Urology


Urology is a field of medicine and surgery that focuses on the study of genito-urinary tract problems. Here, conditions affecting the kidneys, adrenal glands, bladder, urethra, and male reproductive systems are treated. Males' reproductive and urine systems are intimately correlated, and because of this, problems affecting one system have an impact on the other, leading to Genito-urinary illnesses. Urologists are physicians who specialise in treating these problems. Numerous conditions are treated, including urine incontinence, renal dysfunction, prostate and kidney cancer, kidney stones, and male infertility.

FAQs

Urinary tract infections are UTIs. Bacteria, fungi, and viruses cause infections. Bacteria cause most UTIs. Before causing symptoms, the body quickly removes bacteria from the urinary tract. However, sometimes microorganisms cause infection. Urethritis is urethral infection. Cystitis is bladder infection. The ureters can spread bacteria to the kidneys. Pyelonephritis is kidney infection.

Blood in the urine is known as haematuria. There are two kinds of blood in the urine. Gross haematuria is the medical term for blood that is visible in the urine. Microscopic haematuria refers to the presence of blood in the urine that can only be detected under a microscope.

Treatment for haematuria involves addressing its underlying cause. There is no need for treatment if there is no significant condition causing the haematuria. Antibiotics are used to treat haematuria brought on by a UTI; urinalysis should be performed six weeks after the antibiotic course has ended to ensure the infection has subsided.

When a person is dealing with or exhibiting symptoms of a disorder affecting the genitourinary tract, such as, but not limited to, recurrent urinary tract infections, blood in urination, poor bladder control, urine leakage, or difficulty urinating, they should seek the advice of a qualified urologist.
