hi, roba,

I am in the same situation, after seeing my PCP yesterday, I was given a referral to a urologist. You have not described your medical problem or if you are a female/male. Being a man in my 50's, I am sure the urologist will ask for the symptoms that required the visit and, I expect, will examine my prostate which is done rectally and is very brief. Basically, they will check to determine if it is swollen which is common for men of my age and causes frequent urination but can also lead to cancer. An x-ray may also be called for as well as a physical exam of my genitals. Actually, it's no big deal. The big deal is if something wrong is found! Good luck to you!
