When Should You See a Urology Specialist?

A Urology Specialist evaluates conditions affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, prostate, male reproductive organs, and urinary function in both adults and children.

Consider booking a urology assessment if you experience:

• Pain or burning during urination
• Difficulty starting or maintaining urine flow
• A weak urinary stream
• Frequent urination
• Urgent need to urinate
• Waking repeatedly at night to urinate
• Blood in the urine
• Recurrent urinary infections
• Pain in the side, back, or groin
• Known kidney or urinary stones
• Urinary leakage or loss of bladder control
• Prostate-related symptoms
• Erectile or ejaculation problems
• Male infertility concerns
• Testicular or scrotal swelling
• Urinary concerns affecting a child

These symptoms can have different causes. A urological assessment helps establish the diagnosis before treatment is recommended.

When Is Urgent Urology Care Needed?

Some urological symptoms should be assessed promptly.

Seek urgent medical care for:

• Sudden severe testicular pain
• Complete inability to urinate
• Severe urinary or flank pain with fever
• Significant bleeding in the urine
• Serious injury involving the urinary or genital system
• Rapidly worsening urinary symptoms with significant illness

For emergencies, patients should use Turkish Hospital’s Emergency Department rather than wait for a routine clinic appointment.

Urology Care for Adults and Children

Our Urology Clinic provides urological assessment and treatment for adult and pediatric patients.

Adult care includes prostate conditions, urinary stones, urinary incontinence, bladder problems, sexual dysfunction, infertility, and selected urological cancers.

Pediatric urology focuses on congenital and acquired conditions affecting the urinary and genital systems from infancy through childhood.

This all-ages coverage allows families to access specialist urological assessment according to the patient’s age and individual condition.

Prostate Health and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Prostate Enlargement | BPH

Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, is non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that can affect urination, particularly as men get older.

Symptoms may include:

• Weak urine flow
• Difficulty starting urination
• Frequent urination
• Urgency
• Night-time urination
• Feeling that the bladder has not emptied completely

Our Urology Clinic provides assessment and medical or surgical treatment for urinary problems associated with prostate enlargement.

Treatment is selected according to symptoms, prostate findings, urinary function, and the patient’s overall health.

TUR Procedures for Prostate Conditions

Transurethral procedures allow selected prostate conditions to be treated through the urinary passage without a conventional external surgical incision.

Our urology services include TUR procedures for selected prostate conditions when surgical treatment is appropriate.

The Urology Specialist determines whether a transurethral procedure, medical management, or another treatment approach is most suitable.

Prostate Cancer and Prostate Infections

Prostate assessment can include evaluation for prostate cancer risk as well as diagnosis and treatment of prostate infections and other prostate conditions.

Our services include:

• Prostate health assessment
• Prostate cancer screening where clinically appropriate
• Evaluation of suspected prostate disease
• Management of prostate infections
• Urological cancer assessment and treatment planning

Screening decisions should be individualized according to age, medical history, symptoms, risk factors, and discussion with the specialist.

Kidney and Urinary Stone Treatment

Urinary stones can develop in the kidneys or other parts of the urinary tract and may cause severe pain, urinary symptoms, bleeding, or obstruction.

Our Urology Department provides both endoscopic and minimally invasive treatment for selected stone conditions.

Treatment options include:

• Ureteroscopy
• Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
• Endoscopic stone procedures
• Surgical treatment when required

When Should You See a Urologist for Kidney Stones?

Symptoms that may require assessment include:

• Severe pain in the side or back
• Pain moving toward the groin
• Blood in the urine
• Pain during urination
• Persistent nausea or vomiting with urinary pain
• Recurrent urinary stones
• A stone diagnosed on imaging

Severe pain with fever or significant illness requires urgent assessment because obstruction combined with infection can be serious.

Ureteroscopy

Ureteroscopy is an endoscopic procedure that allows the urologist to examine and treat selected stones or other conditions within the ureter and urinary tract.

A thin instrument is passed through the natural urinary pathway, allowing treatment without a conventional external incision.

Whether ureteroscopy is appropriate depends on the location, size, and characteristics of the stone or other urinary problem.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy | PCNL

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, commonly called PCNL, is a minimally invasive procedure used for selected kidney stones that require direct access to the kidney.

The procedure is performed through a small access tract rather than a large conventional incision.

The choice between PCNL, ureteroscopy, another intervention, or conservative management depends on stone size, location, anatomy, symptoms, and other clinical factors.

Female Urology

Female urology focuses on urinary conditions affecting women, including different forms of urinary incontinence and selected bladder disorders.

Our services include assessment and treatment for:

• Stress urinary incontinence
• Urge urinary incontinence
• Bladder-control problems
• Interstitial cystitis
• Other selected urinary symptoms

Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is involuntary leakage of urine and can occur for different reasons.

