With the advent of new medications, the role of the primary care physician has expanded to include the treatment of prostatitis, overactive bladder, urinary tract infection, and other common urological conditions. Today, primary care practitioners and urologists work together to care for patients with common urological problems. In addition to practicing in a clinical setting, urologists now serve as consultants and educators for the wider medical community.

The BladderScan® provides both urologists and primary care physicians with the information they need to prevent unnecessary catheterization and its adverse consequences. Catheterization increases a patient's risk of developing urinary tract infection, a condition which often requires antibiotic treatment. Through BladderScan® use, these effects can be avoided, so that patient health and comfort are increased and the need for antibiotic medication is reduced.
