Also known as a genitourinary
surgery in the field of medicine, urology is a branch of medicine that deals
with any problems associated with the urinary system –this includes bladder,
kidneys, urethra (the tube that
drains urine out of your bladder) and ureters (thin muscles that carry pee into
your bladder). This department can also treat a reproductive system of males
(penis, testicles, scrotum, prostate, et cetera).
This medical department has its own specialist doctors who are referred to as Urologists. If you have any problems with your urinary tract, FlyMedi can connect you with its partner hospitals which have urologists that have experience in the following seven branches of Urology:
● Cystoscopy. This is a detailed
examination of your bladder and urethra using a special telescope-like tool
that is referred to as a cystoscope.
● Ureteroscopy. Similar to the
above procedure (cystoscopy), ureteroscopy is a close-up look of your ureters
and kidneys.
● Prostate biopsy. This procedure
involves removing a tiny tissue sample from your prostate to test for cancer in
a laboratory.
● Nephrectomy. This is a procedure
that involves removing a kidney to treat cancer.
● Vasectomy. In this procedure, a urologist cuts the tubes that carry sperm so as to prevent pregnancy.