Stress incontinence may occur with activities such as coughing, sneezing, or physical movement, while urge incontinence is associated with a sudden strong need to urinate.

An accurate diagnosis is important because different types of incontinence require different treatment approaches.

When Should You Seek Treatment?

Consider a urology assessment if urinary leakage:

• Happens repeatedly
• Interferes with exercise or daily activities
• Affects sleep
• Causes embarrassment or limits social activities
• Occurs with urgency or difficulty emptying the bladder

Urodynamic Assessment

Urodynamic testing evaluates how the bladder stores and releases urine and can help identify the cause of selected urinary-control and voiding problems.

Our urodynamic services support the assessment of:

• Urinary incontinence
• Difficulty urinating
• Bladder-control problems
• Night-time wetting in selected children
• Urinary problems associated with neurological conditions
• Bladder dysfunction in patients with myelodysplasia or spina bifida

The specific testing required depends on the patient’s symptoms and medical condition.

Andrology and Male Sexual Health

Andrology focuses on male reproductive and sexual-health conditions, including erectile dysfunction, ejaculation problems, and male infertility.

Our urology team evaluates and manages:

• Erectile dysfunction
• Ejaculatory problems
• Male infertility
• Related male reproductive-health concerns

Where appropriate, care may be coordinated with other medical specialties as part of a broader assessment.

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is persistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual activity.

It can have several possible causes, including vascular, neurological, hormonal, medication-related, psychological, or other health factors.

A urological assessment can help determine which factors may be contributing before treatment is planned.

Male Infertility

Male infertility can be related to sperm production, reproductive anatomy, hormonal factors, previous illness, or other causes.

Evaluation is individualized, and additional specialist or laboratory assessment may be recommended depending on the findings.

Pediatric Urology

Pediatric urology addresses congenital and acquired conditions affecting the urinary and genital systems of babies and children.

Our pediatric urological care includes:

• Hydrocele
• Spermatic cord cysts
• Undescended testes
• Circumcision
• Acute scrotal conditions
• Testicular torsion
• Hypospadias
• Night-time wetting
• Urinary-control problems
• Selected congenital urinary conditions

Undescended Testicle

An undescended testicle occurs when one or both testes have not moved into their expected position in the scrotum.

Children with this condition require appropriate assessment to determine whether observation or surgical treatment is needed.

Testicular Torsion and Acute Scrotal Pain

Sudden severe testicular or scrotal pain can be a medical emergency.

Testicular torsion occurs when the spermatic cord twists and reduces blood supply to the testicle.

A child or adult with sudden severe testicular pain should receive urgent medical assessment rather than wait for a routine appointment.

Hypospadias Surgery

Hypospadias is a congenital condition in which the opening of the urethra is located on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip.

Our pediatric urology services include surgical correction of:

• Primary hypospadias
• Selected previously operated cases requiring further corrective surgery

Treatment planning depends on the anatomy, severity of the condition, previous procedures, and individual surgical assessment.

Urological Cancer Care

Urological cancers can involve organs such as the prostate, bladder, kidneys, or other parts of the urinary and male reproductive systems.

Our Urology Department provides assessment and treatment planning for selected urological cancers.

Under Dr. Loay Farasin’s care, patients can also benefit from his documented specialist training in uro-oncology, including a Fellowship in Medical Uro-Oncology.

Treatment depends on the type and stage of disease and may require coordination with Radiology, Laboratory Medicine, Oncology-related services, or other specialties.

Bladder Conditions and TUR Procedures

Bladder conditions can cause symptoms such as blood in the urine, changes in urinary frequency, discomfort, or difficulty emptying the bladder.

Our urology services include transurethral procedures for selected bladder conditions when clinically appropriate.

The need for a procedure is determined after specialist assessment and appropriate diagnostic investigation.

Minimally Invasive and Endoscopic Urology

Endourology uses small endoscopic instruments passed through natural urinary pathways or small access points to diagnose and treat selected urological conditions.

Our services include:

• Ureteroscopy
• PCNL
• TUR procedures
• Endoscopic urinary-stone treatment
• Other minimally invasive urological procedures according to the diagnosis

These approaches can reduce the need for larger conventional surgical incisions in suitable patients.

What to Expect at Your Urology Appointment

A Urology consultation begins with understanding your symptoms, medical history, urinary or reproductive-health concerns, and any previous investigations or treatments.

Your appointment may include:

• Discussion of urinary symptoms
• Review of previous medical conditions
• Review of medications
• Examination where appropriate
• Review of laboratory results
• Review of ultrasound, CT, or other imaging
• Assessment of urinary function
• Discussion of further diagnostic tests
• Review of medical and surgical treatment options

For some conditions, additional testing such as urodynamic assessment, imaging, laboratory investigation, or endoscopic examination may be recommended.

Bring previous test results, scans, medication lists, and relevant medical reports if available.
