What Is Urology?
Urology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the problems and diseases of the male and female urinary tract system and the male reproductive organs. Organs which fall under urology include: kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder, prostate, urethra and the male reproductive organs. The urinary and reproductive tracts are closely linked and, disorders of one, often affect the other.
Why Urology?
Urology not only helps male patients but women too - a high percentage of women over the age of 50 suffer from incontinence which can often be cured by a relatively small surgical procedure.
Men, who have difficulties passing urine or experience pain while doing so, should visit a urologist. Urologists diagnose and treat patients who can be healed by surgery and / or medication.
Urologists are well-trained in open surgery and minimally-invasive techniques, ultrasound scanning, fiber-optic endoscopies, laparoscopies and various laser treatments in the treatment of multiple benign and malignant conditions.
What Urology Services Are Offered?
The urologist has an in-depth knowledge of the urinary tract and male reproductive organs. He can operate on male genitals and people suffering with incontinence and is a surgical specialist who takes care of conditions that cause blood in the urine such as:
- Kidneys stones • Cancer
- Prostate problems • Bladder complaints
