Urology
Urology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases related to the urinary tract system and male reproductive organs. Urologists treat a wide range of conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, urethra, prostate, and male reproductive system. Conditions commonly treated include urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, bladder cancer, prostate issues, and erectile dysfunction.
Urology covers a broad spectrum of conditions, both common and complex, affecting the urinary and reproductive systems. Common conditions treated in urology include:
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Urologists diagnose and treat infections in the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, and urethra.
Kidney Stones: Surgical and non-surgical treatments for kidney stones, which are solid deposits that form in the kidneys and can cause severe pain.
Bladder Cancer: Treatment of bladder cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, and other advanced therapies.
Prostate Disorders: Diagnosis and treatment of conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer.
Erectile Dysfunction: Urologists offer treatment for erectile dysfunction, using medications, therapy, and sometimes surgery.
