What is a urological check-up?

A urological examination is an essential assessment in men over 40 years of age for the early detection of diseases related to the urinary and reproductive system. It is strongly recommended for people with a first-degree family history—parent or siblings—of bladder, testicular, kidney and prostate cancer, among other pathologies. It is also intended for men who have recurrent symptoms of severe pain and stinging when urinating, weak or interrupted urine flow, blood in urine or semen, fever, discomfort, chills, and severe, disabling pain from the kidney to the groin area.
