What is Urology?

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 of reproduction (penis, testes, scrotum, prostate, etc.). Since health problems in these body parts can happen to everyone, urologic health is important for everyone.
