Urology is the medical specialty that diagnoses and treats urinary diseases in men and women, and exclusive male genital diseases. Most urinary conditions target kidneys, the bladder, and the urethra. This specialty also covers prostate, testicles, and penis conditions.
Urologists are highly skilled professionals that study congenital malformations, infectious diseases of the kidney, bladder, and prostate, urolithiasis (kidney, ureter and bladder stones), urinary incontinence, prostatic hyperplasia and adenoma, and tumors in urinary organs.
These healthcare professionals also study and treat male sexual disorders, in particular erectile and ejaculation dysfunctions. It is also up to the Urologist to collaborate in infertility diagnosis and treatment. Urology surgical procedures, such as vasectomies, help manage male fertility.
