Urology Surgery FAQ

Is urology surgery for men and women?
Both men and women can be treated by a urologist and undergo urology surgery to treat any conditions they might face related to the bladder, urinary tract, and kidneys. While urology surgeons diagnose and treat conditions related to the male reproductive tract, they also treat problems that women face, such as urinary incontinence, chronic urinary tract infections, kidney problems, and pelvic floor prolapse.
When should I consider urology surgery?
Common symptoms that may indicate the need for urology surgery or urology care include trouble or pain when urinating, pelvic pain, trouble maintaining or getting an erection, and infertility in men. A urologist can likely diagnose your condition and determine if surgical treatment is the appropriate action. All surgeries carry some level of risk, and your physician will be able to help you weigh the potential benefits of all your options.
How long does it take to recover from urology surgery?
The recovery timeframe following urology surgery will depend on the type of surgery you undergo and your overall health and wellness. Most patients can return to their normal activities approximately 2 – 3 weeks following their procedure, provided they continue to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for around six weeks. Your surgical team will go over any post-operative instructions with you to help ensure you recover and heal well.
Is urology surgery covered by insurance?
Your urology surgery may be covered in part by your medical insurance plan. Prior to your procedure, we strongly encourage you to contact your insurance company in order to fully understand your benefits and review your coverage.
