A urologist is a medical doctor, who specialized in diagnosing and treating diseases of the urinary tract in men, women, children, and diseases that affect the reproductive system. These conditions range from peeing too much or too little to being unable to father a child.
They may perform surgery. For example, they may remove cancer or open up a blockage in the urinary tract. Urologists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private clinics, and urology centers.
The urinary tract is the system that creates, stores, and removes urine from the body. Urologists can treat any part of this system.
Kidneys are the organs that filter waste out of the blood to produce urine. Ureters are the tubes through which urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder. The bladder is the hollow sac that stores urine. The urethra is the tube through which urine travels from the bladder out of the body.
Adrenal glands are the glands located on top of each kidney that release hormones. Urologists also treat all parts of the male reproductive system. The penis is the organ that releases urine and carries sperm out of the body. Prostate is the gland underneath the bladder that adds fluid to sperm to produce semen. Testicles, are the two oval organs inside the scrotum that make the hormone testosterone and produce sperm.
