Urology Second Opinion

Urology

Urology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and conditions affecting the urinary tract. Urologists treat both men and women, although the field is more well known for its affiliation with the male reproductive system and prostate cancer.

Urologists (for men and women) treat kidney stones, bladder conditions, uretha conditions, incontinence, pelvic prolapse, and urinary tract infections. Most of these conditions, while unpleasant, are not life threatening. However, prostate, bladder, and testicular cancers are more serious, even life threatening. Diagnostic testing include urinalysis, blood tests, x-rays, ultrasound, CTs, MRIs, PET scans, and endoscopies.

According to the American Cancer Society, about 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lives¹. In terms of mortality, around 35,250 men are expected to die from prostate cancer in 2024². But the prognosis for prostate cancer is generally favorable when diagnosed early, with a 5-year relative survival rate of over 99% for cases detected at localized stages³.
The importance of early detection and screening in managing and treating prostate cancer has an impact on outcomes and for these reasons, a second opinion matters.
