What Is General Urology?

General urology covers the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the urinary tract in both men and women — the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra — as well as the male reproductive system. While Dr. Soarawee is internationally recognized in men’s health and sexual medicine, his clinical practice spans the complete spectrum of urological care.

Whether it is a simple urinary infection, a kidney stone, an enlarged prostate, or a suspicious PSA result, most urological problems are highly treatable when evaluated early with the right diagnostic tools. This page is your starting point to understand the conditions we treat — with links to in-depth, patient-friendly guides on each topic.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย

Q1: What conditions does a general urologist treat?

A urologist treats conditions of the urinary tract in men and women — including kidney stones, urinary tract infections, blood in the urine, bladder and voiding problems, and prostate conditions — as well as male reproductive and sexual health. If your symptom involves the kidneys, bladder, or urination, a urologist is the right specialist.

Q2: When should I see a urologist?

See a urologist for blood in the urine, recurrent urinary infections, difficulty or pain with urination, a weak stream or incomplete emptying, kidney or flank pain, an abnormal PSA result, or any persistent change in urinary or sexual function. Early evaluation often prevents small problems from becoming serious ones.

Q3: How are kidney stones treated?

Small stones often pass with fluids and medication, while larger or obstructing stones may need 3rd-generation ESWL (non-invasive shockwave) or flexible ureteroscopy with Holmium laser. A metabolic evaluation helps identify why stones form so a prevention plan can reduce future recurrence.

Q4: Do I always need antibiotics for a urinary tract infection?

Not always. A symptomatic UTI usually needs targeted antibiotics, but bacteria found in the urine without symptoms (asymptomatic bacteriuria) often should not be treated, as unnecessary antibiotics cause more harm than good. Correct diagnosis is key to avoiding both under- and over-treatment.

Q5: Can I consult Dr. Soarawee online before traveling to Bangkok?

Yes. Dr. Soarawee offers online video consultations for international patients via WhatsApp, LINE, or Telegram — allowing a preliminary discussion of symptoms, review of previous results, and planning of in-person evaluation if needed.
