Urology

What Is Urology?

Urology is the surgical medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of diseases related to the urinary tract system in both men and women, as well as the male reproductive system. Diseases affecting the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra, and male reproductive organs are evaluated within the field of urology.

Urination problems, kidney stones, prostate diseases, urinary tract infections, and male reproductive health conditions may require urological evaluation. Many urological diseases can be successfully managed with early diagnosis and proper treatment.
