FAQ'S

WHAT IS UROLOGY?

Urology is a surgical speciality that addresses male and female diseases of the urinary tract, as well as male reproductive system disorders. Urology is a part of health care that deals with diseases of the male and female urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra). It also deals with the male organs that are able to make babies (penis, testes, scrotum, prostate, etc.). Since health problems in these body parts can happen to everyone, urologic health is important.

IT'S PAINFUL TO URINATE. WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM?

There are many conditions that could result in painful urination. An infection of the urinary tract or prostate is a common cause, along with obstructions in the urethra, kidney, bladder, or prostate.

THERE'S BLOOD IN MY URINE. WHAT MAY BE THE CAUSE?

The presence of blood in the urine could be the result of a minor cause or a serious underlying medical condition. To determine the source, a urologist will perform a thorough evaluation. The blood could be the result of an infection, kidney or bladder stones, cancer of the urinary system, or injury.

WHAT CAN I DO TO MAINTAIN GOOD UROLOGIC HEALTH?

The best way to avoid urological problems is to maintain good overall health habits, including exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding tobacco, excessive alcohol, and caffeine.

You should also avoid foods or substances that remove water from the body, known as diuretics.
