What is Urology?
Urology is the medical specialty focusing on disorders of the urinary tract and male reproductive system. Conditions treated by urologists include kidney stones, urinary tract infections (UTIs), prostate issues, and erectile dysfunction.
Common Urological Disorders
- Kidney Stones: Solid masses formed from crystals in the kidneys.
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland.
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Infections affecting any part of the urinary system.
- Erectile Dysfunction: Inability to achieve or maintain an erection.
- Overactive Bladder: Frequent and urgent need to urinate.
Diagnostic Procedures
Our urology department utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques:
- Urodynamic Testing: Assesses bladder and urethra function.
- Imaging Studies: Ultrasound, CT scans, and MRIs to visualize urinary structures.
- Cystoscopy: Direct visualization of the bladder and urethra using a scope.
