Urology

It is the medical and surgical specialty that focuses on the urinary tracts of males and females and on the reproductive system of males. Medical professionals specializing in the field of urology are trained to diagnose, treat and manage patients with urological disorders.

The organs covered by urology include the kidneys, adrenal glands, urethra, urinary bladder and the male reproductive organs.
Urology combines management of medical (non-surgical) problems such as urinary tract infections and benign prostatic hyperplasia, as well as surgical problems such as the surgical management of cancers, the correction of congenital abnormalities and correcting stress incontinence.
