Frequently Asked Questions
What is urology?
Urology is a medical specialty focused on the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as the male reproductive system. Urologists diagnose and treat conditions through both surgical and non-surgical approaches.
Do I need a referral to see a urologist at TGH DeSoto?
In most cases, a referral from your primary care provider is the first step. Contact us and our team can help guide you through the process.
Are urological procedures performed on an outpatient basis?
Many urological procedures at TGH DeSoto can be performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you may be able to return home the same day. Your care team will explain what to expect before your procedure.
What is GreenLight laser therapy for BPH?
GreenLight laser therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to remove excess prostate tissue and relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It's associated with a faster recovery than traditional surgery.
What should I do if I think I have a kidney stone?
If you're experiencing sudden, severe pain in your back or side, nausea or blood in your urine, contact your doctor or seek care right away. TGH DeSoto offers several treatment options for kidney and ureteral stones.
