A Urologist treat patients of both genders facing urinary problems as well as male reproductive issues and a andrologist can choose to specialize even further, treating only reproductive problems or only impotence and erectile dysfunction.
Routine investigations include Digital Rectal Exam (DRE), Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), Blood Tests, Creatinine and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Blood Test, Testosterone Blood Tests, Urinalysis, Urine Cultures, 24-Hour Urine Test and Imaging Techniques.
The typical symptoms include blood in urine, Poor Bladder Control, Painful Urination, Pain in the Lower Stomach, Side of Back, or Groin Region, Fallen Bladder Protrusion, Hernia, Male Sexual Problems, and a Overactive Bladder (OAB).
Not really, as all andrologists are surgeon urologists but the opposite is not true.
