Urology
Urology in Palafrugell: prostate, kidney stones, urine infections and leakage, with ultrasound and flow tests on site.
Urology
Urology covers the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as the male reproductive system. The most common reasons for a visit are recurrent urine infections, kidney stones, needing to pass urine often or at night, blood in the urine and prostate problems. Male infertility and lesions of the penis and scrotum are also treated here.
Ultrasound scans and urine flow tests are carried out in the same building, which helps reach a diagnosis sooner. If surgery is needed, the urologist explains the options and plans the steps beforehand. Appointments are on Plaça de Catalunya in Palafrugell, and we work with more than 40 health insurers.

Frequently asked questions about Urology
Do I need a referral to see the urologist?
As a private patient you do not need a referral: simply book on 972 30 65 65, through the form or via the online booking portal. If you are coming through your insurer, some companies ask for prior authorisation or a referral, so it is worth checking with them before the appointment.
Is any preparation needed for the ultrasound or the flow test?
Yes: both the kidney-bladder ultrasound and the flow test are done with a full bladder, so you need to arrive needing to pass urine. When we book you in we tell you how long beforehand to start drinking water and whether anything else is needed.
Are urology tests carried out in Palafrugell?
Yes. Prostate, testicular and kidney-bladder ultrasound and the urine flow test are done at the centre in Palafrugell, often during the same appointment, and blood samples can be taken here too. If an operation is needed, the urologist explains the options and arranges the pre-operative tests.
