The diagnostic process in urology begins with a comprehensive evaluation planned according to the patient’s complaints. In this process, various clinical and imaging methods are used to reach the correct diagnosis.
The main methods used are:
- Physical examination
- Urinalysis and urine culture
- Blood tests (parameters such as PSA and creatinine)
- Ultrasonography
- Computed tomography (CT)
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Uroflowmetry (measurement of urine flow rate)
- Cystoscopy
- Urodynamic examinations
Thanks to these tests, the type, extent and degree of the disease are evaluated in detail, and the most suitable treatment plan is created.
