Urology is a multifaceted medical field that addresses a wide range of conditions, both surgical and non-surgical, within the urinary tract. Urologists, specialized medical professionals, focus on diagnosing and treating various urological issues. Some key areas of urology include:

For Men:

• Kidney diseases
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
• Infertility
• Varicoceles (enlarged scrotal veins)
• Prostatitis
• Kidney Stones
• Erectile dysfunction
• Interstitial cystitis (painful bladder syndrome)
• Cancers of the penis, testicles, prostate, adrenal glands, kidneys, and bladder

For Women:

• Urinary incontinence
• UTIs
• Overactive bladder
• Bladder prolapse
• Kidney stones
• Interstitial cystitis
• Cancers of the kidneys, adrenal glands, and bladder

For Children:

• Undescended testicles
• Bed-wetting
• Urinary tract structural issues or blockages

Urology also includes various sub-disciplines, such as Neurourology (focused on the nervous system’s impact on urinary function), Andrology (specializing in male reproductive health and urological conditions), Laparoscopy (minimally invasive procedures), Pediatric Urology (addressing urological disorders in children), Endourology (minimally invasive urinary tract surgeries), and Reconstructive Urology (restoring function and structure to the genitourinary region).

Urologists employ a range of diagnostic tools and procedures, including imaging tests like CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasounds, and cystograms, as well as urodynamic tests, post-void residual urine tests, and cystoscopies, to provide specialized and effective care for patients of all ages and conditions.
