###Input :Urology vs. Nephrology28M, White, No drugs, Social drinker, no tobacco, 2 days kidney painIve had kidney pain for a couple of days. I went to urgent care this morning, but they unfortunately have no lab or imaging capability. They were able to dip my urine and detect blood. I have had no urinary symptoms. Theyre sending my urine for cultures (3 day turnaround) and also referring me to an outside facility for CT (unknown turnaround time).I am in need of a provider that is able to find the problem (and hopefully solution) sooner than later.My only question is, do I need to try and get an appointment with urology or nephrology? ###Output :Urology |
###Input :Just got a worrying looking letter in the post following an ultrasound for varicocoele. Is there a urologist here that can help me translate this? (UK) Urology Cancer???Age 33Sex MHeight 6"1Weight 74kgHi All,Im based in UK. Just got this letter but I dunno what it means. Its from the Urologist to my GP that I've been CC'd on so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I could wait until I actually hear back from the Doctors but obviously I'm a bit worried now having read this so I hoped someone here could explain it to me. Here are the headlines:'His PSA is at 0.65''Ultrasound scrotum showed left scrotal varicocoele, bilateral mild hydrocoele and of note he had an ultrasound of the urinary tract which showed normal kidneys, a residual urine of 400ml and a soft tissue mobile non-shadowing focus within the bladder which is avascular on Doppler. This is unusual and I am going to review this in our MDT.''We will review him in our MDT urgently.'I have done an ETCI for a flexible cystoscopy'.Can someone please translate this for a layman? Many thanksI've just googled that the MDT is the 'Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) consists of a team with specialist training and experience of the diagnosis and management of Urology cancer'. ###Output :You may have a funky mass in your bladder and theyre going to stick a camera up your penis to get a better look at it. |
###Input :Mobile means its moving around, which is a good sign in general (means its probably not growing from your bladder). The most likely culprit in these scenarios is a bladder stone. The fact that its nonshadowing makes it unusual because most bladder stones have calcifications that shadow. In any case one has to go in with a camera to take a look at it and do something with it. ###Output :By "mobile" I'm not sure whether they mean like rolling all around the bladder (which in this case sounds like it would be a blood clot, not a stone), or an actual soft tissue mass that is swinging in the breeze but attached to the wall by a stalk.MDTs are used for anything complicated or unusual, not just for cancer. |
