What exactly does a urologist do? 🤔
We do far more than prostate exams.�
Urologists diagnose, treat and help prevent conditions that affect:
💧 Your kidneys and bladder — from stones and infections to bladder control issues.
💪 Your prostate and testicles — including prostate enlargement, cancer screening and testicular health.
❤️ Your reproductive and sexual health — from fertility challenges to erectile dysfunction and hormonal issues.

We’re here to make sure your urinary system, reproductive system and overall men’s health stay in top shape, not just when something feels wrong, but to prevent problems before they start.

A visit to your urologist isn’t something to feel awkward about; it’s one of the most responsible things you can do for your health and peace of mind.�Because early conversations lead to early detection… and early detection saves lives. 💙

Urological problems can affect men of all ages.
Many men think these issues only happen later in life, but conditions like testicular cancer, infections, or fertility problems can appear much earlier.

Regular check-ups not only help catch problems before they become serious, they also give you peace of mind and control over your health. 💙
