Urology is the medical and surgical specialty that focuses on the urinary tracts of males and females, and on the reproductive system of males. Medical professionals specializing in the field of urology are called urologists and are trained to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with urological disorders. The organs covered by urology include the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and the male reproductive organs (testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate and penis).

 

The Urology department has the facilities to treat diseases of the urinary tract in men, women, & children. This can be operative (surgery) or medical (by drugs and other means).

Some of these problems are:

Urine out flow obstruction (blocked passage of urine) due to prostate problems, infections, stones, etc.

Urinary incontinence ( uncontrolled leakage of urine)

Cancer kidneys prostate & genitalia

Infertility and erectile dysfunction in men
