ÜroTıp Urology Diagnostic Center is a specialized urology center in Suadiye, Kadıköy, Istanbul, providing diagnostic evaluations and treatment services for conditions involving the prostate, urinary tract, bladder, kidneys, testes, male sexual health and pediatric urology. The center is associated with Prof. Dr. İbrahim Çevik and Prof. Dr. Atıf Akdaş and focuses on the assessment of urological complaints through clinical examination, imaging, laboratory testing and functional diagnostic procedures.
The center provides a broad range of urological investigations, including ultrasonography and Doppler examinations, uroflowmetry, urodynamic testing, post-void residual urine measurement, flexible cystoscopy and ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. Prostate-related markers and other diagnostic tests may also be considered when clinically appropriate.
Prostate Disorders and Prostate Evaluation
Prostate problems can present with urinary symptoms, changes in urinary flow, difficulty emptying the bladder or other complaints. ÜroTıp provides diagnostic assessment for prostate enlargement, prostatitis, acute and chronic prostatitis, prostate cancer and other prostate-related conditions.
When prostate cancer is suspected, an ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy may be performed when indicated. During this procedure, tissue samples are obtained from the prostate and submitted for histopathological examination.
The center also provides information and diagnostic assessment involving PSA, free PSA, ProPSA and PCA3. These tests may provide additional information during prostate evaluation and can be considered together with physical examination, imaging findings and the patient’s clinical history.
HPV, Genital Warts and Condyloma
HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a group of viruses that can affect the genital region. Some HPV types may cause genital warts, also known as condyloma.
Patients may seek medical evaluation for questions concerning HPV transmission, symptoms, testing, vaccination, genital warts or treatment options. At ÜroTıp, genital lesions and HPV-related complaints can be assessed as part of the center’s urological and sexual-health services.
The appropriate diagnostic approach depends on the patient’s symptoms and clinical findings. Medical assessment is particularly important when a genital lesion needs to be distinguished from other conditions with a similar appearance.
Genital Herpes and Genital Ulcers
Genital ulcers or sore-like lesions can have several possible causes. Genital herpes is one of the conditions considered when painful or ulcerated lesions occur in the genital region.
ÜroTıp provides diagnostic evaluation and treatment assessment for herpes and genital-ulcer complaints. A clinical examination can help determine whether further testing or treatment is appropriate.
Urinary Tract Problems and Cystitis
Burning during urination, frequent urination, urinary leakage and difficulty urinating can be associated with different urinary and urological conditions. Cystitis, or inflammation of the bladder, is commonly associated with urinary tract infections.
The center evaluates urinary tract infections, cystitis, interstitial cystitis, bladder disorders and other lower urinary tract complaints. Diagnostic procedures can be selected according to the symptoms and findings identified during the medical evaluation.
Bladder Disorders and Bladder Cancer
Bladder tumors and bladder cancer require appropriate diagnostic investigation. ÜroTıp offers flexible cystoscopy, allowing the physician to examine the inside of the bladder using a small camera introduced through the urinary tract.
Cystoscopy can provide direct visual information about the bladder lining. If an abnormality requires further investigation, additional procedures may be considered.
The center also provides NMP22 testing in the context of bladder tumor evaluation. NMP22 is performed using a urine sample and may be considered alongside cystoscopic findings where appropriate.
Kidney Diseases and Kidney Stones
Kidney stones, kidney inflammation, kidney disorders and kidney tumors are among the conditions evaluated within urology. ÜroTıp provides diagnostic assessment for kidney-related complaints using appropriate clinical and imaging methods.
Renal ultrasonography is one of the available diagnostic examinations. Ultrasound can be used to examine the kidneys and urinary system without exposing the patient to ionizing radiation.
Testicular Disorders and Varicocele
Testicular problems require appropriate clinical assessment, particularly when patients experience pain, swelling, a change in the scrotal region or other symptoms.
Varicocele refers to enlargement of the veins associated with the testicle. Depending on the clinical situation, examination and Doppler ultrasonography can be used as part of the diagnostic process.
