Urology encompasses diseases of the urinary system in men and women, as well as the male reproductive system. Main conditions include urinary tract infections, kidney stones, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and other sexual disorders. Additionally, urologists treat congenital conditions such as hypospadias and ureteral strictures. Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications from these diseases.
Various methods are used to diagnose urological diseases: urine analysis, biochemical blood analysis, ultrasound examination, X-ray studies (including computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging), endoscopic studies (cystoscopy, urethroscopy), biopsy, and others.
Treatment methods depend on the type and severity of the disease and include drug therapy, physiotherapy, surgical intervention, and other methods.
