Urology is a medical specialty that examines the urinary tract of both men and women, as well as the male reproductive organs. It focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to organs such as the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, testicles, penis, scrotum, and prostate gland. These conditions fall within the expertise of urology clinics.
Urology specialists working in these clinics are physicians who have completed six years of medical education followed by five years of urology specialization training. As urology is also one of the surgical medical fields, urologists in these clinics may perform surgical interventions for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes when necessary.
In our urology departments, we diagnose and treat diseases and disorders related to the male reproductive and urinary systems caused by anatomical or physiological factors. Our expert medical staff and experienced healthcare personnel are dedicated to providing the highest quality care. Diseases diagnosed using advanced technology methods in our hospitals are treated through medical therapies, endoscopic applications, open or laparoscopic surgeries, and robotic surgery. Procedures such as kidney stone treatment with a camera system (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery - RIRS), minimally invasive kidney stone surgery (PNL system), and ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) are among the applications performed in our urology clinics. Additionally, our specialist medical team treats kidney cancers, adrenal gland diseases, ureteral diseases, and conditions affecting the bladder, prostate, and testicles.
Before determining the treatment plan, we apply various diagnostic methods, including:
Computed tomography (CT) combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles to create a three-dimensional image of soft tissues, blood vessels, and bones. During the procedure, the patient lies on a table while the CT scanner continuously rotates around them to capture images. For a clearer image, the patient should wear only a hospital gown and avoid any metal objects, as these can interfere with the imaging process. Additionally, the patient must remain still during the procedure to ensure clarity. Since CT scans emit high levels of radiation, they are not recommended for pregnant women or those who suspect pregnancy. CT is commonly used in urology clinics to visualize kidney, ureter, and bladder stones, detect tumors in the urinary system and male reproductive organs, and investigate trauma-related injuries.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that uses radio waves and magnetic fields to generate detailed images of organs and tissues. Unlike CT, MRI does not use radiation, making it a safer option for many patients, including pregnant women if deemed necessary by a physician. MRI is frequently used in urology to diagnose and monitor conditions such as prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia, as well as other cancers affecting the urinary system and male reproductive organs. Since metal objects can interfere with the magnetic field, patients should remove all metallic items before the procedure and wear only a hospital gown or metal-free undergarments.
Ultrasound is a widely used imaging technique for examining internal organs, especially those located in the abdominal cavity. It is frequently used in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases and in biopsy procedures. Ultrasound has no known harmful effects on the body and is commonly used to monitor fetal development during pregnancy. In urology clinics, different ultrasound methods are applied:
Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS): Used for detecting prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Urinary Ultrasound (USG): Used for diagnosing various urinary system diseases.
Doppler Ultrasound (Doppler USG): Used to examine blood vessels in tumors and similar structures within the urinary and reproductive organs.
Urodynamic testing is used to measure bladder functions by recording events occurring during urination using a computer. The bladder is filled with fluid through a catheter, and the results are analyzed by specialists to diagnose bladder-related diseases. The test also provides information on urinary tract infections and can be used to diagnose complications that may arise after prostate disease treatments. Urodynamic testing is commonly performed for patients experiencing frequent urination, urinary incontinence, or difficulty urinating.
Voiding cystourethrography is a medical imaging technique in which a contrast agent is introduced into the bladder via a catheter, allowing visualization of the bladder and urinary tracts during urination. This method is primarily used to detect vesicoureteral reflux, a condition in which urine flows backward from the bladder into the ureters. If left untreated, this condition can lead to kidney complications. Since metal objects can interfere with X-ray imaging, patients should ensure they are free of metallic items before undergoing the procedure.
Blood and urine tests are commonly used in urology clinics for diagnostic purposes. Changes in blood and urine composition provide valuable insights into a patient’s condition and help guide treatment decisions. Routine laboratory tests include sperm analysis, tumor marker evaluations, bacterial and viral screenings, and assessments of various proteins and enzymes. Additionally, samples taken from other body regions may be analyzed in specialized laboratories for further investigation of urological diseases.
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate gland that helps regulate semen fluidity. A small amount of PSA circulates in the bloodstream, and abnormal prostate function can affect PSA levels. An increased PSA level in the blood often indicates a prostate-related disorder. The PSA test involves analyzing a blood sample in a laboratory and can be performed regardless of whether the patient is fasting or not. It is commonly used in the evaluation of prostate diseases.
A prostate biopsy involves extracting a tissue sample from the prostate using specialized medical equipment. While the PSA test and tumor markers provide useful information about prostate diseases, the most definitive diagnosis of prostate cancer is made through biopsy analysis. The extracted tissue is examined under a microscope by a pathologist to determine the presence of cancer. Since early diagnosis plays a crucial role in treatment, all patients exhibiting symptoms of prostate cancer should undergo a biopsy without delay.
If you are experiencing any symptoms related to urological diseases, suspect a condition requiring medical attention, or wish to have a routine urological examination, we encourage you to visit our urology clinics. Our specialists will conduct thorough examinations and diagnostic tests to identify any potential health concerns and initiate the appropriate treatment plan to prevent more serious complications in the future.

Treatments are planned individually. You need to share information about your treatment with us so that we can provide you with correct planning. In particular, your photographs, x-rays, tests and previous health information are necessary for us to help you. After your information reaches us, your health consultant will contact you as soon as possible.
Urology is the medical specialty that deals with diseases and conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as the male reproductive system.
You should see a urologist if you experience symptoms like frequent urination, painful urination, blood in urine, difficulty urinating, kidney stones, or sexual dysfunction.
A urologist will typically review your medical history, discuss symptoms, perform a physical exam, and may order tests like urine analysis, ultrasound, or imaging scans.
Frequent urination can be caused by infections, overactive bladder, diabetes, kidney disease, or prostate problems.
Symptoms include a burning sensation during urination, frequent urge to urinate, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and lower abdominal pain.
Kidney stones form when minerals and salts in the urine crystallize and stick together, often due to dehydration, diet, or metabolic disorders.
Drinking plenty of water, reducing salt intake, avoiding excessive protein, and maintaining a balanced diet can help prevent kidney stones.
BPH is an enlarged prostate, common in older men, which can cause difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, or frequent nighttime urination.
Symptoms may include difficulty urinating, weak or interrupted urine flow, blood in urine, and pelvic discomfort, but early stages may be asymptomatic.
Treatments include oral medications (e.g., Viagra, Cialis), lifestyle changes, vacuum devices, hormone therapy, and surgical implants.
