Urology
Your urologist knows all about the urinary system, which includes your kidneys, bladder, ureters (thin muscles that carry pee into your bladder) and urethra (tube that drains pee out of your bladder.)
Urologists also treat a man’s reproductive system, which includes the penis, testes, scrotum, and prostate.
A urologist could even serve as your primary doctor if you have:
- Regular problems with kidney stones
- Prostate cancer
- Long-term problems with holding your urine
Condition We Treat
- Undescended testes – where one or both of the testes have not descended into the scrotum at birth;
- Bladder exstrophy – where the skin over the bottom part of the stomach doesn’t form properly leaving the bladder open and exposed;
- Hypospadias – where the meatus, which is where urine exits from the urethra, is located on the underside of the penis instead of the tip;
- Epispadias – where the urethra and bladder do not form normally and the pelvic bones don’t sit together.
