This episode lays the foundation for all genitourinary surgery by focusing on urinary symptoms and the investigations that clarify them. Rather than jumping to diagnoses, the discussion centres on careful history-taking — voiding patterns, pain, haematuria, infection, and obstruction — and how these guide rational testing.

Listeners are walked through ur…
