Also called: kidney stone and prostate specialist
Find a urologist
A urologist treats the urinary tract in men and women: the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. They also treat the male reproductive organs, including the prostate. Many conditions are treated with medicines; others with procedures such as stone removal. Urologists in India complete an MS in Surgery and then an MCh or DNB in Urology.

Frequently asked questions
Should I see a urologist or a nephrologist for a kidney problem?
A urologist treats problems such as stones, blockages and tumours, often with procedures. A nephrologist treats medical kidney disease, such as reduced kidney function. Your doctor can tell you which you need.
Is blood in the urine always serious?
Not always, but it should always be checked by a doctor, even if it happens only once and is not painful.
Does an enlarged prostate mean cancer?
No. An enlarged prostate (BPH) is common as men get older and is not cancer. The symptoms can overlap, though, so a urologist may suggest tests such as a PSA blood test.
How can I lower the chance of kidney stones coming back?
Drinking enough fluid through the day is the main advice. Your urologist may suggest diet changes based on the type of stone you had.
