Urologist in Ubon ratchitani or bangkok

[johnny2times]

Hi.

Im from Australia and i  arrive later next week on a 60 day tourist visa and i have a condition called epididymo orchitis which i thought was cleared but it has comeback for a 3rd time since march.

I have been cleared of it being from an std so its from urinary tract infection and pain comes and goes.

I dont want to cancel my trip and 

I  dont have time to see a urologist here and do some urine tests probably another ultrasound and wait for results. 

I will predominantly be in bangkok and ubon so could anyone tell me how quick i might be able to see a specialist and roughly what price would i be looking at for the following....

1. Consultation with a urologist and follow up appointment 

2. Urine test m/c/s & cystology

3. Ultrasound for testicles and prostate.

I could  go to a  Public  or private hospital but i guess it would depend on price and wait time but i think public you just turn up?

I will only have  standard travel insurance and because this is a pre condition and it wouldn't be covered so would be paying myself.

Thanks for any information and advice anyone can give.

Not looking forward to the 9 hour fight as it seems to hurt more sitting...ouch

Just use the report function to advise a moderator - seems it has already been moved.

 

As for Urologist without Thai language I would be looking at a private hospital (my advised dealing with a top government hospital was not a good experience although am sure doctor was well qualified and ended on operating room table when advised canceled due no ICU room available and there would be a 3-4 month delay to reschedule cancer operation).  There is normally little or no waiting involved at a private hospital - at government there often is and especially for treatment.  Consultation at higher priced hospitals would likely be less than 2,000 baht and ultrasound is not that expensive (well under 10k).

 

I ended up using this doctor (was at Bangkok Hospital) who now at Bumrungrad and very pleased with his manner/knowledge/treatment.

Ok thanks for the information i will look into both

[uhuh]

You will need urine cultures and antibiogram. Both of good quality,  hardly available in Ubon. Takes almost a week. Cost see above. 

 

Then you will probably need iv antibiotics for at least a week. Many hospitals will be reluctant to do this if you are not admitted to the hospital. Can be difficult to do if not admitted,  may require iv drip 3 times per day, depending on antibiotic. If admitted to a private hospital costs certainly more than 100,000.

 

Most important,  you will need to find the reason why the problem is recurring. Anatomical abnormalities? Stones? Underlying systemic disease?

This can take time.

 

NB "public you just turn up?" in Thailand means you turn up at 7 a.m. and see a doctor (maybe not yet a specialist) at 2 p.m.

 

Serious, even life-threatening complications are possible. In this case costs will spiral out of control (i.e. millions of baht)
