Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy

The urologist is the specialist who treats acute urethral obstruction, a situation in which the flow of urine is suddenly blocked in the urethra, the duct that carries urine out of the body. It can be due to stones, inflammation, or narrowing.

Frequent symptoms: difficulty or inability to urinate, pain in the lower abdomen, a sensation of a full bladder, and intense discomfort.

When to see a doctor? The sudden inability to urinate accompanied by pain requires care without delay, since it is an emergency.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist evaluates the cause of the blockage and provides guidance on the steps to follow. If you experience these symptoms suddenly, seek medical evaluation immediately.
