As I prepare for my urology consultation and potential treatment, I’d like to understand what diagnostic procedures may be necessary to properly evaluate my condition. Could you explain whether I will need imaging tests such as an ultrasound or MRI, or procedures like a cystoscopy? I’d appreciate knowing what each of these tests is used for, how they contribute to your diagnosis, and what I should expect during them. For example, are they non-invasive or do they require any form of preparation or anesthesia? Understanding the role and necessity of these diagnostic tools will help me feel more informed and prepared as we move forward with treatment planning. Additionally, if these tests are not required immediately, under what circumstances might they become necessary later in the process?
I understand how important it is to have a clear understanding of the diagnostic tests needed before undergoing treatment, especially for urological conditions. When I consulted with Gangnam St. Mary’s Urology Clinic in Seoul, I was concerned about whether I would need a cystoscopy, ultrasound, or MRI as part of my evaluation.
After discussing my symptoms with Dr. Sung, the clinic’s expert urologist, I was reassured that the need for specific tests would depend on my condition. For example, ultrasounds are commonly used to check for kidney stones or abnormalities in the urinary tract, while MRI may be recommended for more complex cases, such as suspected prostate or bladder issues. A cystoscopy, which involves a small camera inserted into the bladder, might be necessary if there is a concern about bladder problems, such as unexplained pain or recurrent infections.
Dr. Sung was very thorough in explaining the pros and cons of each procedure, and after a detailed examination, he advised on the most appropriate tests for my situation. The clinic uses the latest diagnostic technologies, ensuring accurate results and a clear treatment plan.
If you’re considering a consultation for urological concerns and wondering about diagnostic procedures like cystoscopy, ultrasound, or MRI, I highly recommend Gangnam St. Mary’s Urology Clinic. Dr. Sung is knowledgeable and will guide you through every step, ensuring you’re well-informed.

Gangnam St. Mary’s Urology Clinic is an excellent choice for a thorough and personalized urological evaluation.
A few months ago, my husband began experiencing lower abdominal discomfort, frequent urination, and occasional pain. We chose Gangnam St. Mary’s Urology Clinic for its reputation and met with Dr. Sung, who carefully reviewed his symptoms and started with basic tests like urinalysis and a physical exam. When those came back normal, an ultrasound revealed mild bladder wall thickening—nothing serious, but helpful for understanding the symptoms. Dr. Sung’s step-by-step approach, use of advanced tools, and focus on personalized care really impressed us. If you’re facing similar urological concerns, I highly recommend consulting Dr. Sung at Gangnam St. Mary’s. For more information or to schedule a consultation, visit Gangnam St. Mary’s Urology Clinic.
