Urology Department
The field of urology deals with medical conditions of the male and female urinary tracts. Physicians who specialize in the urinary system are known as Urologists. A patient’s urine was once examined by doctors for clues about their illness in ancient times. Today, there is an entire field of medicine dedicated to the health of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, bladders, prostates, penisses, and testes.
Your urologist could even be your primary care provider if you suffer from any of the following conditions:
- Problems with kidney stones on a regular basis
- A prostate cancer diagnosis
- The inability to hold urine for a long period of time
The use of laparoscopic surgical techniques is recommended whenever possible since there are many advantages, such as smaller incisions, less postoperative discomfort, quicker recovery time, shorter hospital stays, a faster return to full activity, and fewer scars.
What Is The Urinary Tract?
Urinary tract components include kidneys, ureters, and bladders. Your urinary tract removes urine from your body. Urine is a mixture of waste and water. For urination to occur normally and without complications, all parts of the urinary tract must work together.
What Do Urologists Do?
Urologists specialize in diagnosing and treating urinary tract problems. It is not uncommon for urologists to treat both men and women. An urologist only deals with problems of the urinary tract in women. However, urologists can also diagnose and treat disorders of the penis and testicles in men. Additionally, they treat male infertility and sexual disorders.
When Should I See The Urologist?
Symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI), difficulty passing urine, blood in urine, incontinence (urinary leakage), or erectile dysfunction may require you to visit a urologist. It is recommended that you see a urologist for these illnesses because they are within the scope of a urologist. Infertility and sexual problems in men are also treated by the urologist.
