Questions to bring to your visit
- How much caffeine and fluid do I drink in a day?
- Is this affecting my sleep, my work, or both?
What happens at your visit with us?
We usually start with a urine test to check for infection, sugar or blood, and an ultrasound can show how well your bladder empties. Jotting down what you drink and each bathroom visit over several days before the appointment gives our urologists a clear picture.
When should I call us?
Call us if you are going far more than you used to, if you plan outings around restrooms, or if frequency comes with burning, blood or a new, unusual thirst. The first visit usually includes a history, a urine test and a look at what you drink; our urologists then discuss habits, medicines or further testing. Burning with fever, inability to urinate or heavy bleeding should go to an emergency room.
How do our urologists approach this?
Our urologists work out whether the bladder, the prostate, an infection or another health issue is behind it. Many people improve with changes to fluids and caffeine plus bladder training, and medicine or procedures are there if those steps fall short.
Our urologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners see adults from Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, Crabapple and Mountain Park at our Alpharetta / Roswell office.
