Urology at ZDRAVO — professional care for adults and children

Urology is a branch of medicine that covers the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the urinary system in women and men, as well as the reproductive system in men. At the ZDRAVO private clinic in Mykolaiv, urological care is provided to patients of all ages. Consultations are conducted by experienced urologists of the highest category.

ZDRAVO urologists not only treat diseases, but also help in their early detection, control of chronic conditions and restoration of organ functions. We combine an evidence-based approach, modern diagnostics, and a friendly attitude towards each patient.

When should you see a urologist?

A professional consultation with a urologist is necessary not only in cases of acute symptoms, but also for regular preventive examinations, especially if you have had problems with your genitourinary system in the past.

In men, the following symptoms are cause for concern:

• pain, burning or stinging when urinating;
• weak or intermittent urine stream;
• frequent urination at night;
• blood in urine or semen;
• pain in the perineum, scrotum or suprapubic area;
• erectile dysfunction.

In women, the reasons for seeking medical attention are:

• pain in the lower back or lower abdomen;
• discomfort during urination;
• urinary incontinence, frequent urges;
• feeling of incomplete bladder emptying;
• frequent urinary tract infections.

Even one of the listed symptoms is a good reason to see a urologist. Timely examination allows you to avoid complications and recover your health faster.

What diseases does a urologist treat?

The ZDRAVO clinic diagnoses and treats the following urological diseases:

• Cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis — both acute and chronic inflammation of the urinary system;
• Prostatitis, prostate adenoma — the most common diseases in men over 40;
• Erectile dysfunction — including examination of vascular and hormonal disorders;
• Urolithiasis — diagnosis and observation, choice of treatment tactics;
• Urinary incontinence — in women, men and children;
• Kidney diseases — including those associated with obstruction or infection;
• STDs — sexually transmitted infections (gonorrhoea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, HPV);
• Diseases of the external genital organs — including phimosis, hydrocele, and hydrocele.

Examination methods and procedural treatment

During the initial consultation with a urologist, the doctor conducts an interview, physical examination and prescribes basic diagnostics. All necessary instrumental and laboratory methods are available at the ZDRAVO clinic:

• Ultrasound of the prostate gland, kidneys, bladder;
• Urine analysis (including urgent during the appointment);
• Urogenital smear collection;
• Rectal examination of the prostate (if indicated);
• Bladder catheterisation in men;
• Prostate massage;
• Extended laboratory diagnosis of STDs;
• Assessment of hormonal background in cases of sexual dysfunction.

Depending on the results, the patient receives an individual treatment plan: medication, physiotherapy or surgery (if necessary, with a referral to a urologist-surgeon).

Online urologist consultation

With today's busy lifestyle, it is not always possible to visit the clinic in person. That is why ZDRAVO offers online urologist consultations — a convenient format for initial consultations or follow-up appointments. During the online appointment, the doctor will analyse your complaints, study the results of tests or examinations (if available), and give recommendations on further steps or refer you for an in-person appointment. An online consultation does not replace a physical examination, but it is an effective way to avoid delays in diagnosis.
