Regular health checkups are a cornerstone of a healthy life. However, many people are unsure when to begin urological checkups. Since urological diseases often progress insidiously, early checkups are crucial for both diagnosis and treatment.
Why are Urological Checkups Important?
Urology deals with organs such as the kidneys, bladder, prostate, testicles, and urinary tract. Many diseases that can develop in these areas may not initially show any symptoms. Thanks to early check-ups:
– Kidney stones and infections are detected early.
– Prostate diseases and prostate cancer are detected early.
– Conditions that reduce quality of life, such as urinary incontinence and bladder problems, can be prevented.
– Awareness of sexual health and fertility issues increases.
At what age should one start?
For men
– Ages 20: Testicular examination (especially if there is a family history of testicular tumors)
– Ages 30–40: Urine analysis, kidney function tests, ultrasound examinations
– Ages 40 and over: Prostate examination and PSA test (recommended after age 40, especially for those with a family history of prostate cancer, and after age 45 for others)
For women
– At any age: If you experience frequent urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, or bladder problems, you should consult a urologist.
– Postmenopausal: Regular check-ups are recommended to monitor for bladder prolapse, urinary incontinence, and kidney dysfunction.
For children
Initial assessments regarding postnatal conditions such as circumcision, undescended testicles, and urinary tract anomalies should be performed by pediatric urologists. Testicular development and urinary tract health should be monitored during adolescence.
Even without symptoms, a check-up may be necessary.
Urological diseases often progress without symptoms. Therefore;
– Those with a family history of prostate, bladder, or kidney cancer.
– Those who experience frequent urinary tract infections
– Those who take medication long-term or have diabetes
He should have regular urological checkups.
