You should visit your urologist if you have UTI. If you face any problems in urinating like burning or pain, or your urine looks cloudy or shades of red, you should consult your doctor for UTI.
- Kidney stones:
When you have minerals or salt deposits in your kidneys, they are called kidney stones. Having kidney stones will make your urine concentrated; your lower abdomen hurts, you will feel persistent need to pee, you might face nausea or vomiting, etc. If you face such symptoms you should consult your doctor who will determine whether you have kidney stones. Passing kidney stones while urinating is painful but it causes more permanent damage if the stone is set for a long time in your body.

Prostrate problems generally occur in elderly males. Prostrate is a gland in males that helps in making semen. If it gets too large the male will face many issues. When the prostrate enlarges but is not cancerous it is called BPH or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. There are also other prostate problems in males like cancer, chronic prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, etc. You should consult your doctor for any of these problems.
