Urologists vs Endocrinologists

[slash747]

What is the difference?

Doctor explained it as Endorcrinologist is a doctor that deals with hormones.

Where as a Urologist is a doctor that deals specifically with the testicles.

There roles seem very interlaced.

I have an appointment with a urologist in a couple of weeks for a vericoscele, and was wondering what other tests would it be could to ask for while there?

not much. urologist deals with prostate problems and secretions as far as i know.

I have to go to the Urologist for something else, but I was'nt sure what his role was. Theres a whole line of questions I wanted to ask about hormone levels and such, and I was hoping he would be able to help me out. I might as well make an appointment with a Endocrinologists as a follow up.

Urologist just deals with the machinery, Endocrinologists deal with all hormones. Example, if you have a "surgical" or mechanical problem then the urologist is the person to see. With questions regarding hormones, then endocrinologist is the better bet.
