What is Urology?
We Know that Urology is also called genitourinary surgery. It is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the male and female urinary tract system and the male reproductive organs. It also deals with the male organs that can make babies (penis, testes, scrotum, prostate, etc.). Since health problems in these body parts can happen to everyone, urologic health is important.
When is the right time to consult a urologist?
We know that consultation with a urologist is inconvenient, and embarrassing to lots of people, especially for the young generation. Many people face the problem but hesitate to show it to a urologist that can cause many problems. Dr. Yogesh Torkadi (Urologist, Uro-Oncologist, Andrologist & Kidney Transplant Surgeon) has identified this problem and create awareness in the community about urological health and disease.
He guided people on “when is the right time to consult with a urologist?”
- All mild urinary problems like urinary tract infections (UTI) to severe ailments like cancer.

Also, the urologist may want to check blood counts, kidney function, or test PSA (prostate-specific antigen) or testosterone levels. Your urologist may order imaging studies. This can include sonography of the kidneys, the bladder, and/or the prostate; or an imaging scan to visualize specific organs.
What Can I Expect in a Visit?
Dr. Yogesh Torkadi understands the patient’s embarrassment in the first visit. Your first appointment with a urologist may not be different from a visit with your primary doctor. You’ll fill out forms and answer questions about your health history, current symptoms, and any medicines you take.
The urologist will do a physical exam that includes a genital and rectal exam. They may also order blood work or imaging tests, like a CT scan or ultrasound, for a closer look at your organs.
