Urology

Urology is a surgical medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the kidneys, urinary tract, bladder, and male reproductive system.

Common conditions managed in urology include kidney stones, urinary tract infections, prostate disorders, urinary incontinence, male infertility, and urological cancers such as prostate, kidney, and bladder cancer.

The diagnostic process may involve laboratory tests, imaging studies, and endoscopic procedures. Treatment is personalized and can include medical therapies, minimally invasive interventions, or surgical procedures. The primary goal is to preserve urological health and improve the patient’s quality of life.
