In an emergency

If you have very severe pain, a high temperature with chills, cannot pass urine, have sudden pain in a testicle or a lot of blood in your urine, do not wait for an appointment at the practice – call for emergency help (112, the European emergency number) or go to the emergency department of the nearest hospital. At Kaspela University Hospital (UMBAL Kaspela), the Department of Urology also admits emergency patients.

Useful to know before your visit

  • Bring previous test results, hospital discharge summaries and a list of the medicines you take.
  • For an ultrasound of the bladder and prostate, come with a full bladder (about 1 hour before the consultation, drink 500–700 ml of water and do not urinate).
  • Initial consultation – €50, follow-up consultation – €30. Other prices are confirmed when you book.
  • Consultations are available in Bulgarian, English and German. Children are examined with a parent present.
