Consultation with a Urologist (Professor)
A consultation with a professor-level urologist involves an in-depth assessment of the clinical case, taking into account symptoms, medical history, coexisting conditions and previous test results. It may be appropriate for conditions affecting the urinary and male reproductive systems, urinary dysfunction, prostate disorders, sexual dysfunction and fertility concerns. This type of consultation can be particularly valuable in complex cases, when symptoms recur or previous treatment has been insufficiently effective. Following the assessment, the need for further investigations and the appropriate course of management are determined.
When an experienced specialist's opinion matters
Urological conditions may present with urinary problems, pain or discomfort, changes in sexual function or reproductive health concerns. When symptoms persist, recur or do not respond to treatment as expected, a more in-depth clinical assessment may be necessary.
A consultation with a professor-level urologist involves a detailed review of symptoms, medical history and previous test results to determine an evidence-based approach to further investigation and treatment.
At Doctor Sam Medical Center, experienced specialists take a comprehensive approach to assessing urological and andrological conditions. Particular attention is given to identifying possible causes of symptoms, considering coexisting conditions and determining an individualised management plan.
Consulting Professor Mykola Boiko does not have to be a last resort after lengthy investigations or unsuccessful treatment. Seeking an expert opinion early in the diagnostic process may help identify the necessary tests sooner, avoid unnecessary investigations and establish an appropriate treatment plan without delay.

How to prepare
To make the consultation as informative as possible, bring the results of previous investigations, including laboratory tests, ultrasound reports and other diagnostic findings, where available. You should also bring medical summaries, reports from other specialists and a list of medications you currently take or have taken recently.
Before your appointment, think about when your symptoms began, how often they occur and what makes them better or worse. If your concerns relate to reproductive or sexual health, share any details that may be medically relevant.
You do not need to arrange an extensive list of tests yourself or stop prescribed medication before the consultation. Any preparation or additional investigations will be determined according to your individual situation.
How the consultation works
The consultation begins with a detailed discussion of your concerns, medical history and previous treatment. The doctor will clarify when your symptoms first appeared, how they have changed, whether they have occurred before and which investigations have already been performed.
During the appointment, the doctor will:
- Review your medical history, discuss your symptoms and any coexisting conditions, and assess previous diagnoses, treatment and test results.
- Perform an examination when medically indicated and identify factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
- Determine whether further investigations are needed. Depending on the clinical situation, these may include laboratory tests, hormone tests, tests for urogenital infections, semen analysis, ultrasound or other diagnostic procedures.
- Explain the findings, discuss possible treatment options and outline the next steps.
If necessary, the following specialists may be involved in the diagnostic process
Areas of consultation
When to consult a professor-level urologist:
Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, reduced sexual desire and other changes in sexual function can have different underlying causes. Appropriate treatment requires consideration of symptoms, general health, coexisting conditions, medications and previous test results.
When conception does not occur, it is important to assess potential factors affecting male reproductive health. A consultation helps determine whether further investigations are needed, review existing results and plan the next steps in the assessment.
Prostatitis and other prostate-related conditions may cause pain, perineal discomfort, changes in urination or sexual dysfunction. Management depends on the symptoms, diagnostic findings and course of the condition.
Burning or pain during urination, unusual discharge or discomfort in the genital area require evaluation to establish the cause. Symptoms alone cannot reliably identify the responsible pathogen, so investigations and treatment should be based on clinical assessment and appropriate tests.
Changes in libido, sexual function and other nonspecific symptoms may warrant an assessment of hormonal status. The need for testing and further treatment is determined during the consultation, based on symptoms and medical indications.
A consultation may also be appropriate for varicocele, penile curvature, Peyronie's disease and other conditions affecting the function or anatomy of the male genital organs.
When symptoms recur, a diagnosis remains unclear or previous treatment has not produced the expected results, an additional consultation can help reassess the available information and determine appropriate next steps.
