Urology

Details

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:

• Pediatric Urology (children's urology)
• Urologic Oncology (urologic cancers)
• Renal (kidney) Transplant
• Male Infertility
• Calculi (urinary tract stones)
• Female Urology
• Neurourology (nervous system control of genitourinary organs)

These urologists have more than 18 years of experience and they can offer behavior training –this is a kind of exercise that can help strengthen your pelvic muscles. The scope of urology is broad, and in most cases, urologists can perform the following procedures:

●       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.
