The Ultimate Guide to Seeing a Urologist in Singapore (2020)
Most of us don’t realise the importance of our urological health.
Your urinary tract filters waste from your bloodstream and expels them from your body along with excess fluid as urine, so a healthy urinary tract is vital for maintaining your physical well-being.
Having healthy kidneys, which are part of the urinary tract, helps to:
- prevent metabolic waste products from building up
- remove excess fluids in your body
- maintain balance of electrolytes
- produce hormones that help regulate blood pressure
- make red blood cells
- keep bones strong
As our urinary tract plays such important functions, we cannot afford to take it for granted.
However, urinary tract infections (UTIs) can still happen even if you have done all that you could do to prevent it. You may then start wondering:
- Who should I see?
- At what point should I see them?
- What happens when I see them?
In this article, I will be covering all your doubts about seeing a urologist. Hopefully, after reading this article, you can make the most informed decision when it comes to your urological health!
