First time urologist examination

I might need to make a new patient exam with a urologist. I’m particularly younger to be seeing one, but might use a referral I got from urgent care to cover all my bases?

What is a new patient urological exam like? What kinda tests and procedures should I expect when I have my examination?

Any help is appreciated.

I went young to a urologist. They basically just did a urine a screen and bladder ultrasound. Neither which were invasive otherwise I just talked no prostate or genital exam.

How young are you and why are you going?

@gbags81 Why did urgent care refer you to a urologist? There must have been a reason.

What is covered in the new patient exam will largely depend on why you are seeing the urologist in the first place.

An exam for prostate issues will be different from an exam for kidney stones. Likewise for a lump on a testicle vs bladder issues (I've been to a urologist for all of the above over the years).

Is not like going to a primary care appointment.

At my first urologist visit i had to take off my pullover, had to pull up my shirt and had to pull down my trouses and underpants. afterwards i had to lay down on the table. he started with a palpation of my stomach. Then i got an ultrasound of my intern organs. Then he pulled back my foreskin and palpated penis ans testicles. Afterwards i got an ultrasound of my testicles. then i had to lay on my left side in order to get finally the rectal and prostate exam.

Same as @Musterung for me. I disrobe to my underpants. She did the abdominal palpation then asked to remove also the underpants. Testicles were accurately palpated then she examinated the penis. Preputial retraction, squeezing of the glans for meatus examination. Then the DRE and rectal US.
