Urology is the specialty that deals with problems in the urinary tract; the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. There are three main components to urology; stones, cancer, and problems with weeing:
Stones
Urinary tract stones can occur anywhere so rather than putting them on seperate pages, I've jammed them all on one. This is for kidneys, ureter and bladder. (If a stone's in the bladder, it'll probably pass through the urethra fairly easily).
Urological cancer
There are two big cancers in urology: prostate cancer and bladder cancer. Kidney cancer is generally due to metastases and urethral and penile cancers are uncommon.
Problems with wee
Other stuff
- Urinary tract infection is the most common urological condition, and as such is usually dealt with through GPs.
- Urology comes up a bit in paediatrics - mostly as UTIs in kids.
- Neurological conditions such as MS, Spinal cord injury and Parkinson's can have severe urological symptoms.
