Urological complaints are widespread – from benign urinary tract infections to malignant tumours. At the Vienna Private Clinic (WPK), we offer comprehensive diagnostics and state-of-the-art treatment options for urological diseases. Our interdisciplinary centre for urology combines medical excellence with individual care – for men and women at every stage of life.

What is urology?

Urology is a surgical medical speciality that deals with diseases and functional disorders of the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra) and the male reproductive organs (prostate, penis, testicles). It is particularly relevant for

  • Kidney and bladder diseases
  • Prostate enlargement and prostate cancer
  • Erectile dysfunction and testosterone deficiency
  • Urinary tract infections and incontinence
  • Urological tumours (e.g. bladder cancer, testicular cancer)

When is a visit to the urologist advisable?

All men aged 45 and over should undergo regular screening at least once a year; high-risk and prostate cancer patients must do this more frequently. Early clarification helps to avoid serious consequences. A visit is advisable for

  • Frequent urge to urinate or pain when urinating
  • Blood in urine
  • Erection problems or loss of libido
  • Involuntary loss of urine
  • Discomfort when urinating (especially at night)
  • Family history of prostate cancer

At the Vienna Private Clinic you will find leading specialists for all urological diseases – with a particular focus on the treatment of prostate cancer and other urological tumours. Our services include

  • Early detection & prevention
  • Laboratory tests, imaging (MRI, ultrasound), biopsy – including innovative tests such as the Stockholm3 test for improved prostate cancer diagnostics
  • Individual therapy planning in the tumour board
  • Surgical interventions (e.g. prostatectomy, ureteral surgery)

The Vienna Private Clinic also employs a representative number of first-class urologists who not only treat prostate cancer, but also prostate enlargement, erectile dysfunction and testosterone deficiency.

Lutetium-PSMA therapy for prostate cancer

Lutetium-PSMA therapy is a modern, targeted form of treatment for metastasised or therapy-resistant prostate cancer. A radioactive molecule is bound directly to the cancer cells and irradiated from the inside – with high precision and good tolerability. Patients with prostate cancer thus have an additional option, even if they have exhausted all “classic” treatment options.

This form of radioligand therapy is available at the Vienna Private Clinic – even for patients who have exhausted all conventional options. Find out more about our services for prostate cancer and breast cancer.

Frequently asked questions about urology in Vienna

What is the function of a urologist?

Urologists are doctors who specialize in diseases of the urinary tract. Their expertise enables them to treat situations that affect the kidneys and bladder and the muscles associated with them.

But a urologist’s scope of practice covers even more: it deals with problems and diseases affecting the penis, testicles, scrotum and prostate.

How does a urological examination work?

A urologist uses various diagnostic procedures to clarify diseases of the urinary tract and reproductive organs. These include laboratory tests (e.g. blood and urine values to assess kidney function or to detect inflammation) as well as imaging procedures such as ultrasound, CT or MRI. If necessary, urodynamic measurements or endoscopic examinations are also used. The aim is to detect possible diseases such as urinary tract infections, kidney stones, prostate enlargement or cancer at an early stage and treat them in a targeted manner.
