- What is a cystoscopy and why might I need one?
- A cystoscopy is a procedure that allows your urologist, such as Dr. Abdi, to look directly inside your bladder and urethra using a thin, lighted instrument called a cystoscope.

He will explain the procedure and any preparation needed.
- What are some common tests a Urologist might perform or order?
- Depending on your symptoms and condition, Dr. Abdi may perform or order several tests. These can include urinalysis (urine test), urine culture, blood tests (like PSA for prostate health), imaging studies (ultrasound, CT scan, MRI of the kidneys, bladder, or prostate), urodynamic studies (to assess bladder function), and cystoscopy (a scope to look inside the bladder and urethra). He will explain why any specific test is needed and what it involves.
- When should I consider seeing a Urologist?

He is a Urologist specializing in conditions of the urinary tract and male reproductive system. Dr. Abdi provides comprehensive care for a wide range of these conditions.
