Urology Team
Urology is a medical specialty that focuses on the urinary tract in males and females as well as the male reproductive organs. You may find you need a urology team if you experience common urological problems.
Common problems requiring a urology team are: general urology, such as urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections; male infertility or sexual dysfunction including prostatis and erectile dysfunction; kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) and prevention; urethral strictures; female urological issues such as urethra problems, vaginal organ prolapse, and vesicovaginal fistula; cancers of the bladder, kidney, penis, prostate, testicles, uterus and urethra.
There are many urology specialties which also may be able to help you locate the best urology team for your symptoms. Urological specialties include adult urology, female urology, pediatric urology, urological oncology, incontinence, male infertility, erectile dysfunction, and urological surgery.
The best place to start looking for a urologist is probably through your general practitioner. Your GP can give you a referral for a urology team that can help you with your particular urological issue. If you don’t have a referral to find a urology team, there are many websites available to help you locate a urology team by specialty and location.
