What Is Urology?
Urology is the medical specialty focusing on the detection, treatment and surgical recovery of patients suffering from urinary tract conditions, both men and women (kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra), as well as of the male genital tract conditions (testicle, epididymis, penis, prostate, seminal vesicles, deferent ducts).
The urologic visit supposes an in-depth anamnesis, followed by the clinical examination of the urinary tract. Urology is closely related to other medical fields: andrology, nephrology, gynaecology and oncology.
