Top 10 Signs You Should See a Urologist (मूत्ररोग तज्ञ से मिलें: 10 प्रमुख लक्षण)

Taking care of your urinary system (मूत्र प्रणाली / मूत्र प्रणाली) and reproductive health is crucial for a healthy, worry-free life. Many urinary and men’s health problems can develop gradually, with warning signs that people often ignore until things get serious. Knowing when to see a urologist (मूत्ररोग विशेषज्ञ / मूत्ररोग तज्ञ) can help you get early, effective treatment.

1. Difficulty Passing Urine or Weak Flow

(पेशाब में कठिनाई / पेशाब का कमजोर प्रवाह)
If you struggle to start urinating, have a weak or interrupted stream, or feel your bladder is never fully empty, consult a urologist. This could indicate prostate enlargement (प्रोस्टेट ग्रंथि का बढ़ना) in men or other urinary tract issues.

2. Frequent Urination, Especially at Night

(बार-बार पेशाब आना, खासकर रात में)
Urinating multiple times at night (नाइट पॉल्यूरिया) disturbs sleep and can be a warning of diabetes (डायबिटीज), infection, or bladder problems.

3. Burning or Pain While Urinating

(पेशाब में जलन या दर्द / जळजळ)
A burning sensation means there may be a urinary tract infection (UTI – मूत्र मार्ग संक्रमण / मूत्रमार्ग संसर्ग) or bladder inflammation. Early treatment is important.

4. Blood in Urine

(पेशाब में खून / मूत्र में रक्त)
Seeing blood—even once—should never be ignored. It can result from infections, kidney stones (पथरी / मुतखडी), or even cancers of the bladder or kidney.

5. Pain in Lower Back or Sides

(कमर या पेट के किनारे में दर्द / पाठदुखी)
Pain around your back or sides with urinary symptoms might signal a kidney stone or infection.

6. Urinary Incontinence—Loss of Bladder Control

(पेशाब पर नियंत्रण खोना / मूत्रस्त्राव)
Accidentally leaking urine is common, especially in older adults and women. This needs an assessment by a urologist.

7. Erectile Dysfunction or Men’s Sexual Problems

(पुरुषों में संभोग संबंधित समस्याएं / नामर्दी / नपुंसकता)
Difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, or other sexual health issues, are medical problems that can be treated. Don’t ignore or be embarrassed—seek help.

8. Swelling or Lumps in Genital Area

(जननांगों में सूजन या गांठ)
Any unexplained swelling or lump should be examined quickly to rule out infections, hydrocele, or even tumors.

9. Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections

(बार-बार मूत्र संक्रमण / पुनःपुन्हा मूत्रमार्ग संसर्ग)
If you get UTIs repeatedly, it’s time for a proper investigation and personalized treatment.

10. Family History of Urinary or Prostate Disease

(परिवार में पेशाब/गुर्दा/प्रोस्टेट की बीमारी का इतिहास / घरात मूत्रपिंड, मूत्राशय किंवा प्रोस्टेट संबंधी आजाराचा इतिहास)
If your family has a history of kidney stones, prostate, or bladder problems, don’t skip regular check-ups—even if you feel fine.
