The urinary system comprises the kidneys, bladder, ureters and urethra. The branch of medicine which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the urinary system in both males and females, is known as urology. It employs a multidisciplinary approach, utilizing medical and surgical interventions, to manage a wide range of urologic disorders such as prostate disorders, erectile dysfunction, urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, bladder and kidney cancers, urinary tract obstructions, infertility, and congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract. Urology also deals with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the male reproductive system, such as erectile dysfunction and male infertility. These conditions can be treated through medication, hormonal therapy, minimally invasive procedures, and by surgical interventions. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of urology. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
