Urology is the branch of medicine concerned with the urinary system of both males and females. It also covers health conditions related to male genitals and male reproduction.
A urologist is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating diseases/conditions that affect the urinary tract in men, women, and children, and diseases that affect the reproductive system. These conditions range from peeing too much or too little to being unable to father a child.
When to visit a Urologist?
You may need to consult a urologist when you have any urological problems or conditions affecting the urinary tract including kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, adrenal glands, and/ or problems in male reproductive organs like the penis, prostate, and testicles.
The urinary tract is the system that creates, stores, and removes urine from the body. Urologists can treat any part of this system including:
- Kidneys (organs that filter waste out of the blood to produce urine)
- Ureters (tubes through which urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder)
- Bladder (hollow sac that stores urine)
- Urethra (the tube through which urine travels from the bladder out of the body)
- Adrenal glands (glands located on top of each kidney that release hormones)
Urologists also treat all parts of the male reproductive system including:
- Penis (organ that releases urine and carries sperm out of the body)
- Prostate (gland underneath the bladder that adds fluid to sperm to produce
semen) - Testicles (two oval organs inside the scrotum that make the hormone
testosterone and produce sperm)
