Urology

What is Urology?

Urology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. It covers diseases affecting the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra, and male organs such as the prostate and testes. Urologists treat a wide range of issues including kidney stones, urinary tract infections, male infertility, urinary incontinence, and urological cancers.
