Looking for a kidney doctor, urine problem doctor or prostate specialist? A urologist is the medical term for a kidney and urinary system doctor who treats conditions like kidney stones, urinary infections, weak urine flow, prostate problems, bladder issues and male infertility. Many patients search for a kidney stone doctor or a urine blockage doctor before they know the term urologist. In India, a qualified kidney doctor holds MBBS, MS (General Surgery) and MCh (Urology) or DNB Urology. For kidney stones, look for hospitals with laser stone treatment. For prostate problems, seek a urologist experienced in laparoscopic or robotic surgery.
