Want a quick and comfortable diagnosis of urinary system diseases? Get an ultrasound

Do you have problems related to the urinary system? Have you experienced severe pain in the lumbar region or alarming changes in the way and appearance of your urine?

Purpose of the procedure

Ultrasound examination – an indispensable element of diagnostics and treatment monitoring of urinary system diseases

We encourage prevention – an ultrasound is a short and painless imaging test that can protect against the consequences of ignoring minor problems of abnormal urinary system function, which ultimately become serious ailments

What the procedure entails?

Ultrasound examination in urology involves viewing the image of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, and prostate gland using a gel-moistened probe. During the examination, the patient is usually lying on their back, but the doctor may ask for a change in position at any time to better visualize the evaluated organ

  • Kidney stones

 

Bladder ultrasound:

  • Urination disorders
  • Recurrent urinary tract infections
  • Bladder stones
  • Hematuria
  • Assessment of residual urine after urination

Preparation for the procedure

Procedure process

Kidney, bladder, and testicular ultrasound:

  • The doctor moves the ultrasound probe over the skin surface, imaging the examined organs

 

Transrectal prostate ultrasound (TRUS):
