General Info

Urology is a surgical specialty that focuses on the genitourinary tracts of men, women, and children. Urologists are trained to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with urological disorders. This field encompasses the medical and surgical management of cancers of the adrenal glands, kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate, and male reproductive organs. Urologic surgeons also treat a vast number of benign (non-cancerous) conditions such as kidney stones, urinary incontinence (leaking of urine), erectile dysfunction, male infertility, and trauma to the urinary organs.
