Diagnosing and treating diseases of the urinary system. This system keeps the body clean by filtering out wastes and toxins and taking them out of the body. The urinary tract includes:
Treats conditions involving the reproductive organs and the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are located on top of the kidneys. The reproductive systems of males and females are linked closely to their urinary systems.
Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances — such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid — than the fluid in your urine can dilute. At the same time, your urine may lack substances that prevent crystals from sticking together, creating an ideal environment for kidney stones to form.
Factors that increase your risk of developing kidney stones include:
Andrology is a medical specialty which deals with the male reproductive system and urological problems found only in men. Specialists in andrology deal with all male health problems, especially problems in the genitourinary system/reproductive system. Therefore, any medical problem which is unique to men and experienced uniquely in the male body can be dealt with by a specialist in urology. Some of the conditions an andrologist is able to treat include:
Uro-oncology, or urological oncology, is a cancer discipline that deals with cancer of the male and female urinary tracts, as well as, the male reproductive organs. Urological oncology is concerned with the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of urological cancers that affect the urinary bladder, kidney, prostate, penis, and testicles.
Uro- Oncology offers compassionate care for those diagnosed with:
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgery used to treat urinary problems that are caused by an enlarged prostate.
TURP is generally considered an option for men who have moderate to severe urinary problems that haven't responded to medication. While TURP has been considered the most effective treatment for an enlarged prostate, a number of other, minimally invasive procedures are becoming more effective. These procedures generally cause fewer complications and have a quicker recovery period than TURP.
Urologic reconstruction is a surgical procedure that is done in order to restore the urinary tract to a functional state after it has been injured.
Urologic reconstruction is performed to treat the following conditions:
Female urology is the medical term for the science of identifying and curing urinary tract disorder in women. These disorders include urinary incontinence, pelvic floor prolapse, voiding dysfunction, recurrent UTIs, urethral syndrome, and intestinal cystitis. In order to assess these conditions, the doctor may conduct a physical examination and enquire the medical history of the patient. In order to evaluate the urinary tract, the doctor may order for imaging tests and urodynamics (bladder function test). Some patients may require evaluations such as cystoscopy to assess the situation. We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment options for female urology disorders.

Urological Infection is an infection that takes place in kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. Most UTIs are bladder infections. Bladder infections occur more in men than in women. This is because women have small urethra. Sexual intercourse makes women more prone to receive germs. The risk of UTIs is more if the patient is diabetic and pregnant.
