Urology

Urology is the medical specialty that treats diseases of the urinary tract and male reproductive organs. The most common complaints include urination problems, prostate disorders, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and male fertility problems.

Reasons to see a urologist also include bladder problems, incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and benign prostatic enlargement. Urologists also treat cancers of the kidneys, bladder, and prostate.

Urology combines conservative drug treatment with surgical expertise. Modern minimally invasive techniques, such as endoscopic surgery, have improved treatment precision.