ÜroTıp provides evaluation of varicocele and other testicular conditions.
Pediatric Urology
Children may develop urinary, kidney, bladder and genital conditions that require a specialized pediatric urological approach. ÜroTıp’s pediatric urology services include assessment of conditions such as prenatal hydronephrosis, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, vesicoureteral reflux, posterior urethral valves, megaureter, ureterocele, renal duplication, undescended testicles, hydrocele and hypospadias.
The center also addresses pediatric urinary problems such as bedwetting and voiding disorders, as well as selected penile and circumcision-related conditions.
Urological Ultrasound and Doppler Examinations
Ultrasonography is an important part of modern urological diagnostics. At ÜroTıp, different ultrasound examinations can be performed using appropriate probes and Doppler technology.
Available examinations include:
• Kidney ultrasound
• Bladder ultrasound
• Prostate ultrasound
• Scrotal Doppler ultrasound
• Penile Doppler ultrasound
• Other urological Doppler examinations
Ultrasound findings can be evaluated together with the patient’s symptoms, physical examination and other diagnostic results.
Uroflowmetry
Uroflowmetry is a functional test used to measure urinary flow. The examination can record parameters such as maximum flow rate, average flow rate, total voiding time, voiding curve and the total amount of urine passed.
This information can help the urologist assess the patient’s lower urinary tract function, particularly when there are complaints involving weak flow, difficulty urinating or other voiding problems.
Urodynamic Testing
Urodynamic testing evaluates the functional behavior of the bladder and urethra by recording pressure and flow changes during bladder filling and emptying.
Depending on the examination protocol, the evaluation may include cystometry, pressure-flow studies, EMG and urethral pressure measurements. Urodynamics can be particularly useful when investigating urinary incontinence, abnormal bladder function and complex voiding symptoms.
The recorded measurements are interpreted together with the patient’s symptoms and clinical examination.
Post-Void Residual Urine Measurement
Post-void residual, commonly abbreviated as PVR, refers to the amount of urine remaining in the bladder after urination.
Measuring residual urine can provide useful information when a patient has difficulty emptying the bladder or other lower urinary tract symptoms. At ÜroTıp, residual urine can be assessed using ultrasound-based bladder scanning, allowing the measurement to be performed without the need for an invasive catheter in appropriate cases.
Magnetic Pelvic Floor Stimulation
Pelvic floor exercises and other treatment approaches may be considered for patients experiencing urinary leakage or pelvic-floor-related urinary symptoms.
ÜroTıp also provides magnetic pelvic floor stimulation (ExMI). During this treatment, the patient sits on a dedicated treatment chair while magnetic stimulation is used to produce passive contractions of the pelvic floor muscles.
The frequency and duration of treatment sessions can be determined according to the patient’s clinical situation.
ESWT and Erectile Dysfunction
The center also provides information and treatment assessment concerning ESWT (extracorporeal shock wave therapy) and erectile dysfunction.
ESWT uses acoustic shock waves as part of a treatment approach for erectile dysfunction. Patients experiencing erectile difficulties require an appropriate medical evaluation to determine potential contributing factors before a treatment plan is selected.
The center also provides information regarding exosome-based treatment approaches for erectile dysfunction. Such approaches should be evaluated on an individual clinical basis.
PCA3 and ProPSA
Modern prostate evaluation can involve more than conventional PSA testing. ÜroTıp provides assessment and information regarding PCA3 and ProPSA in appropriate clinical situations.
PCA3 is a molecular marker associated with prostate tissue, while ProPSA represents one of the measurable components of free PSA. Total PSA, free PSA and ProPSA measurements can be combined to calculate the Prostate Health Index (PHI).
These tests may provide additional information when evaluating prostate cancer risk and deciding whether further investigation, such as biopsy, should be considered. Test results should be interpreted together with the patient’s medical history, examination findings and other diagnostic information rather than being viewed in isolation.
