Urology in Shimanouchi, Miyazaki

Reasons to visit

• Frequent or painful urination, or a feeling of incomplete emptying
• Difficulty passing urine or urine leakage
• Blood in the urine or recurring cystitis
• Sudden back or flank pain, or concerns about urinary stones
• A raised prostate-specific antigen (PSA) result at a health check
• Urethral discharge or concerns about a sexually transmitted infection

If you cannot pass any urine, have a high fever or develop altered consciousness, seek emergency care without waiting for clinic hours.

Conditions and patient information

We assess prostate enlargement and prostatitis, blood in the urine, urinary infections, frequent or difficult urination, urinary stones and urologic cancers. We discuss treatment or follow-up based on symptoms and findings, and coordinate referral when specialist testing or treatment is required.

A raised PSA result alone does not diagnose prostate cancer. We consider current and previous results together with the condition of the prostate and other findings.

Assessment and appropriate tests

We review when symptoms started, fever or pain, previous conditions and treatments, and current medicines before choosing tests.

• Urinalysis and, when needed, urine culture assess blood, signs of infection and the bacteria involved.
• Blood tests assess kidney function, inflammation and, when appropriate, PSA.
• Ultrasound, X-ray or CT is selected when needed to assess the urinary tract or stones.

A urine sample may be needed. If possible, arrive able to provide a sample, but do not endure severe pain to hold urine.
