Brief Answer:
Primary care

Detailed Answer:
You do not need to see a urologist for STDs.

A urologist can be seen but is not typical. Your local doctor will have been trained in treatment of male STDs at the same level as a urologist.

I recommend you seek care from a family doctor or internist. You can find them at your local clinic, urgent care or emergency care setting.
