Urological check-up · cancer screening

Men wait. Cancer does not.

Thirty minutes a year that can make the difference.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Austria – detected early, it is very treatable. Even so, only about one man in eight goes for regular screening. The annual urology check looks at prostate, bladder, kidney and testicles together – with little discomfort and without a referral.

This is how simple the urology check is

01

Conversation

History, your questions, your personal risk situation – without time pressure.

02

Examination & ultrasound

Physical examination and ultrasound of kidney, bladder, prostate or testicles.

03

Laboratory & findings

Urine and blood tests (for example the PSA value) – explained in plain language instead of jargon.

Good to know

  • Young men, take note: testicular cancer is the most common cancer between 20 and 45 – the monthly self-examination is gladly shown to you at the practice.
  • The palpation of the prostate takes only a few seconds and is more unpleasant in your head than in reality.
  • Blood in the urine, frequent urge to urinate or getting up at night? That belongs on the examination table, not on the back burner.
  • Sensible for women too: bladder and kidneys benefit from screening just as much.

No referral, no long waiting times: at a Wahlarzt practice you book your screening appointment directly online – in the evening until 8 pm or on Saturdays.

Vasectomy · family planning complete

Vasectomy in Vienna: the small procedure with the great certainty

When family planning is complete, the vasectomy is the safest form of contraception – considerably safer than the pill or the condom, and a fair contribution from the man. At Medino the procedure is carried out on an outpatient basis under local anaesthetic and takes about 30 minutes.

Safety: The Pearl index of the vasectomy is around 0.1 – only about 1 in 1,000 couples experiences a pregnancy afterwards. Hormones and libido remain unchanged.
  • Detailed consultation beforehand – all questions, no pressure
  • Outpatient under local anaesthetic, about 30 minutes – no hospital stay
  • Only a few days taking it easy, then back to everyday life
  • Follow-up semen analysis after the procedure – only then does it count as safe contraception
  • Circumcision and frenulotomy also possible on an outpatient basis

Carried out by Dr. Suarez-Ibarrola in close cooperation with Dr. Schwittai. Important: the vasectomy should be regarded as a final decision – the advice on this is open, including on whether it fits your situation in life.

Urology for women · with the female urologist

Another bladder infection? There is a better way than the next antibiotic.

About one woman in two has a bladder infection at least once in her life – for many it keeps coming back. Instead of treating it briefly each time, Dr. Schwittai gets to the bottom of the causes: in a structured way, with empathy, and from woman to woman.

  • Assessment of recurring urinary tract infections – including ultrasound, laboratory and, if needed, cystoscopy
  • Prevention instead of an endless antibiotic loop: individual strategies against recurrence
  • Accompanied by complementary medicine on request – phytotherapy, vitamin C and vitamin B infusions
  • Also for urgency, incontinence and a weak bladder – discreetly and without taboos

Short distances in the building: gynaecology, laboratory and pelvic floor physiotherapy are all at one address at Medino.

Men's health · andrology

What men do not talk about is treated anyway. Discreetly.

Erectile problems, ejaculation problems, an unfulfilled wish for a child: it affects millions of men, and hardly any of them talk about it. Yet having it looked at pays off twice over – because behind potency problems there are often treatable causes.

Did you know? Erectile problems can be an early warning sign of cardiovascular disease – often years before the heart itself causes trouble. Having it checked therefore protects more than just your sex life.
  • Assessment and treatment of erectile and ejaculation disorders
  • Fertility in men: semen analysis and andrological diagnostics
  • Testosterone & hormone status – tiredness and lack of drive taken seriously
  • Confidential, without embarrassment – you talk to doctors, not to a waiting room

On questions of fertility we work closely with reproductive medicine at Medino – short distances, one set of findings, one plan.

At Medino urology does not stop with adults: bed-wetting, a narrowed foreskin (phimosis) or an undescended testicle are common – and treatable. Assessment is carried out in a way that suits children, without fear or pressure, hand in hand with the paediatricians in the building. That way the visit to the doctor stays a good appointment for your child – and you have one worry less.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

From what age should I as a man go for urological screening?
Austria's urologists recommend regular early detection of prostate cancer from the age of 45, and from 40 where there is a family history. Young men should also examine their testicles once a month – testicular cancer is the most common cancer between 20 and 45, but is very curable when detected early.
Does the prostate examination hurt?
No. The palpation takes only a few seconds and is at most briefly unpleasant. It is complemented by ultrasound and a blood sample (PSA value) – both with very little discomfort. The worry beforehand is almost always greater than the examination itself.
How does a urological examination proceed?
The appointment begins with a detailed conversation (history), followed by a physical examination and an ultrasound. Where needed, urine and blood tests or further diagnostics such as a cystoscopy are added.
How safe is the vasectomy – and how long does the procedure take?
With a Pearl index of about 0.1 the vasectomy is the safest method of contraception. The procedure is carried out on an outpatient basis under local anaesthetic and takes around 30 minutes. Important: contraception is only safe after the follow-up semen analysis a few weeks later – until then, use additional contraception.
Does the vasectomy affect potency or hormones?
No. Testosterone production, libido, erection and orgasm remain unchanged – only the transport of the sperm cells is interrupted. Even so, the vasectomy should be regarded as a final decision; the advice on this is open and detailed.
I keep getting bladder infections – can a female urologist help me?
Yes. About one woman in two has a bladder infection at least once in her life, and for many it comes back. Dr. Schwittai works through the causes in a structured way and develops a strategy against recurrence – complemented by complementary medicine on request.
When should I have erectile problems looked at?
Earlier than most people think. Erectile problems are common, treatable – and can be an early warning sign of cardiovascular disease, often years before the heart itself causes complaints. Having it looked at discreetly is therefore worthwhile twice over.
Do you also treat children?
Yes. Paediatric urology includes bed-wetting, a narrowed foreskin (phimosis) and an undescended testicle, among others. Assessment and treatment are carried out in a way that suits children, without fear or pressure – together with the paediatricians in the building where needed.
What does complementary medicine mean in urology?
Alongside conventional urology, Dr. Schwittai offers phytotherapy as well as vitamin C and vitamin B infusions. The basis always remains sound conventional diagnostics – complementary medicine does not replace it, it complements it.
Do I need a referral?
No. As a Wahlarzt practice no referral is required – you simply book your appointment directly online or by telephone.
What does the appointment cost – and what does the insurance fund pay back?
Medino is a Wahlarzt centre: you pay the fee yourself first and submit the fee note to your health insurance fund. What is reimbursed is decided by the fund.
What should I bring to the first appointment?
Photo identification and your e-card as well as – if you have them – previous findings, current laboratory values, a list of medication and imaging (for example a CD from an MRI or CT scan). For the urine test it is best to come with a full bladder.
