Urology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders affecting the urinary system of both men and women, as well as the male reproductive organs. This field addresses a wide array of conditions, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones, bladder and prostate diseases, and male infertility. ​

Treatment options in urology range from non-invasive therapies to advanced surgical procedures, including minimally invasive techniques. The primary aim of urology is to provide effective and personalized care to improve patients' health and quality of life.

There are several signs that indicate it might be time to see a urologist. You should consider consulting a urologist if you experience: ​

• Urinary Issues: Difficulty urinating, frequent urination, blood in the urine, or urinary incontinence.
• Pain: Persistent pain in the lower back, pelvis, or sides, which may indicate kidney stones or other urinary tract issues.
• Reproductive Health Concerns:Male infertility, erectile dysfunction, or other sexual health issues.
• Prostate Problems: Symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, weak urine flow, or the need to urinate frequently at night, which could indicate prostate issues.
• Infections:Recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs) that do not respond to typical treatments.
• Kidney Stones:Severe pain, especially in the back or side, that may indicate the presence of kidney stones.
• Cancer Screening and Treatment: If you have been diagnosed with or are at risk for cancers of the urinary tract, including bladder, kidney, and prostate cancer.
• Testicular Pain or Lumps:Any unusual pain, swelling, or lumps in the testicles. Consulting a urologist is important for receiving a proper diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your specific condition, which can help improve your health and quality of life.
