What is Urology?
Urology is a branch of medicine that deals with the health of the urinary tract and reproductive tract in men and women. Urologists are physicians who treat diseases of the urethra, bladder, and kidneys in men and women. Urologists are highly trained urological surgeons who use both medications and surgery as part of a comprehensive approach to care for men and women with urological problems. Urologists are also cancer surgeons who treat cancer of the urinary bladder, kidneys, prostate, and testis. Urologists also treat sexual problems in men including erectile dysfunction, male infertility.
What do Urologists Do?
Urologists are surgeons specializing in the medical and surgical treatment of diseases affecting the kidneys, urinary tract including ureters, bladder, and urethra. Urologists treat men, women, and children. There are more than 10,000 urologists in the USA.
There is a common misconception that urologists treat only males. This is not true. Urologists treat men and women.
– 40% of patients are female (kidney stones, renal/adrenal/bladder cancer, urinary incontinence, UTIs, OAB (Overactive Bladder), blood in the urine, renal cysts, kidney masses)
– 60% of patients are male (enlarged prostate, kidney stones, renal/bladder/prostate cancers, urinary incontinence, UTI, ED (erectile dysfunction), infertility.
In addition, urologists deal with diseases of the retroperitoneum where urological organs (kidneys, ureters, adrenal glands are located).
Urologists treat surgical diseases of the kidneys (kidney stones, cancer, obstruction of ureters or kidney, infections) while nephrologists treat medical diseases of the kidneys (chronic renal insufficiency, Nephropathies, glomerulopathies, glomerulonephritis, dialysis, etc). Often nephrologists and urologists work together to solve problems that are common to both specialties.
