Urologists have a particular specialised focus on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the following:
- Urinary tract - including the urethra, kidneys and bladder.
- Prostate
- Testicles
- Adult urinary incontinence (leakage of urine)
Some urologists such as uro-gynaecologists specialise inn the treatment of female urinary issues.
Bladder problems are very common with around one in three women suffering from urinary incontinence at some stage in their life. Bladder problems can embarrassing and have a major impact on lifestyle. Women are understandably reluctant to discuss these problems with a doctor and as a result many women will suffer for years before seeking medical advice.
