FAQs

Urology: common questions

How can I help prevent urinary infections?
Staying well hydrated and not holding urine for long periods can help. See a doctor if symptoms occur, as treatment depends on the cause.
Is blood in the urine always serious?
It has several causes, some minor and some serious, so it should always be checked by a doctor.
What does the creatinine test show?
Creatinine is a waste product that doctors measure when assessing kidney function. Results are interpreted along with other findings.
Do kidney stones always need surgery?
No. Many small stones pass on their own, and treatment depends on the size, position and symptoms. Your doctor will advise.
