis, while a higher concentration may indicate a malignant tumor.

It should be mentioned that prostate cancer in Russia is diagnosed late. This is specifically because men neglect routine checkups, and prostate cancer is treatable at early stages.
