Urology is the section of healthcare that deals with diseases affecting the urinary tract in both men and women. The urinary tract is made up of the kidneys, ureter, bladder, prostate and urethra. It also involves the men’s reproductive organs; including the penis, testes, scrotum. As we get older, it unfortunately becomes very common to encounter some form of urological problems.
A urologist will be able to see patients if they have problems with their urinary tract. A urologist is then able to subspecialise in a certain area of urology, such as stone disease, infertility or prostate cancer. This gives patients a more specialist approach from a consultant who is actively treating patients with a particular disease.
