Urology is a field of medicine that studies the pathology of the genitourinary system. The urologist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of the urinary system of men and women (kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra), male genital organs and male infertility. Also urology deals with the treatment of urolithiasis.

The main causes of the disease can be: hypothermia, stress, unhealthy diet, a sedentary lifestyle and infections – all of which cause detrimental harm to the human genitourinary system.

There are a number of urological problems that affect both men and women. These include, in particular, diseases of the kidneys (pyelonephritis), ureters, bladder (cystitis, overactive bladder syndrome), urolithiasis and others.

Still, most of the urologist’s patients are men. They are brought to the doctor’s office by diseases of the genital organs: inflammatory processes of the prostate gland, urethra, disorders of sexual function, etc. In addition, the urologist deals with the problems of male infertility.

Prevention of urological diseases

Experts pay attention: with age, the risk of urological problems increases significantly. Therefore, both men and women, especially after 40-50 years, are strongly recommended to visit a urologist at least once a year. A thorough examination and diagnostics will reveal many problems even before the onset of clinical manifestations and take the necessary measures in time.

On the other hand, it is also recommended to visit a urologist’s consultations in adolescence, when the body is still in the stage of formation. During this period, minor deviations from the norm may be detected, for example, varicose veins of the spermatic cord, problems with the external genital organs, and non-descent of the testicles. Timely appeal to a urologist allows you to correct violations and provide professional control over the development of the adolescent’s body and his health.

A special group of patients are men undergoing examination before marriage or in preparation for conceiving a child. Today, a conscious decision to visit a doctor and attention to their health, as well as a responsible approach to family planning, are noted as a new positive trend among men around the world.
