What is Urology?

Urology involves the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the genito-urinary system. A urologist is a physician who is highly trained to treat disorders of the male and female urinary tract (bladder, ureter, kidney, and urethra) and the male reproductive system. Urologic problems are found in patients of all ages ranging from infants to the elderly, and treatments involve both surgical and non-surgical interventions. Conditions that urologists treat include benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), bladder control problems, erectile dysfunction (impotence), male infertility, prostate cancer, prostate disorders, and urinary incontinence.
