Urology
OVERVIEW
Our Urology services includes Two dedicated Urology surgery operating rooms equipped to perform urological surgical procedures, including multiple trauma.
What Are Urinary Disorders?
The urinary tract consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Your kidneys filter your blood, creating urine, which travels through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored. When the appropriate time comes, the muscles of your bladder contract and urine exits your body through your urethra. Urinary disorders include any diseases, disorders or conditions that affect your kidneys, ureters, bladder or urethra, or that affect their function.
Others specialize in a particular type of urology, such as:
- Female urology, which focuses on conditions of a woman’s reproductive and urinary tract.
- Male infertility, which focuses on problems that prevent a man from conceiving a baby with his partner.
- Neurourology, which focuses on urinary problems due to conditions of the nervous system.
- Pediatric urology, which focuses on urinary problems in children.
- Urologic oncology, which focuses on cancers of the urinary system, including the bladder, kidneys, prostate, and testicles.

- Renal urinary bladder and tract injuries
- Urinary Incontinence and retention related surgeries
Diagnostics
Urologists diagnose and treat diseases of the urinary tract in both men and women. They also diagnose and treat anything involving the reproductive tract in men.
In some cases, they may perform surgery. For example, they may remove cancer or open up a blockage in the urinary tract. Urologists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private clinics, and urology centers.
The urinary tract is the system that creates, stores, and removes urine from the body. Urologists can treat any part of this system. This includes the:
- kidneys, which are the organs that filter waste out of the blood to produce urine.
- Ureters, which are the tubes through which urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder.
- Bladder, which is the hollow sac that stores urine.
- Urethra, which is the tube through which urine travels from the bladder out of the body.
- Adrenal glands, which are the glands located on top of each kidney that release hormones.
Urologists also treat all parts of the male reproductive system. This system is made up of the:
- Penis, which is the organ that releases urine and carries sperm out of the body.
- Prostate, which is the gland underneath the bladder that adds fluid to sperm to produce semen.
- Testicles, which are the two oval organs inside the scrotum that make the hormone testosterone and produce sperm.
When Should You See A Urologist?
Your primary care doctor can treat you for mild urinary problems, such as a UTI. Your primary care doctor may refer you to a urologist if your symptoms don’t improve or if you have a condition that needs treatments they can’t provide.
You may need to see both a urologist and another specialist for certain conditions. For example, a man who has prostate cancer can see a cancer specialist called “an oncologist” and a urologist.
How do you know when it’s time to see a urologist? Having any of these symptoms suggests you have a problem in the urinary tract:
- Blood in your urine
- A frequent or urgent need to urinate
- Pain in your lower back, pelvis, or sides
- Pain or burning during urination
- Trouble urinating
- Urine leakage
- Weak urine flow, dribbling
- A decreased sexual desire
- A lump in the testicle
- Trouble getting or keeping an erection
What Procedures Do Urologists Perform?
When you visit a urologist, they’ll start by doing one or more of these tests to find out what condition you have:
- Imaging tests, such as a CT scan, MRI scan, or ultrasound, allow them to see inside your urinary tract
- They can order a cystogram, which involves taking X-ray images of your bladder
- They can use a urine sample to check your urine for bacteria that cause infections
- They can perform urodynamic testing to measure the pressure and volume inside your bladder
- Your urologist can perform a cystoscopy. This involves using a thin scope called a cystoscope to see the inside of your urethra and bladder
- They can perform a post-void residual urine test to find out how fast urine leaves your body during urination. It also shows how much urine is left in your bladder after you urinate
