Urgent Urology Consultation
Acute problems affecting the urinary tract, male genitalia, or anus often occur suddenly and can be very distressing. Our urgent care clinic offers prompt medical evaluation when symptoms require immediate attention.
Many urological and proctological symptoms are unpleasant, but easily treatable. However, early medical evaluation is crucial so that potential causes can be identified in time.
For acute symptoms, you have the option of using our acute consultation service after prior telephone registration. This takes place from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m.
When you should visit an urgent urological or proctological consultation
Certain complaints should be investigated promptly. These include, but are not limited to, the following situations:
Blood in the urine
If urine turns reddish or brownish, it should always be medically examined. Blood in the urine can have various causes – for example, infections, kidney stones, or changes in the bladder or urinary tract. Early diagnosis helps to quickly identify possible causes.
Severe flank or lower abdominal pain
Sudden, severe pain in the back, flank, or lower abdomen can indicate a kidney stone. This pain often radiates to the groin and occurs in waves. A urological examination can help determine the cause and initiate appropriate treatment.
Burning sensation during urination and frequent urge to urinate
Painful urination, frequent urges to urinate, or cloudy urine are typical symptoms of a urinary tract infection. A prompt urological examination is particularly important if fever, flank pain, or blood in the urine also occur.
Difficulty Urinating
If the bladder feels very full, but little or no urine is passed, this could indicate urinary retention. This can be accompanied by severe pain and should be promptly evaluated by a doctor so that the bladder can be relieved.
Acute testicular pain or swelling
Sudden pain or swelling in the testicular area should always be taken seriously. Such symptoms can be caused by inflammation, injury, or other factors that should be investigated promptly.
Severe Prostate-Related Symptoms
Pain in the pelvic or perineal area, fever, or problems with urination can indicate acute prostatitis. In these cases, a prompt urological examination is advisable to determine the cause and treat the symptoms effectively.
Anal discomfort
Prompt help is needed for bleeding, painful lumps around the anus, tears/fissures, or abscesses. In many cases, these unpleasant symptoms can be alleviated during an urgent care appointment.
