Urology in Szeged at the Korda Clinic

Urology

It's not something we like to talk about, but there are some symptoms that should not be ignored for the sake of our health. For example, urinating too often or in pain, discoloured urine, problems with urinary retention (urinary incontinence), pain in the lower back (pyelonephritis) or sexual complaints (such as erectile dysfunction). These are often urological and if you seek professional help early, you can prevent them from becoming more serious. In Szeged, at the Korda Clinic, we perform urological examinations under discreet conditions, with empathy and using modern methods.

What symptoms might indicate a urological problem?

Some people put off going to the doctor for too long because they are uncomfortable or embarrassed to talk about their symptoms, or they don't seem severe enough. But behind some of the seemingly small signs there may be a more serious urological problem. For example, frequent urination, burning sensation when urinating, discolouration or unusual smell of urine, or difficulty passing urine. In men, a weakening of the urinary stream (prostatic hyperplasia - BPH), tenderness of the testicles, a palpable lump or sexual dysfunction may also be a reason to consult a specialist.

If you would like more information about urological testing options, you should make an appointment Dr. Tamás Oroszi urologist.

What are the most common urological diseases?

Urology is concerned with diseases of the urinary tract and male genital organs. Although they can be unpleasant to talk about and some symptoms can be frightening, fortunately most of them can be treated well if you see a doctor as soon as possible. Here are some common problems we can help with:

  • Urinary tract infections (infectio tractus urinarii): are among the most common complaints, characterised by a burning sensation, frequent urination and abdominal pain. They are caused by bacteria that can be treated with antibiotics.
  • Urinary retention disorder: affects not only older people. It can also occur after childbirth, prostate surgery or neurological disorders and fortunately there are now many treatment options.
  • Pprostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia - BPH): typically occurs over the age of 50, can cause urinary difficulties, frequent urination at night.
  • Bladder inflammation (cystitis): common, especially in women, with burning sensation and abdominal pain when urinating. It can be effectively treated with antibiotics, but recurrent cases may require further investigation.
  • Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis): A kidney stone is a solid, crystalline substance that forms in the kidney and can block the urinary tract. It can cause a sudden, sharp, cramping pain called kidney spasm. Kidney stones can be seen clearly by ultrasound and in some cases can be treated with medication without surgery.
  • Kidney cancer (urolithiasis): Repeated or persistent presence of kidney stones in the urinary tract. This condition can often cause recurrent complaints, urinary tract infections or even kidney dysfunction. It may also be caused by metabolic disorders, inadequate fluid intake or an inherited predisposition. Kidney cancer requires long-term treatment and preventive measures such as diet. Planning a diet with adequate nutrients Nikolett Nagy our dietician can help you.
  • Inflammation of the kidney (pyelonephritis): often presents with fever, chills, lower back pain and pungent urine. The underlying cause is a bacterial infection that can be treated with antibiotics. As this disease can also damage the kidneys, a urologist should be consulted as soon as symptoms appear. Dr. Tamás Oroszi urologist with more than three decades of experience to help you navigate the world of urological complaints - you can turn to him with confidence if you're looking for a thorough, understanding specialist.
  • Developmental disorders of the testicles: are mostly diagnosed in childhood, but can also cause complaints or fertility problems in adulthood. In some cases, surgical correction may be necessary.
  • Prostate cancer (prostate carcinoma): is one of the most common cancers affecting men. It is often asymptomatic, but early detection (e.g. PSA testing) can save lives.
  • Testicular cancer (testicular tumour): is relatively rare, but mainly occurs in younger men. A lump in the testicle may be the first sign.
  • Bladder tumour (bladder cancer - carcinoma vesicae urinariae): is characterised by painless, recurrent bloody urine. Investigation may include bladder ultrasonography, but early detection is also crucial.
  • Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate): may be acute or chronic, with painful urination, pain in the stomach, fever. It can also be caused by bacteria, but in the chronic form the cause is often complex.
  • Erectile dysfunction (erectile dysfunction): if the erection is unsatisfactory or not long-lasting, it can be caused by physical (circulatory, hormonal) or psychological problems. Quality of life can be improved by examination and appropriate treatment.

How is the test done?

The first step in a urological examination is a discreet discussion: our doctor will ask you about your complaints, past medical conditions and what symptoms you are experiencing. This is followed by a physical examination, which may, if necessary, include a check of the abdomen, the lower back or, in men, the prostate and testicles. The examination may also include urine and blood tests and ultrasound imaging. This is a painless, quick procedure that gives an accurate picture of the urinary tract and genitals.

It's important to bring any previous medical records with you and, if possible, do not empty your bladder before the test - this will give us a more accurate picture of your condition.

How can we help?

At the Korda Clinic, we not only diagnose, but also provide comprehensive care. Our specialist Dr. Tamás Oroszi - has many years of experience at our patients' disposal. Our aim is not only to treat the symptoms, but also to identify the causes and offer solutions that will help in the long term. Whether it's drug therapy, lifestyle advice or further tests if necessary, we always provide personalised advice.

Catheter replacement

In some cases (e.g. urinary retention, after surgery, elderly urological problems), prolonged catheter use may be necessary. In these cases, regular catheter replacement in a sterile environment is essential. Prolonged catheter use poses a constant risk of infection and can cause urinary tract inflammation, stone formation and irritation if not replaced properly.

At Korda Clinic, you can have your catheter professionally changed in a hygienic environment by an experienced urologist. The procedure is quick, takes only a few minutes, and can help prevent infections and maintain a sense of comfort.

If you need a catheter change regularly, you should book an appointment Dr. Tamás Oroszi urologist, who performs the procedure discreetly and professionally.

What happens after diagnosis?

We will continue to monitor your condition after treatment. We will help you to arrange further tests, interpret your findings and support you every step of the way to make sure you are aware of your health situation. You can also rely on us if you need lifestyle advice or if you need to involve other specialists, for example dietician for consultation or for laboratory testing.
