Urology is a surgical super specialty dealing with surgical ailments of Genital & Urinary system in males and Urinary system in females. Urinary system includes kidneys, ureters ( tubes which deliver urine from the kidneys to bladder ), urinary bladder and urethra ( tube which delivers urine from the bladder to the outside ). Genital system in males include the penis, scrotum, testicles and its tubes, prostate, seminal vesicles and adrenal glands.
Common problems handled by this department include Stone disease, birth defects, infections, tumours, obstructions, prostate enlargement, infertility, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, kidney transplantation etc.
Genital ailments in females and pregnancy related issues are looked after by Obstretician and Gynaecologists. Many times they work together with Urologists in patients of stress urinary incontinence.
