Ironwood Urology’s Blog

Just like every woman has a gynecologist, every man should have a urologist. Urologists monitor, diagnose, and treat issues of not only the urinary tract but also the male reproductive system, and they are highly trained to practice men’s healthcare from prostate issues to urinary issues.

Urologists are specialists that diagnose and treat issues affecting the urinary tract and its surrounding area. They treat kidney and bladder problems.

Kidney stones are excess minerals clumped together in your kidney. These stones can be small enough to cause no inconveniences or be large enough to cause lower back pain. If you experience any symptoms, you should visit a urologist.

Urologists and urological surgeons do a lot more than just treat the urinary tract. They also perform vasectomies, reverse vasectomies, and penile implant treatments to help men with their sexual health.

When men visit their doctors, they may feel too awkward to ask about or discuss specific concerns. Thankfully, urologists are accustomed to answering uncomfortable questions, as this is their field of specialty – particularly men’s health.
