Top 5 Urology Clinics in Irbid 2026

When do you need a urologist?

Urology deals with the urinary tract in both men and women: the kidneys, the ureters, the bladder and the urethra. It also covers the male reproductive organs, meaning the prostate, testicles and penis. Common reasons people in Irbid see a urologist include:

• kidney and ureter stones
• repeated urinary infections
• bladder problems such as urgency, frequency or leaking
• prostate enlargement
• testicular lumps or swelling
• erection difficulties
• male fertility concerns

Consider booking a visit if you notice any of the following:

• Blood in your urine, even once and even without pain. Mainstream guidance treats this as something that should always be checked.
• Burning or stinging when passing urine that keeps coming back, or urinary infections that recur.
• Bladder changes. These include a weak or interrupted stream, straining, or getting up several times a night to urinate.
• Leaking urine when coughing, laughing or rushing to the toilet.
• Pain in the side or back that comes in waves, which can point to a stone.
• A lump, swelling or ache in a testicle.
• Ongoing erection problems. These can sometimes be linked to heart or blood-sugar health, so they are worth raising.
• Difficulty conceiving after about a year of regular trying, when a male assessment is part of the work-up.
• An abnormal test result, such as a raised PSA blood test or a kidney finding on a scan, after which your family doctor suggests a specialist.

Urgent warning signs: call 911 or go to an emergency department

Some urological problems cannot wait for clinic hours:

• Sudden, severe pain in a testicle, especially in a child, teenager or young man. It may be testicular torsion, which needs treatment within hours.
• Being unable to pass urine at all, with a painful, swollen lower abdomen.
• Severe side or back pain together with fever, shivering or vomiting. This can mean an infected, blocked kidney.
• Heavy bleeding in the urine with clots, or bleeding that stops you from urinating.
• A urinary infection with high fever, confusion or feeling very unwell.
• Any significant injury to the groin, genitals or lower back.

In Jordan the emergency number is 911.

How to choose among the clinics here

If you searched for the best urology clinics in Irbid, it helps to know that no directory can measure surgical skill or outcomes. What you can compare is practical fit:

• Match your concern to the listed focus. Two clinics (Firas Sahawneh and Tawfiq Al-Far) describe a focus on andrology and infertility alongside general urology. The Sahawneh profile lists specific investigations: ultrasound, flexible cystoscopy, uroflowmetry and urodynamics. The Al-Far profile lists stones, infections, bladder, prostate, testicular, erectile and fertility concerns in men and women. The other three profiles list general urology consultation, assessment and follow-up, so phone their reception to confirm your specific need.
• Check where tests and procedures happen. Many urology problems involve a urine test, a scan or a flow test. Ask whether these are done in the clinic, and if any procedure is planned, where it would take place.
• Fit the hours to your week. The Sahawneh clinic's confirmed hours are Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday mornings only. The other four open Saturday to Thursday. The Al-Far and Al-Atoum clinics stay open until 17:00, which can suit people who work.
• Think about follow-up. Stones, prostate symptoms and recurrent infections often need repeat visits and results reviews. Choose a clinic you can realistically return to.
• Consider the setting. Two clinics are located inside hospital outpatient buildings, according to their addresses. One clinic lists two urologists on its team.
• Ask about comfort and privacy. Urology exams can be intimate. You can ask in advance whether a chaperone is available.

What to expect at the first visit

A first urology appointment usually begins with questions about your symptoms, medical history and medicines, followed by an examination. Depending on the problem, the doctor may then suggest further tests:

• a urine test
• blood tests
• an ultrasound
• a urine flow measurement

For men with prostate symptoms, the examination may include a gentle rectal check of the prostate. The doctor should explain why before going ahead.

Preparation tips:

• Ask when booking whether you should arrive with a comfortably full bladder. Some flow tests and scans need one.
• For bladder symptoms, keep a simple diary for two or three days before the visit: when you urinate, roughly how much, what you drink, and any leaks.
• Write down when symptoms started and what makes them better or worse.

What to bring:

• your national ID or passport and your insurance card
• previous results, such as urine cultures, scans, CT reports, PSA results and kidney function tests
• a list of every medicine and supplement you take
• previous semen analysis results, for fertility visits

Questions worth asking:

• What do you think is causing this, and what else could it be?
• Which tests do I need, and where are they done?
• What are my options, including watching and waiting?
• Which symptoms mean I should come back sooner or go to emergency?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Four of the five profiles list Arab Orient Insurance as an accepted insurer: Sahawneh, Khashashneh, Al-Atoum and Abu Harfeel. If you are with another insurer, or are visiting the Tawfiq Al-Far clinic, ask the clinic directly. Even if your insurer is listed, coverage depends on your policy. Before you go, ask:

• Is my specific policy and network accepted, and do I need a referral?
• What is the current consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• Are ultrasound, flow tests or other investigations billed separately from the consultation?
• Does my insurer need pre-approval for tests or procedures?
• Which doctor will see me? This matters at the clinic that lists two urologists.

If a procedure is recommended, ask for a written explanation of what it involves and where it will be done before you agree.

Getting there

All five clinics are in Irbid city. Four are in Downtown Irbid and one is in the New Amman Bus Station area. Downtown streets can be busy at midday, so allow extra time for traffic and parking. Bring your previous results, since you may be sent for tests on the same day.

If you are travelling from Ramtha, Al-Husn, Kufr Yuba, Al-Koura, Bani Kinanah or Al-Mazar Al-Shamali, plan around each clinic's confirmed hours. An early slot gives you time to complete any tests the same day.

The governorate's larger hospitals include King Abdullah University Hospital, Prince Rashid bin Al-Hassan Military Hospital, Princess Basma Teaching Hospital and Irbid Specialty Hospital. If you need imaging, admission or surgery, your urologist will explain where it will take place. For any emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
